I'd love to know the answer to this one. I've always sucked at monetizing and I get 300k pviews/month. I've attempted joining the larger tech blog ad networks but they pretty much won't talk to you until you hit 1M pviews/month. I'm not one for ugly advertising like adsense - just a personal thing, so I've started running those 125x125 ad blocks and various sponsorship things. They're hard to sell but if you can find the right companies and get decent traffic you can do alright. I sold my last 125x125 for $800 for a month.


Paul, you should certainly take a look at dropping affiliate links into your post. At Triggit we have bloggers making really good money with content like yours. With shopping.com paying a buck a click for gadget traffic it can be really lucrative. Best of luck.


Paul, when you write your great reviews why not use affiliate links to the products? Seems like an non-intrusive way to monetize your content.


Hi,

300K pviews a month is pretty good. Can you point me to your blog? I would love to check it out.
