Thanks a lot and take care of yourself.

How green is the grass on the other side of the fence?
Not much. Don’t believe it I tell you.

OK, I get more than 500K page views a month, but the problem is that I am the highest trafficked blog in my specific genre. Any advice on what to do now?

Ryan said, “When a site passes 500K pageviews per month, no, when a site passes 1 million page views per month, what should the site owner do to expand his advertising revenue? Right now all I know about are blogads, TLA and AdSense and make about $1300/month. ”

The three things you mentioned should be your fillers, bringing maybe 25% of your revenue. You should be selling your own sponsorships ala Techcrunch to bring in the vast majority of your income, and fill the rest with the other stuff you mentioned and a few other ideas.

Or go to FM and have them do it for your cut. Depends on how much work you want to do.

It’s not that hard to sell your own ads man. If you have that many views, you can easily go out and find advertisers. Just go to some big blogs in your niche and see who advertises, and contact them directly and let them know they can pay less by cutting out FM :)

Sorry, it’s true. Just a bit of leg work for a bigger profit. Throw up a simple ad server and spend an hour a week managing it. Don’t let anyone let you think it’s that hard, if you only have one site and a handful of ads.

Frankly, I’ve been hearing that many large publishers have been cutting out Google and going straight to the advertisers as well. If you’re not selling CPC, you don’t have to worry about fraud. Most any advertiser would love to cut out the middle man and go direct for a savings.
