Need help strategising my money situation

**Philiwily** · 01-18-2009, 06:02 PM

So... I just moved to a new server, which is costing me about $25 more a month than my last one, maybe even $35 (seeing as my server is struggling). I use Kontera and that barely pays for hosting, let alone my forum subscription and domain names. I was banned from Google Adsense a while ago for a bogus reason. I have applied to Yahoo Ads beta several times, yesterday is the most recent.
I have about 11,000 members, 1,300 unique visitors a day, and about 10,000 pageviews a day. Do you guys have any suggestions for making more money? Paid member groups, affiliate advertising, etc.? I would really appreciate some help, because I'm kind of freaking out with my money situation.

I have a much smaller site, but will still watch this thread for ideas.

Friend, maybe you can use your site for people buy text link ads in your site.
Its good enough. and if you have good traffic, i suggest you use your site for affiliate.

You could probably make a fair amount just from private advertising, selling banner ads and text links on your own. Make up an advertising page with your prices and post the link at various webmaster forums and you should be able to sell some spaces.

you make proposal for built text link ads.
I think is good enough for making money. and you can count per link.

What do I do about seeking people out though? No one on my forums is really going to want to advertise on my site and I don't know where to go to get advertisers. Should I just expect that people find it via Google?

Post at various webmaster forums like the advertising section here at AF that you have banner space for sale.
