I have a website that I setup about 3 months ago. I was on local TV twice because of it. I have been averaging 6 million visits a month, this month I just did 21 million almost 22 million. How can I make some more money with advertising companys. I am running fastclick.com ads but they are sorta lame and look spammy, im looking for legit looking ads.

Thanks

Is it http://aifam.com/ ?

Site says: "Instant Message AIFAMdotcom on AOL for live tech support"

However, Alexa has no data for it:
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/main?q=&url=http://www.aifam.com

Web's top sites in March 2004 lists these sites at around 18 million unique visitors.

#17 Monster 18,355,000
#18 Shopping.com Sites 18,004,000
#19 Expedia Travel 17,570,000
#44 Earthlink 11,426,000
#20 Ask Jeeves 17,524,000
#48 Apple Computer, Inc. 10,371,000

What's the site that gets more traffic than Monster, or Expedia?

he's talking about it in this post:

"Advertising a site for a local market?
I am looking for good methods to advertise a site that will be used only in a certain town. The site is used to buy and sell items locally, similiar to the classifieds and an auction online. Currently I have 279 users I was on the local ABC news for the site. However it hasnt picked up as fast as I hoped it would. I just started a contest to give away $50.00 to registered active users. This got me about 10 users in 24 hours. I am still hoping to get 50-100 users a day.
I need help with ideas, preferably cheap ideas to promote this site locally.
Any help would be greatly appreciated"

LOL LOL LOL Laughing out loud :D

Your website gets 22million hits a month and your asking how to advertise it?

Please its 3 in the morning and all this laughing is hurting me.

If your website got 22 million hits a month the advertisers would be banging down your door with sledgehammers and pushing suitcases of money into your hand.

Seeing as thats more viewers than an advertisment in a prime time tv commersial.
Can i see your server log? LOL

Oh im bad.....

Perhaps he's counting actual hits, not visitors... That would inflate the logs by quite a chunk. Although, I don't know, that would only inflate his count by 14x -- if TWF did that it would result in 50x the real visitors... Whoa. That's a lot of pieces being included.

Perhaps, aifam, you can let us know and prevent further speculation?

The website was featured on WOKR13 ABC, and RNEWS channel 9 in Rochester NY. The 21 million # was the number of impressions on my pages, not visitors sorry.

We had over 1000 auctions last month, we updated the servers so we were down for 2 days. Then someone posted a bunch of racist slur auctions, and porno for sale. I pulled them within an hour of the listing be listed but it killed us. I am working on some more public relation stuff to be released in June that should get us some airtime on TV and the radios again.

I had about 2200 hits from spiders.

why do you only have like 220 auctions? Did you use any deceptive advertising companies? maybe mis leading links? pop-unders?

even with 1,000,000 hits you should have more than 200 auctions.
