How to monetize this website ?

[krazylearner]

Hi

I have a year old website in bars and nightlife niche which has recently started to gain traction. Traffic is mostly organic from USA. I am currently using adsense which gives me 2$ a month. Can anybody suggest alternate monitization method which can be implemented on this website. I am thinking of adding some dating CPA offers but afraid google may penalize my website. I assume this website will soon reach 5000 visitors per month.

If you use dating banner ads on your website Google may penalise you. I think you should contact to some traveling website and show banner ads and can see it works or not. You can keep testing some other CPA offers.

4 is nothing ... Why do you afraid?

I'd keep publishing new content as the growth looks pretty healthy. Don't expect anything from 1.8K monthly traffic.

how'd you get your backlinks?

 

[tiagocardoso]

Only 2$ month? Your ad placements may be wrong, or your niche is not the best.

Bars & nightlife?

You may want to read your audience a little better. Gauge which pages they stay on the longest, what the bounce rate is, etc.

Maybe partner with a liquor distributor of some kind. Make attempts to contact them. Here is a couple affiliate programs:

Hope this helps!

Don't Worry About Google Penalties Because $2 Is Too Low

Yes I am little afraid to increase number of articles per month without any specific reason. My goal is to scale this website to 100k page views per month until the end of this year. How many articles you think I should publish per month ?

You should do competitor research, find their top keywords, write content for these keywords to scale up your traffic. Once you have over 10k visitors per month, then you can think about other ways to monetize.
