Hi everyone,

I run a new photo sharing web site and I am trying to figure out what kind of products would be most likely to draw user clicks...

As you can imagine, probably 20-30% of the traffic comes from the people who share their photos and the rest comes from friends and family which stop by to see those photos (meaning, there is no well-defined kind of people visiting).

Google ads are highly-irrelevant to my site, since the content is mostly graphic and the only text you could see is the headings and any short description which most users do not bother to enter :)

I would be grateful for any advise on best-selling products/services for the general public. Also, I will be happy to give you my URL in a sticky to anyone who is interested in taking a look...

One thing that you can try is using tags on your site. If your visitors really start using tags, you can display the ads based on the tag content.

Other than that, lot of pictures are about places. So promoting a travel related merchant might be a good idea.

cheers!

As noted by adsenseadvisor in another thread, the best thing you can do to get relevant adsense ads is to include some text about each image. This is supposed to bring in the ads that match the images...Your mileage may vary.

Camera stores and accesories - ebay - amazon - some other merchants who sell similar stuff. You probably don't have real motivated buyers there so long cookie durations or contextual ads would probably work best.
