Can I make money from my site? Can't Post

Hi!

I have 4000 page views per day, is that enough to generate some revenue from that? I would like to join an affiliate program, but I dont know which one is the best. It would be nice to make money to pay my hosting.

Any suggestion would be great!

In my experience, affiliate programs haven't worked too well. Google ads seem to generated more revenue...

Hi pitty,

I would recommend checking out either hotscripts.com or the CGI Resource Index. They're both resource directories with links to thousands of scripts. I've posted links below to the Affiliate Program categories on their respective websites.

Hotscripts.com:

CGI Resource Index:

If you have any other questions please let me know! Smile

I posted a lengthy reply to this very question today in another thread. I'll just link to it in case you (or anyone else) is still wondering the answer to this question.

The short answer is yes you can. I make a total of about $2.50 per thousand pages shown. Is $300 a month enough to make it worth your while? I'd argue that it is. Further, while some may complain about the introduction of ads to your site, these are the very same people who wouldn't give you a nickel for your content if you needed a kidney transplant. Publications require revenue to stay in business, plain and simple. No one faults print or television media for advertising, they have to pay their bills and so do you.

Here's the thread I posted in with a fairly lengthy run-down of money-making sites, including the ones that don't do as well.

You can see how I've implemented them by visiting www.glossynews.com and poking around. I think it's been done in a reasonably tasteful manner. Hopefully you agree, but if you don't, that's cool too because you had to view them to dislike them, and that pays too.
