Making Money with Racist Jokes article update October 2014. I own a popular Funny Jokes site and in the past made money from it using AdSense. Unfortunately Google AdSense doesn’t like the racist jokes on the site and has blocked the domain from showing AdSense ads (AdSense banned)! Was AdSense banned due to the racist comments on the Mexican jokes page. Update 2014: Chikita doesn’t like racist jokes either, the joke site is Chitika banned as well! Currently running Amazon ads, let’s see how long they last. It’s a very sad fact that some of the most popular jokes SERPs are racist jokes SERPS like Black Jokes, White Jokes, Mexican Jokes etc… Before adding racist jokes as an SEO test […]

Make Money from an iPhone Jokes App
That’s some serious traffic you have David and I’m not sure if you’ve considered any of the following.
1. With such a massive audience I’d pay to have a simple iPhones App created that has the Top 100 jokes. You could do this for several categories. And charge $1 per download or 50c. Might be cheap enough to encourage $20-$30/day or more ;o)
2. Or another option is to encourage people to have a tee-shirt printed with a funny joke. You could get the top 5 jokes from each category and use a service like cafepress.com or fibres.com to let people buy the T-shirt.
3. Another option is to put together a Free PDF with the top 100 Jokes. And within the PDF have a few affiliate links to some of the online Joke Shops.
Some food for thought.

Make Money from Dating Ads
I hear ya… I have the same issue. I have a similar (kinda) maybe a bit more offensive site that gets almost 1 million page views monthly. Been very hard to make money on. Clicksor did not work due to viruses and malware and everything else had horrid ctr. The only thing that seems to work is sex and dating (generates a few hundred on a small ad).
Guess people looking for tasteless stuff are alone… go figure. I kinda gave up on ever making great money off it. My more mainstream sites make thousands monthly off a fraction of the traffic.
The other thing that would work is the schemes and scams, penny auctions, work at home, etc. I will not use those because I like to sleep at night, but others have no issue and it does work with that type of traffic. Also try lead gen. Add a email squeeze as a flash ad or HTML of some kind. Those actually do well when you offer up something they want in the end and you can sell the leads, have them go to a affiliate program or use them yourself to promote other sites.
What I know for a fact is that products do not work well. That type of traffic does not want to spend any money so look for “free” offers, surveys, what not. CJ, Clickbank, etc. have tons.
I left you my CORRECT email, if you ever wanna trade ideas or links… let me know
my 2 cents

Making Money from Search Engine Traffic
My funny jokes site is now breaking 15,000 unique visitors a day, so time I did something to make some money from the site (10K visitors a day wasn’t enough to get me moving apparently :-)).
Interestingly the top traffic SERP is now Funny Jokes, not bad for number 5 in Google for that SERP (that’s a lot of traffic for that SERP to do well at number 5).
I’ve found a pranks product affiliate that offers a reasonable % and a datafeed, plan to use the datafeed to create my own ad system that runs as a replacement to the ad system I’ve added to my WordPress theme (replace AdSense/Clickbank).
Basically will generate ads with X number of products on the sidebar and a single product on the main content ad unit, will have a small thumbnail of each product and excerpt type description (maybe just the title of the product + price) all linking to the affiliate sales page.
Was going to use a random quotes script as a starting point, but all the ones I’ve downloaded (half a dozen) aren’t working in PHP 5! Come to think of it, why didn’t I just search for a PHP script that serves ads :-) I was also looking for a quotes script to add an automated joke a day section to the site, looks like I got caught up on one solution for both problems!

Affiliate Random Ad Rotating WordPress Plugin
An Affiliate Random Ad Rotating WordPress Plugin is now running on my funny jokes site
It was surprisingly difficult to find a WordPress plugin that could be used to rotate ads via a MYSQL database (didn’t want to use text files). I tried over a dozen scripts (not all WordPress plugins) and none of them came close to what I wanted!!!
Eventually found a WordPress plugin called “Nice Quotes Rotator” which was created to add rotating quotes to WordPress blogs, it was apparently inspired by the Hello Dolly plugin that comes with WordPress by default.
Since I was looking to create an affiliate random ad rotating plugin for the jokes site it needed a fair amount of code changes.
After editing the plugin to work as I wanted, downloaded a CSV format Shareasale datafeed that was for an affiliate that offers stupid prank gifts.
Downloaded and partially renamed the images (for SEO reasons) associated with the datafeed, using MS Excel took the name of each product and added Stupid Prank Gifts to the end of it (for SEO and marketing reasons).
Used some nifty javascript/CSS coding so the affiliate links won’t be recognised by Google etc… as links (mo wasted PR/link benefit), but Google can still get to the name of the product and the image that’s uploaded onto my server so potential to gain some prank related SERPs.
Edited my Talian 05 theme (that was pretty easy to do) to use a WordPress shortcode for the new plugin to generate several ads: what you see when you visit the jokes site.
Pretty cool result if I do say so myself :-)
Will be interesting to see how much money it makes, before today had Chitika ads running on the site and their performance was RUBBISH: last 30 days just $76.69 from 1,087,247 impressions (I think Chitika reports an impression each ad loaded, I had two ad units per page so that’s from half a million page loads!).
If I can’t make more than $76 a month from half a million page loads linked to an affiliate I give up!

Hey Dave,
How’s your Chitika revenue doing now. I had a look at your joke site and see it is all Chitika now. Just wondering, I too was kicked out of adsense.
