I'm running a shit ass ugly blog on buso's theme. It's ugly because I can't design sites, period.
final thought before posting:
this became somewhat of a rant.
edit after post:
I need to add content, get more traffic, more comments, improve design etc. Traffic is obviously not huge enough to make reliable conclusions.
edit2 after post:
my site is too broad, it's really not "niched".books, clothes and all so fucking things go on it.
The root domain is monetized by amazon(already approved) (100%) atm, I want to include ebay(already approved) and ensy as well. Affiliate widow put me on hold until my site got "content" a month ago.
I've barely made $30 something dollars in September with amazon.
tldr
I suck at monetization and site's design's crap. Root converts(visitor clicks to amazon) at around 5-10% from visitors.
Best converters are reddit, facebook(little traffic) and disqus comments on a game post.
Root domain is monetized by manual posts and amazon, and daily traffic sucks at 20-30 visits and 2-3 clicks to amazon(according to piwik).
Rooot plus rss subdomain's traffic over the last month:

Root's traffic:

I've made 3 subdomains on the same server and on the same domain, 2 of them are feeding amazon product feeds(barely any traffic, all traffic from google. There aren't worth mentioning) and the last one scrapes 14 news and viral sites rss feeds.
The root domain has 155 posts since July, that I've written alone. Some of them are short book posts that nobody gives a shit about, but a few of them look nice on google serps. Yes, it feels useless writing these. The books are from the NYT best sellers list, but I don't get traffic for these and don't leak anywhere. Goodreads, amazon and barnesandnoble are major domains in books.
My 2 best money making posts were that I submitted to multiple times to reddit and got a few thousand visitors from.
Other than that, some of my visitors come from search engines, a few come from comments, disqus comments and "direct" visitors. Piwik is crap at picking up referrers. When I submitted to reddit, most of the traffic were picked up as direct.
1 post was about mobiles(lots of mobile traffic) and the other one was about games. Obviously, the mobile submission was performed a lot better. Gamers only complained, lol.
RSS Autoblog
Traffic, more than 95% google:

Device type, more than half mobile, more ios than android:

What I need help is my rss autoblog which will have more traffic/already has more traffic that the root domain.
I tried amazon's adsystem on posts just below title and below content to show what I thought news seeking people would be interested in, but they fucking ignore it. I'll change the products I show ads for, because the first batch clearly doesn't get any attention.
I've implemented amazon adsystem on all search pages where the search keywords get passed as keywords to amazon and amazon in return shows stuff according to the search. It's pretty neat, but not too many people search on my sites because of lack of traffic.
I was thinking of ditching amazon's adsystem on the rss subdomain in return for banner ads. But I don't want adsense. My second thoughts would be looking at what buzzfeed and other viral sites do and research how they monetize.
What would the best way to monetise such people?
Some stuff I've picked from buzzfeed:
