I get 100% of my revenue from adsense (mainly because cj.com doesnt have an affiliate in my small niche).
I am looking into other way to monetize my site. The first step was the brainstorm a list of all the ways I could think of. If you have any to add I'd love to hear them.
1. Merchandise (T-shirts, etc.. etc..)
2. PPC (Adsense, Adsonar, etc.. etc..)
3. Banner Ads (Burst Media, Fastclick etc.. etc..)
4. Selling your own ads
5. Commission Links (CJ.com, Maxbounty etc.. etc..)
6. Amazon Links
7. Selling your own "special content" (expanded additions etc..)
8. Going membership based
Anyone have others to add?
Don't be so sure that there aren't affiliate programs that would match your site. Often, they don't even have to be exact matches. The trick is to figure out what people visiting your site might be interested in. Feel free to PM me your URL or niche and I'll probably be able to give you some ideas.
