    Hi there,

    I hae a travel site with very good traffic. I was wondering if there are any specific ways to monetizing the traffic.

    1. Adsense/YPN is the obvious route.

    Does any know of any other specific ways to monetize travel traffic?

    Contact hotels in the regions your site is about, and ask them if they want to advertise on your site.

    A couple of others....

    Link sales at place like DP used to be good business on travel sites, the bottom seems to have dropped out of that market.

    For the right-kind of site (PR4+, unique content) text-links-ads used to work well of travel sites, but the bottom seems to have dropped out of that market as well lately!

    I discover a fair bit of affiliate programs for hotel and air travel.

    Does anyone know of any programs that has to do with Frequent Flyers Miles?

    There is also software out there to run your own PPC network, sort of like AdSense... but you control everything.
