Great post and useful tips, some of which I hope to use for my own geo sites.

I have 30 city and region exact .coms for Peru and a further 100 which aren’t the exact .com. Cities and regions ranging from 10,000 population up to 600,000.

I have been monetizing with adsense, but am getting a meagre $350 to $400 a month in total (primarily Spanish language sites).

I’m seeing opportunities to get considerably more by selling banner advertising and links to local businesses, especially hotels But it takes more time, effort and organisation and frustration!

@Rob

Thx… direct advertisers are for the monetization post.

Videos are great for a few reasons.
