I have a blog that’s based on computers but I’m having a lot of trouble monetizing it.
The site gets about 50-90 visitors per day. Currently I have adsense on there, and it is only making around 20 cents a day. I think this might be more due to ad blindness in computer savvy users rather than ad placement.
I am new to internet marketing and am currently interested in other ways to monetize this blog so any help or advice on how to do this would be great.

Are you writing/obtaining quality content, which is updated on a very regular basis? What are you doing to boost traffic? Are you promoting any affiliate links on the site closely related to your niche? Drop a link to the site and we might be able to provide more specific suggestions. After you have been a member here a bit longer we can talk about a few other methods of increasing the $$$ your site brings in.
The quality of articles is good, but I could (and will be) updating it more. Currently its only a post-ping-socially bookmark to get traffic.
No just adsense. I’m new to this and haven’t really got experience with affiliate products. Also I’m a bit lost on the best way to do this. A review post or a banner instead of where I’ve got an adsense banner or what?
by the way the site is w3.hometheatrepcguide.com
hmm you don’t help new members? Thats ok, I plan on becoming a helpful member and posting some downloads, so perhaps when I’m more active …
Yeah what’s up with that? If I could help I would, but right now I’m working with some other ideas to make money, although eventually I want to get a network of websites going.
I did not mean to suggest that we do not help new members here. I was eluding to the fact that once you have a certain level of posts, other areas of the forum become available. Sorry about the confusion.
The niche you have chosen appears to be relatively unique. To begin with, I would suggest spying on any competition you have to see what kind of affiliates they are promoting. Secondly, you need to get rid of some of that adsense code. It detracts from the content of your site. Replace the adsense code on the left with an affiliate link that complements your niche (become an affiliate for a company that sells ht computers and add their banner). Also, it looks like you might be pretty tech savvy. Why not create a youtube video demonstrating how to create or pointing out the benefits of an htpc. At the end of the video, brand it with a link to your site in an effort to boost traffic.
Yep I second that suggeston about the AS on the left. Also, put your big 300 square slap bang in the middle at the top, to replace your current first item. It’s crude, it’s rude but it works!
oh sorry I didn’t realize that… (I’ve actually been reading these forums for a while, just soaking up all the great information available)
Yeh I know it’s a unique niche. I’m new to this and figured I should start by writing about something I know.
Thanks for the suggestions. The banner instead of the left adsense sounds good – Do most affiliate stores provide their own banners? Also you were saying the adsense detracts from the content, should I be cutting it down more?
I was also thinking of adding like an ebay store or something, I’m not really sure if this is good idea?
Youtube video sounds good for traffic. I feel a bit uncomfortable with the idea of me on video but I suppose it’s something I should start getting used to.
