Its very difficult for a warez site to make money but its not impossible

Their are quite a few imagehosts that will pay you for views which i think would be good for a tv-show related site just thumb a screen cap then they can view it if they want and the ads are not really on your site so it generally dont piss people off

There are hundreds of other warez sites around which people would rather go to which have no protection on links and have virtually no ad's. People are a lot more internet savvy than they used to be, they know what to avoid. What makes you think people with use your website instead?

Things have changed now. My advice is to spend your time, effort and money on a legitimate website which actually will have future prospects.

yes i have been reading from the section, actually from the whole forum, the amount of new things i learned is amazing, KWWHunction is a really good resource.

Image hosts paying for webmaster is a new information for me, i'll research more on it....

Actually i'm aiming for what you said, i'm aiming for the visitors who will avoid other annoying website and come for a better, cleaner experience in my website.

My target audience are Arab and my website is in Arabic (Majority suck in English), and its a little bit different from English website, especially in the advertisement culture.

its a living hell for users, you will get 1 pop-under every page view, and an i-frame, and three flash banners and dont mention what kind of ads on the website that will open in the pop-under. My aim is to get those poor users to my website by providing a clean experience.

The problem is that i can't do that without a proper income, thats the reason i opened the thread, i want to know what options are available.

Ah I see.

Again, its going to be an up-hill struggle since you're thinking about making a warez site. It will depend on how popular warez is in arab countries and how good you are at getting people to visit your website. Theres only a few options when it comes to making money..

Find out what file hosts are most popular in the target country, and if they pay per download. The only way you'll be able to earn from hosts is by using the top 2-3 filehosts only and make the links easily accessible.

Find an image host which would pay the most per image view, try to get your visitors to click on images by putting up a sign. "click to enlarge" which will lead to the image host - and you'll get paid per view.

Not sure about other ways right now apart from link protection which is a pain in the arse and will make you loose visitors.

Yeah, actually arabs tend to visit warez websites "a lot", the size of the audience for such websites is almost "all arab" .... Getting them will be a challenge to be honest, the reasons and factors that helped my website 3 years ago aren't viable today but i'm going to provide something new that should attract new users and make my current users visit more.... and i do have some social tricks to i'm optimistic from this side .

About the file hosts i'm searching for the most used, but Arabs usually like MediaFire i will see the other options & the same for image host though i'm not too sure about that approach.

about the link protection actually i think i got a pretty good idea, what i can do is program a protection script that have two options
1- "if" the user came from my website, he will be directly directed to the protected link with no hassle or waiting at all.
2- "if" the user came from somewhere else he will be shown some advertisement (nothing too aggressive) & will be invited to the orignal content (a link to the tv show thread www.example.com/tvshow/season1/episode2 not www.example.com) with a promise of good, clean and smooth experience that can't be found anywhere else.

this way i get to make some money, while trying to invite them to visit my website.

Not bad idea because if your website is only in arab i think that you'll haven't a lot of competency.

Hello,

I know i'm being selfish just registered and i'm already taking advantage of the community.

Anyway, i own a website that specialise in TV-Show downloads i'm already blocked from Adsense. My website been in the internet for 6 Years), i worked hard on it till i was able to make it reach 20k daily, but i got busy with other projects, its been two years since then i screwed everything, the website fell from 20k to 5k daily visitors, and if not for Google and the good SEO work on the website i'll be having around 1.5k.

I'm going to make a huge developments (aiming for the 20k in 6 - 12 months) but still things aren't bright on the income area, so guys what are my options? (the website language isn't English).

What i'm seeing these days people shortlinking there links for website like adf.ly or hosting there own shortlinking services and putting ads till the timer is done.....

i'm open to consider any wild ideas....

Honey they are laughing at you because you have not read all the threads/posts on what is happening with SOPA/PIPA & CISPA,,,,,, if you had you would most certainly not have started this thread to beg for money for your warez site.

I own sites, other than warez, and I would never start a thread on any other site to ask for money or the means to get it,,,,even though I am in financial hardship right now, I keep my sites going by my ccard.

When I get really desperate then I appeal in my signature and my members are loyal and usually step in and help me pay my site's bills.

Warez is not free as some think, there are bills to pay not only by site owners..

I wish you luck with your site though, in these risky days you will certainly need it.

"Begging" thats a little bit harsh, i'm not begging, money will not be an issue for the first stage but things will change pretty fast, if i'm not prepared it will cause problems (servers aren't cheap, i'm not in a shared host).

I just wanted to know my "options" to make the best use of them, i'm already familiar with the Arab culture for making money, i wanted to know how owners of English website make money to see if i can use the same approach.

Not bad idea because if your website is only in arab i think that you'll haven't a lot of competency.

Not entirely true, Arab actually use warez a lot so there is a fierce competition, actually our problem is that every one is doing warez while ignoring website that actually benefit the user.

Thanks i guess.

you can use banner ads instead of interstitial for adfly or adfoc or similar url shortner
Less trouble for a user and pays as well
