How do you handle to much traffic??

[l0zo]

Hey I have a website, that was on steady 150-200 uniques a day and after some ad ons and promoting it gets over 3.5k a day, i cant afford buying that much bandwith, i got suspended from my hosting account the first day the traffic went up because it used up over 20gigs, but this traffic does not create much revenue either. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to use this traffic more usefully??

depends on what the website is about, you need to turn those visitors into cash so you can afford better hosting, if there is no way to turn these visitors into cash then just park the page and hopefully they click the ads and make you some cash. Hard to tell ya what to do unless I know the content of the website.

Image Hosting

Well if your getting tonnes of traffic, and you need more money ads would be the way to go, or maybe some donation buttons...?

but only have enough ads to cover the costs of the site and maybe a little extra for development, I hate going to sites that have ads left right center bottom middle top :td: it just kills the site lol

People dont click the ads, i think it has one of the lowest CTR, image hosting that is.

I see you have google ad's you may be better off just selling ad space to people..
you could charge say $20 - $25 for the top banner per month, and have text links down the bottom of the site for say $5? im sure there would be alot of people who would buy these, and you would know how much you are going to get because you set the prices.

Yeah i guess so,but i think i got to wait till i get at least a months worth of stats, to prove its steady traffic
