Monetizing a guitar tab/lyrics website

Posted on 2:25 AM by programlover









Hey guys,





I basically have a guitar tablature website and wanted your suggestions on how to monetize it to it's full potential. I felt guitar tabs and lyrics sites fall under a similar category so wanted suggestions of owners of either sites.



I currently run AdSense on there with a few affiliate links on the sitewide links. Personally I don't feel that AdSense is the best option on sites like this as visitors come and go very quickly without really looking at the ads. That's just my personal opinion, if you feel otherwise please tell me.



Just to give an idea of what size of site we're looking at in terms of traffic, in October it received:



92,599 Unique Visitors

453,518 Page Views



And the top 10 traffic source breakdown is:



United States 11,089

France 6,363

Germany 5,429

Italy 4,557

Brazil 4,186

Mexico 3,880

Poland 3,519

United Kingdom 3,473

Spain 3,355

Argentina 2,935



Please give me your opinions on how to monetize this site!





Thanks!
