These are the strategies I’m using successfully to make some extra money. Hopefully, you’ll be able to spawn other ideas from this list as well.

Keep in mind that StumbleUpon traffic is awesome when you manipulate it correctly. Many office workers are surfing SU while at work, Stay at home Moms/Dads, etc (in other words, more people with money to spend). It’s not anything like MySpace traffic. StumbleUpon now has over 1,000,000.00 users.

1. Create A Top # List.

Read some of the popular Digg.com posts or popular blog posts and you’ll see plenty of “Top” lists. People love reading lists for some reason. For example, you can create a Top 30 list of the coolest games online and stick it into a gaming category. People love to discover new games to play online.
Of course this page should be full of your Adsense ads and/or CPA offers. Ideas for lists: http://www.listible.com/

2. Create A Video Page.

I’m sure you’re thinking “Hey, isn’t that what YouTube is for?” the answer is yes and no. YouTube is massive, but weeding through all the videos can be time
consuming. I found that by spending a bit of time searching for videos on a certain topic and embedding them into my site, I could make some money from
Adsense.

For example, you can setup a page that had videos about the new video game systems (Sony PS3, Nintendo Wii). You can get dozens of videos that captured
people fighting each other while standing in line for the system, etc. CPA ads work wonders with this as well.

3. Put Up An Arcade

Online games are popular with almost all Internet users. I myself spend and hour or so each day playing arcade and puzzle games online. To setup an
online arcade, you can purchase an arcade script complete with games already loaded. Scripts for this purpose:

http://www.gamescript.net/
http://www.shockscript.com/
http://www.phparcadescript.com
All of the above sites make it easy to add your Adsense/YPN code. If you want to add more games, this site has a game pack for sale:

Also, http://www.sitepoint.com/marketplace/ has arcade sites for sale all the time. Some of these sites will even have traffic already being sent to them.
