Hello everyone,

i have a small Albanian website "ose.al" for tech news. Sincerly is not ranked so bad in Google, i have a lot of terms in TOP 3 position. For this results i only used a Yoast SEO plugin for WP and nothing else. I never paid for ads (backlinks or other things), and i have a FB and IG page with more than 10K followers. Monthly we have a 8K visitors going up month by months. I want to ask to everyone, if you could please have a 2 min to have a look at my website and to respond:
  • What should be your top 3 things to do for SEO and Website improving?
About how to monetize. In Albania you cannot use AdSense, but you can use other platforms. The problem is that the ads are not TECH ads, and i don't like to see "How to loose weight" on a tech blog.
I'm using sometimes affiliate links, but in Albania Amazon is not selling, and from AliExpress or other chinese stores is very difficult.
  • Any idea on how i can monetize?
Or simply i should let it go and have this website only as a hobby?

thanks to everyone;)
 
Perhaps you can push affiliate links? Like Amazon or other marketplaces, you can write reviews of products. This could work :)

You can also try selling advertorials / paid guest posts.

I wrote that Amazon is not selling to Albania so affiliate links are useless, i made only 4 sales in 2 years in Europe (maybe albanians that live outside). Othe marketplaces have the same problem.

About selling advertorials and paid guest post, don't know where to start from...

You can start by creating an advertise with us page. There you place your requirements for your guest posts. Since you said you want tech related ads, you can rent banner space on your site too.

It's a good idea. I can try this one. Thank you! Any other idea?
 
Never thought about trying out the Albanian market. Ads are a way to go since Amazon doesn't exist in Albania, you will be better of teaming up with a tech provider for a % for each sale etc, but you will need to call up some ppl

Yes but in Albania, 99% of sales are NOT online. I think less that 1% is online. I have no idea how to know if he sold something or not. And Ads are frustating too since Adsense is not working either...
