"cracks" traffic

[madcamel]

So I have this domains getting 3K uniques per day.
It used to be a cracks \ Warez popular website.
Currently is making ~ 10 RPM by using DS.

Any ideas on how to monetize it better ?

Thanks in advance,
Idan

Sign up for an affiliate program yourself. In the long run, you'll make more money then doing PPC. You have to consider the fact that the people landing at the domains are looking for ways to NOT pay for their software. They aren't valuable traffic.

I make my domains redirect through an affiliate program, specifically the sites found at www.affiliationcash.com. I've had good results.

Thanks,
I thought about affiliate programs, but for what products ?
Anyone familiar with affiliate programs that pay for every shareware download ?

The ones at affiliationcash get visitors to sign up and pay for 'exclusive access' which is really just information on where they can go. Usually just other free sites. I've never paid myself so not positive.

If you can get 13.00 to 29.00 as a commission, you won't be doing bad at all with even one sale a day, especially because torrent/crack traffic doesn't have much value.

You might want to consider a usenet related site. Usenet is a popular place for people to download these types of things. There are a number of usenet related affiliate programs, many of which pay recurring payouts.

That should pay out better than what you're currently getting.

RPM $10 is VERY good for this type of traffic.
