    online simpsons site affiliate suggestion

    Hello, about 3 months ago i started making this site. Simpsons Episodes | Watch The Simpsons Online and For Free .

    I am now about 60% done with the site and I am ready to start an affiliate program. I get about 500 uniques a day which is mostly all organic. A steady 12.5% stay 1 hour+, many staying several hours at a time. Right now it has no advertisements or affiliate programs at all.


    Does anyone have any suggestions about what would work best for this site.

    EDIT (April 2nd):
    I installed a program called cpalead. This protects a portion of my site i choose and require users to complete 1 survey in order to view the episodes. I in return get paid 1-3 USD per survey completed. So far its working pretty good. Im looking to make at least 500 from it this month.

    I will tell you how it turns out.

    Entertainment Earth.
    Has a crapload of Simpsons merchandise that ISN'T the DVDs (why would people buy the DVDs when they just watched it streaming, right?)
    You'll need to hunt around on the site for their affiliate program as it's not immediately obvious. It pay out 7%-15%, depending on how much you manage to push in terms of sales

    Generally you don't want to force your users to complete a survey before using your services. this is really counter-productive because they can simply go elsewhere without having to complete a survey.You could try amazon.com's affiliate program, i hear it's "pretty" good.

    It is a very nice website and i think you have done great on it. Good work

    I used to run a website that streamed episodes of dollhouse, house, gossip girl, and grey's anatomy to name a few.
    I made some good money on advertising but found it to cause me to neglect my studies for school, so I dropped it. Otherwise I would still be doing it. TV streaming has some amazing opportunities for advertising. Here are some recommendations:

    Surveys: I noticed you already have it, and I strongly recommend it.

    Graboid: (graboid.com) Graboid is a program that lets you download and stream lots of movies and tv shows. Every person who downloads the software and signs up for the trial (no credit card needed for trial) will earn you 70 cents if I remember correctly.

    Google Ads: Strategically placing text ads on your site so they blend in well will bring in a nice amount of cash

    Zango: My favorite. I HIGHLY recommend Zango. When they go to your site they have to download a toolbar to let them view the content. For every toolbar downloaded, you get 75 cents if its in the U.S. Other countries vary from 0 cents to 75 cents. I made most of my money from this.
    Link for using Zango: Click Here

    I found combining surveys, zango, and graboid to be very affective. On every video I posted I stated under it that it was also available on graboid for free.

    Best of luck to you. Let me know if you have any questions I could help you with.

    Put a Zango toolbar on your website that requires your traffic to download in order to view your content. You earn up to $1.45 for each download!
    Click here to start using Zango. Best online advertising, hands down.



    Done everything ranging from owning an outsourced website design business to selling race horses for tens of thousands of dollars.

    Currently in college, on my path to get a BBA specializing in marketing.

    Allposters.com has a good affiliate program, they pay 25%. They will have Simpsons posters and T-shirts. They also have a super easy to use link/dynamic store builder, here is an example:

    cpalead sucks, go with Dollarade ( dollarade.com )

    their gateway only covers the video content, it's based in flash so they have an animation of curtains closing which is much more aesthetically pleasing; and on top of it all they have an option to make your gateway pop up when the visitor has clicked on the video.

    this way the visitor knows that you have the video on your site, and if they're likely to click on the video they are more likely to want to watch it which gives them more incentive to fill out a survey
