Am I Monetizing My Site The Right Way?
I have amazon associates ads and I can’t use Adsense because they don’t approve of my content so I’m using an Adsense alternative called Smowtion which someone recommended to me saying it was worth it. I haven’t made money from either yet. My site has been around for only a month and I just started sending it out to search engines and what not a couple days ago. Maybe I’m not waiting long enough? I mean the site itself has a lot of potential so I know its not the topic. I just wanna make sure I’m using the best monetization services available to me, if smowtion isn’t worth it, I’d like to know.
You be the judge, if you go to google and type in License to Get Paid, it should be the first one there. Licensetogetpaid dot com
I checked out your site and to be honest with you, I didn’t even want to stay long. You have no attention grabbing headline solving my problem and you are not offering me nothing for FREE. Plus YOU HAVE NO CONTENT!!! People come online in search of information so give people what they want. What are you offering and why should I stay on your site? You have about 3 seconds to capture the attention of your website visitors, so capture it and keep me wanting more! What’s in it for me? No… not YOU, but your visitors! This should be your mantra! When I first landed on your home page, you have big graphics that’s not related to what you’re trying to promote. I assume you’re trying to promote affiliate programs for those who want to promote other people’s products online. But, who is your target group? Also, you have pages unfinished; “Facts and Research”, “Top 10 Paid Sites”, and “Links”. If you have no content on those pages then remove them from your site until you complete those pages. Mind the basics! Other questions you should ask yourself… where is my traffic coming from? How do I analyze my traffic? What am I offering that has value for free?
What I do like: your determination and the willingness to ask questions! Just keep plugging at it and you’ll find your way. Make changes to your website that draws your traffic in and wanting them to give you their name and email address in exchange for information. Keep up the good work
Your problem is not so much what monetizing service you are using, rather, your site’s traffic. When your site gets more traffic, you’ll be making money.
