Monetization, Affiliate Program | featured news

As you could probably tell by my latest entries, I've been spending the last couple weeks finding different ways to monetize the site. Wopular has about 400k-500k unique visitors per month, according to Google Analytics. That's a decent amount of users. It's about time I stopped coding new features and started earning. There's a certain challenge with monetizing an aggregation site, but I'm not gonna talk in depth about it here. I'll save that for another article. Mainly, it's that the average user only views a couple pages, compare to several with the average content site.

I watched Roger Ebert's interview on Oprah the other day where he revealed his new computerized voice put together by processing audio commentaries he did for DVDs. I went to his blog to see if he had anything to add, like he did for the Esquire article. Instead of a reaction entry, I got an entry inviting me to join The Ebert Club, which cost $4.99 for the year for some value-added services.
