MenuI'm looking for suggestions about the monetization of thinkmobiles.com.

With that kind of traffic, it shouldn't be hard to monetize, but the real question is coming up with the most effective strategy.
Without knowing much about the business or having access to any analytics, here are a few recommendations off the top of my head:
- add affiliate links to apps & software links
- sell premium ad space
- sell services to help customers select software/apps
- sell services to setup various software
- setup automated email campaigns
- offer courses
There are certainly other ways you could monetize your site. One thing to keep in mind is you want to focus on the CLTV (customer lifetime value). Rather than looking for quick wins, think about the big picture and how you can really help your customers in the long run.
By providing value, you'll build trust and your customers and clients will be much more willing to pay for added services.
First, get some mobile offers from an affiliate network. Get CPL based deals where the network won't mind the slow steady traffic of residual sales from your blog. Second, use that subscriber list for the same offers, but mind that not all networks allow display AND email traffic to the same creatives for link set.
Given the information shared, there are a lot of ideas that can be explored. Below are some:
1) Pitch relevant blog advertising to IT service providers and software sellers. 200k monthly views is a good number.
2) Pitch top spots to IT service providers and software sellers in relevant category pages.
3) Since you have a lot of informative content, push the same through email marketing will work. Brand promotion can be made part of the email marketing
There are many other advertising driven monetization options can be explored without spoiling the user experience. Let's talk on phone or email (varun@upreports.com) to dig deeper.

A StartUp is looking into setting up an affiliate marketing platform, I believe the setup is different to the industry standard. Any insights please?
So this model has been attempted before in various formats. As a direct comparison, 3-4 years back there was a company called WidgetBox. They were a startup. Successful in getting funding. Raised at least $8 million. Their changed up their model a few times but their most successful one was nearly identical to what you described. They went directly to various advertisers on a CPA basis and then guaranteed publishers a set CPM based on the agreed CPA with the merchants. Got as high as doing 500 million impressions a month. But they didn't appropriately account for fraud, had to back out on payouts, ended up nearly folding. They were able to pivot and be absorbed into Flite. A less direct comparison of your scenario is very common. Many affiliates these days operate what is considered a sub-network (against the rules of most larger affiliate networks) or a super-affiliate program. Examples are the dozens of loyalty affiliates out there like Upromise who also have their own affiliates (as well as members tracked on sub-ids) underneath them. Being the advertiser's "sole" affiliate is partially where I don't see the model you describe work. Unless your advertisers are completely unfamiliar with the digital space they are unlikely to only work with one company as their sole affiliates. Advertisers like to scale. It's why they work with networks. What ever you decide, Post Affiliate Pro does not have a robust enough of a platform for you to launch with. Beyond that the software's ability to help detect fraud is suspect. HasOffers (know called Tune) is a way better choice. Also recommend looking at Performance Horizon Group. Either way, highly recommend rethinking the "exclusivity" or "sole" component of your model and asking yourself why an advertiser would just go with you?AD

Will redesigning a website (ground up) ruin the search ranking of a site?
TL;DR -> Yes you will risk it if you don't perform a proper audit and migration from the original platform. Any type of architecture changes can 100% ruin your SEO if you are not migrating content and topics correctly. Many people assume this is limited to URI structure but underestimate the power of Topical hierarchy and the content, internal linking and URI structure which play a crucial role into any migration effort. If you have any questions about the migration process, give me a shout. Decent free migration checklist: https://searchengineland.com/site-migration-seo-checklist-dont-lose-traffic-286880TM
