    You can put Adsense there, I don't see why you shouldn't.

    Add adsense to your forum, most forum members do not have a problem with this, make sure that you use the search and link units, they work well on forums.

    Why not? 8,339 impresions 106 clicks is about 1.5% CTR. It is consider normal, not low. However, you can just play around with your ads placement to find the best CTR

    Also, try shifting the ad unit locations from time to time to prevent Ad blindness on your forum. Concentrated forum content plus the right Ad camouflage will get the click rate up naturally.

    Forums have much lower click through rates than blogs. What most forums do is to mix affiliate ads in with the blogs. If the affiliate ads are relevant to your forum's niche you can do quite well from them.

    Alternatively you could consider adding Kontera.
