How should I monetize?

Hey everyone,
A new site I made is getting good traffic, but I am having trouble monetizing. The site is www.freetvlinks.net and I received most of my traffic from social sites like digg and stumbleupon. It is currently getting about 3.5k uniques and 16k pageviews. Now, most people are returning visitors or they are coming from links on forums, blogs, SEs, etc... Currently, I am only getting about $.35 cpm with the ypn ads. Does anyone have ideas on other ways to generate revenue from this site? Also, what are some other ways I can generate traffic?

Thanks!

 

IMO, the traffics from social networking sites are temporary, I think you should add good content as just the video and tv links is not going to help you a lot. you should also target the audience from film/TV related sites/forums as well such as rottentomatto/Ifilm etc.

 

Just don't use auto surf techniques or stuff like that. Some of that traffic click your ads then you can get banned from whatever program for false clicks.

 

Thanks for the tips everyone! Even thought alot of my traffic was from social networking sites, Im starting to get returning visitors and higher quality traffic, but my CPM is still low. I was thinking about selling links, what would be a fair price?

 

Try adsense may help

 

Just a quick note I visited your site and the YPN ad block is covering one of your buttons Im not sure if thats how you wanted it. Just letting you know

 

Firstly, I'd make the YPN ads blend a little better. I think you could
offer contextual affiliate products to go with particular programs,
and more indepth reviewed affiliate (or even your own) products
for channels.

 

It's all about ads placement, I think you should place your ad after articles rather than right side, as the way people finished reading and want somewhere to go they can click on ad after reading.

 

Try geo-targeted dating ads. Those normally do well for your site's demographic (from what I can gather) - males 18-34.
