Hey guys,

I’m looking to make a few (lots ;) ) more bucks from my traffic.
Any one have an idea?

I have tried a few of the classics obviously, but looking for new stuff, more effective?
Contextual, for sure, although I do have videos…

I’d hate it to be intrusive, something light…

Any help from you guys, most appreciated :icon_mrgreen:

ThanX Al

A short, practical roadmap to try next without being intrusive — building on the suggestions in this thread from , , , and others.

Start by prioritizing pages. Use analytics to find the pages (and videos) that deliver the most real visitors but the least revenue. Pick 3 high-volume pages and treat each as an experiment: run one monetization approach per page (native/in-content, a targeted affiliate offer, and a light video unit or sponsorship), run them side-by-side, and measure RPM, CTR, conversion rate and page bounce over 4–8 weeks. Keep changes isolated so results are attributable.

Video-specific approaches and troubleshooting: use unobtrusive formats for short clips (end cards or overlays) and reserve pre-/mid-roll for longer, engaged videos. If a third-party player or ad tag fails, check these first:

  • Verify the raw video URL serves a 200 response and correct Content-Type (test in browser and curl).
  • Test an isolated HTML page (no CMS/plugins) to rule out template conflicts.
  • Confirm the player supports the encoded format (progressive MP4/HLS preferred today) and that CORS/HTTPS mismatches aren’t blocking requests.
  • Inspect the browser console/network tab for HTTP errors and missing resources; capture exact error messages before contacting vendor support.
  • If using older CMS/plugins, consider upgrading the player to an HTML5 player or serving via a simple CDN-hosted file to reduce complexity.

Other revenue paths to test: niche sponsorships or paid posts, small paid membership tiers for heavy users, an email list with targeted offers, and selling simple digital products tied to your audience. For any partner or network evaluate fill rate, reporting transparency, payout terms, and privacy/compliance requirements so you don’t trade short-term revenue for long-term UX or legal headaches.

Well, if if your site have lots of traffic then try to put an adsense ads there. That will surely give you bucks.

AdBrite InVideo is a new facility offered by the homonymous online self-service advertising marketplace to their already very compelling, easy-to-use and well organized blog monetization tools.

:icon_neutral: Thanks guys

However I have tested Adsense and was NOT satisfied by it at all.
I was way over the testing period and nothing (much) would happen in terms of income...:@
So after a few months I am looking for something new.

I have heard of Adbrite, but I didn't know they did video ads.
I 'll look into it.

I am however still searching for a complete suite, if that is even possible...:-/

I have a good income in adsense and my traffic ranges only from 100-200 per day.

Conversion domination. Not all traffic offers conversion. Optimize your keywords and get ranked at Search Engines.

Adsense is much better than the other way to monetize

I think I found something. I have registered and waiting for approval.:cool:

The name of the web and company is adoptim
It's a network that offers different formats for monetizing like the "classic" intext ads, banners in videos and other search formats.

One thing that might interest many webmasters is the search page you can include in parked domain pages.
You don't even need content and you can earn some money.
I know I have a few of those... lack of time to write contents....


Once I'm approved, testing will begin and I will keep you informed -- it's nice to know there are alternatives...:icon_mrgreen:

See this lists if you can find some good alternative.

Try to find affiliate programs you enjoy and know to promote.

See this lists if you can find some good alternative.

Thanks Nice list!!
You tried them all?

I will test adoptim and I will tell you if it's worth adding :)

I'm back with a little update on what I've done with Adoptim.
I started out with "regular" campaigns - banners .
Once that is conclusive, I will test the intext ad and invideo ad by Adoptim.

I managed 1 sale in just a couple of weeks from 2509 impressions and 356 clicks and 2 leads.:)
I earned 54$, I am now waiting to get my first payment as it's a min of 50$ they pay twice a month

So this in mind, next week I should get paid and continue testing with all the other tools

It's a beginning; I guess we have to wait a bit to earn more.
Next update soon :icon_cheesygrin:

Well if Adsense wont work for you than I am sure adbrite is also not for you. Because working pattern of both are almost same.

Adsense have more advertiser than adsense. So you must be look for some affiliate like Commission Junction or Shareasales or clickbank ...

Best of Luck

I also registered on this affiliate site but no earning yet.

I've had nothing but poor response and problems with adbrite's InVideo service - it was working fine, but a couple of months ago it stopped - and now when I add a video to our site using the same procedure I always did, I get an "error unknown video. Sorry but the video player is trying to open a video which doesn't exist on our system" instead of the video.

I did a test using an FLV on our server that works (all the video's added more than 3 months ago work still) and created new code for that video - it doesn't work - I get the same error. I even tested by adding the old and the new on one page - the old works, the new doesn't - this (in my opinion) narrows down the problem to Adbrite, but they are their usual unhelpful uncaring selves.

Does anyone know of an alternative to InVideo - or can anyone still use this service without a problem? I'd love to hear from either - I need to get this working or get an alternative for my clients. (My client's site is created using Joomla 1.0.15)
