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?

I do have eventual plans to make a "Premium Templates" section but I need to find a graphics designer and LaTeX pro who are willing to work for a percentage of sales to make this a reality. The rest of the templates are not made by me so I have no right to sell them.

Have you tried Adsense?

Yes, adsense generates virtually nothing. I had it up for about 6 months and it generated ~$70 or so. The site does get a lot more traffic now but regardless, it seems like I would receive far more income from something like BuySellAds.

Sounds like you have something very wrong going on there. I have one incredibly crappy site with 5k uniques/month that is bringing in more than that.

I'm no expert, but if you'd like me to take a look, ping me on email.
