Websites with High Traffic but No Ad Revenue

Websites with High Traffic but No Ad Revenue

If you’re searching for an incredible opportunity in digital advertising, look no further. This list features websites with significant traffic but are currently not monetizing through ads. These businesses are ripe for consulting, helping them turn their visitor numbers into revenue.

How did we find these websites? Using our proprietary database, we identified high-traffic websites that lack technologies typically associated with ad monetization, such as Google AdSense or programmatic networks. For transparency, you can view the advertising technologies we track on our data page, click "Advertising Networks" at the bottom.

Why this matters: Websites that fail to monetize traffic are missing out on substantial revenue streams. By offering your expertise in ad integration and optimization, you can provide a win-win solution: businesses start generating revenue, and you build a solid consulting pipeline.

Below is a sample SQL query used to identify these websites:

SELECT DISTINCT dn 
FROM (
      SELECT dn 
      FROM (
          SELECT DISTINCT dn 
          FROM domain_names 
          INNER JOIN domains_technologies ON domain_names.dn_id = domains_technologies.dn_id 
          INNER JOIN technologies ON domains_technologies.tech_id = technologies.tech_id 
          INNER JOIN domains_languages ON domain_names.dn_id = domains_languages.dn_id 
          WHERE `rank` > 0 AND `rank` <= 1000000 
            AND dn <> '' 
            AND dn NOT LIKE '%.%.%' 
            /* Filter for US-centric domains */
            AND dn NOT REGEXP '\.(fr|de|it|es|in|ca|uk|ru|pl|be|nl|ch|se|dk|no|fi|cz|pt|za|ng|ke|gh|br|ar|cl|mx|nz|jp|kr|cn|hk|sg|my|sk|at|be|bg|hr|cy|ee|lt|lv|lu|mt|ro|si|sk|rs|ua|by|ge|am|az|kw|ae|sa|qa|bh|om|pk|id|th|ph|vn|tw|org|edu|gov|mil|int|ac|coop|museum|eu|church|faith|bible|ong|gives|charity|foundation)$' 
            /* English-speaking websites */
            AND domains_languages.language_code = 'en' 
            AND domains_languages.language_percent >= 80.0 
          LIMIT 100
      ) AS temp_table
) AS my_custom_table 
/* Exclude websites using advertising networks */
WHERE dn NOT IN (
    SELECT DISTINCT domain_names.dn 
    FROM domain_names 
    INNER JOIN domains_technologies ON domain_names.dn_id = domains_technologies.dn_id 
    INNER JOIN technologies ON domains_technologies.tech_id = technologies.tech_id 
    WHERE technologies.category = 'Advertising Networks'
) LIMIT 15;

Note: While this query does a great job of filtering, it is not perfect. Some websites may already be generating ad revenue but using networks that we don’t yet track. Always validate the leads before reaching out.

Here’s a sample email template to kickstart your outreach:

Hi [Name], I came across your website [domain] and noticed its strong traffic numbers. However, I couldn’t find evidence of ad monetization. 

Would you like a free consultation on how to integrate ads and start generating revenue? It’s easier than you think, and I’d be happy to walk you through the process.

Best, [Your Name]

To refine your targeting, you can tweak the base query to focus on specific niches or platforms. For example, high-traffic blogs, forums, or eCommerce websites could be filtered further based on specific criteria.

Pro Tip: Combine this approach with outreach automation tools like Lemlist to scale your efforts effectively. Over time, you can build a portfolio of success stories, reinforcing your expertise in ad consulting.
