    Hey, does anyone here have a forum or website with a lot of traffic from college age kids?

    I'm interested in advertising ....

    Just contact forum owners direct.

    Lots of forum owners are not actually business people, don't realise the worth of the traffic.

    Sometimes you can find one that will accept exclusive advertizing on their forum for a couple of hundred a month.

    Been doing it for years.....:D

    Why not try facebook.com PPC. I am sure a very big portion of their users are college students.

    CollegeHumor.com and other humor/funny video sites are visited by students.

    As mentioned above, facebook as well as myspace should be looked at

    I target facebook heavily when it comes to getting college-aged kids. I think you're talking about paying for advertisements, but I'd also recommend a more grassroots approach. If you sign up as an attractive female, you'll find it easy to accumulate a ton of friends. Post on walls related to the city you're from (or say you're from). If your posts are informational, you'll get friend requests pretty frequently.

    Groups are also extremely useful because you can join groups to pre-target your niche. Don't spam, but try to work in whatever you're advertising into your posts. It's a great way to get people to see your site.

    Social media is the best, I have heard they don't check email but communicate via social media.

    you could target students through facebook. i'm not talking about their crappy PPC system but you could create a group and have friends invite their friends to join. remember if you do this you will need to keep your group up to date and fresh :)

    I would use Facebook, it generates a lot of traffic from college kids and it's fairly cheap as well.

    Simple just type kids or college forums in the Google search engine and you will find numbers of websites. ;)

    I can offer you traffic from several domains that might interest you.

    StudentGrants.com
    PhoenixUniversity.com


    These domains gets 1000's of hits a month, type-in traffic.

    If you like I can provide you with a larger list, I've got plenty of US university/school domains.
