Tip for forums

I experimented yesterday by placing ads before the first post, under the topic title, and today when I checked my account I noticed that my CTR went up by over 300%! So if any of you want to try it out and see how it works, go ahead.
I only made the ads viewable by Guests though, and left it the same for Members, so I probably could've made even more if I left it open to everyone.

Cheers

 

Any screenshot of the exact placement? and btw, which forum type u use? phpbb, vbulletin, IBP??

 

I use IPB. It's just right under the topic title and before the first post.

 

Anyone care to take a look at my forum? I think the ads are placed quite well and I have seen a steady stream of visitors but my adsense performance there is not so good compared to the main site

I have seen similar placements like this in other forums a while ago but not sure if it violates the TOS or not. Could be listed as misdirection.

 

This sounds very interesting, can you please give us a link or show us a screenshot?

 

Link is in my sig.
