Ask HN: How to monetize 5 million+ pageview Twitter widget?
A couple years ago I created a Twitter-related widget in javascript that people could embed on their websites. I did it for fun, just to see what would happen.
Now, the widget is installed on thousands of websites and gets over 5 million pageviews (from over 1 million visitors) per month. It is not monetized at all, and it is just leaking bandwidth from my server. I can't afford to just let this run out of my pocket for much longer.
So, how could I make some money with this? The widget is part of a larger Twitter-related site (which gets a tiny bit of ad revenue), but most of the traffic/cost comes through the widget.
Any ideas would be most welcome. (posted from throwaway account)
