Unable to monetize large email traffic - Any advice?

[shoval]

I have a domain that is good typo of a major free mail ( such as hotmail ....). It gets over 20,000 visits a month, but so far I haven't been able to monetize it. Tried parking and also some affiliates, but almost no clicks/revenue, as visitors look for just logging in to their email.
any idea for affiliate that might work?

Here are 2 different ideas you can try out :

#1. You could make a landing page listing various Paid email services, as I am sure some of them have affiliate programs.

Make the landing page have a kick butt article that makes the visitor learn how free email can be dangerous to use, and how a paid service would work better. A decent copywriter would be able to do this and capture them with the headline and go from there.

Here is a Google sponsored search where you can check these and see who offers any affiliate program :

email service - Google Search


#2. With the amount of visits you get I would say serve popups that pay CPM.

Or another CPM ad option, such as Chitika.

With a little bit of testing these options I think you should be able to see some revenue coming in.

Good Luck !

Serving pop-ups is a good option as long as you are sure that it wont irritate your visitors. I think for a site like yours, image ads will work as they're attractive and get attention easily as compared to contextual ads. Have you ever tried to serve image ads on your site?
