Yo

One of my sites is an image based blog, think stupid/WTF pics etc that was launched a year or two ago, I had a VA update it with content for a while and forgot about it as I was just experimenting and have other projects that actually make money.

Now I look at the stats and it gets 200 uniques a day mainly from US and EU with some Indian traffic. Lots of sticky traffic and repeat views... Annoying as I work (and spend) alot to generate those levels of traffic for less crappy sites.

Anyway, I've got GUMGUM image ads on their, but they make about $0.05 a day in total. Dont want to put Adsense on there as I only have it on high quality sites with big traffic.

Any ideas for monetization? Decent ad networks that don't need text content on the site etc? Chitika and adbrite suck right?
 


Add all of the images in to a single .rar and put a large banner on the site with text "Download all of the images here" or something like that, and then protect the download link with AdScend Media or other CPA link gateway.

edit: it would greatly help if you could disable any other way of downloading images, for example disable right mouse button click via JavaScript.
