I have a site that's been around just over a year and a half now. Content is mostly tech news, software and OS reviews, tips and some downloads. I spent the first few months throwing money at it, getting really nice custom design, paying for quality custom-written content etc.

Today the site gets around 45k uniques per day with over 700k pageviews (forums included). Posts get loads of comments and forums are very active with 30k members (after a recent inactive member/spammer purge). Honestly, I don't make shit from the site. It covers its expenses and that's about it. Most of the income is from paid plugs and prepaid ad spots. I've tried adsense but didn't make enough to justify cluttering up the content pages and forums with adsense blocks.

I've tried numerous affiliate programs and bombed out on every one. How can I make money off tech savvy people?
