How are you making money with mainstream sites?
I have a couple of mainstreams Sites together they hit like 150k a day but I'm just pulling in $100 from Adsense. Bandwidth is taking most of that.
Any other good programs,sponsors anything?

Ref codes are cool with me :thumbsup

Casino Blasters

everybody likes gambling :pimp

Keep changing your filters/qualification pages until you hit a combo that pays well.

Haven't made any money on mainstream lately. Other than by designing sites for businesses in my community.
Not a lot of money, though :(

What type of mainstream sites are you running? Mainstream is sooo broad of a word. :(

Mediaplazza ringtones and java games

Adsense has been paying very well lately, I guess it all about the words you go after :)

Have you tried Azoogleads?

Crossover. What type of sites?

Use Cashengines
they convert well and pay per signup

that sounds horrible for adsense. have you tried messing with the color scheme and stuff? let me see your pages i might be able to help. most of my pages have a CTR of about 20%.

20% WHAT!!!!???

I'd like to get into ring tones, anyone know any that bill in £?

the Epic Cash ringtone stuff is good to push

I have about 25k(160-200k pageviews because the surfer stay for a long time) and this is what a average day look like

But on www.tradedoubler.com I get 20-50% CTR... but NOT on google adsense

20%?

My bad days with Adsense are when I get down to 55-60%

cellphonebucks i think, its one of netponds sites

What kind of site is it and are you willing to sell the site?

I've been making $500 or so a month just through Cafepress referrals.

Not sure if that would work for you, but I was kinda impressed.

If you have such a high CTR on google adsende, it must be because what is on the banner is better than what is on your site = no bookmarkers.

guess all that matter is what you get payed in the end of the day, and the ~$100 MORE than pays my BW bill

you go down to 55% clickthru..... my bad that's horrible



wtf are you talking about???

http://www.claxon.com pays on CPM banners, skyscrapers, and leaderboards. I'm pretty sure they take all types of mainstream sites.

I really need to find more time to get some main stream stuff myself.

He must do like:
- Fullscreen window
- no other outgoing link than his large google textbanner
- only 5-10 keywords on the page

Flawed logic. A surfers clicks because they are interested in learning more (inline ads in an article with great content works very well in this case). I target surfers who are in a buying behavorial mode, already have their credit cards handy and are ready to purchase something.

I use the filter list alot too, eBay and other low-bidders with rather untargeted content do not touch my sites.

Don't be jealous.

I'm not going to argue with you. I make enough with Adsense that Google sends me checks every month via UPS.

It's all about Adsense placement and banner sizes.

Targetted ads taylored to your surfers will help.

sorry - dident want to piss on you or anything... :pimp

use your adult webmaster ninja skills... and you will do fine....

yea, using adult webmaster skills on mainstream seems to work.

Awesome, you just most people here to submit their mainstream products to TGP's.

Sad part is it works.... Trust me ... Maybe I might post a gallery later in this thread and show you what i mean!

bullshit :) msg me and ill teach u!

Its all about contrast and placement -- test until you reach your desired point.

I usually do 7-15% CTR on my Adsense sites. I try to move traffic to other pages on my sites so I'm not really better off having a higher CTR.

What kind of CPC are you guys averaging? My very general sites usually do pretty bad, maybe 5 cents, but my best sites average over a dollar a click/
