I think the expected rate is about $6 /1000 impressions for ad based stuff

Where in the world did you pull a $6 CPM value from?

Agreed, thats a very high CPM rate. He even states that of the 2M page views only $4000 is generated from ads.

You can always try adding some type of affiliate plan to your page that has a product relative to your content.

When I was doing ad based revenue on my apps one thing we did was play around with different advertising providers. Play around with the audience who could view the ads. Placement, etc. Take a day or two and play with the ads to see which gives you the best result. Whichever placement, rotation, etc. gives you the better result is obviously the better long term choice revenue wise.

I'd like to know which site this is, seeing it always helps. I don't understand why most people ask questions but don't provide their website.

simple

1. hide identity: they don't want people to find out who they are

2. avoid competition: they don't want others to copy their business

I own a website that gets 15% of your pageviews but I'm having trouble finding any advertisers. The website is on BuySellAds but isn't getting any bites despite a highly educated niche audience.

Does anyone have any tips for finding advertisers? You can easily find the website by going to the domain of my email address or my submission history.

Why don't you sell the templates on your site?

Mostly because they don't want to be considered spammers
