I’m going to start this section as an ongoing topic.  It seems that not everyone is destined to click our adverts and convert into adsense $$$ or some sales commission $$$.   Running a couple of online game type sites, they seem to be the worst offenders, aswell as some of the more aggregating news sites I am running.  Easily hitting over 1000 impressions with no clicks(daily on some of the sites), I am considering my options on bumping up those earnings on the crappy traffic sites.

It stands to reason if they only come for playing games or whatever they dont want to click the adverts, so I have to choices…

Aggressively place adverts in sneaky positions, perhaps risking my adsense account, or perhaps using a CPA gateway frame of some kind.

Finding some decent ways to monetise on the CPM level with banner impressions and popups.

Although I really dont mind travelling the naughty path, I’d feel better with a legit CPM model.  After all, potentially a good games site could get 10s of thousands of page impressions in a month especially with bookmarkers!

So anyway, I’m going to be looking into CPM sponsors, PPV sponsors and popup/under/whatever types of sponsors and affiliate programs.  It’s a murky area I’m beginning to discover, with either real low payouts or risks of not getting paid (if using new companies)

Lets see how it goes…
