Forums are the worst? LOL Look at DIGITALPOINT"S adsense ontop, I wonder JUST Wonder how much $$$ there Making!
The niche is the worst for adsense. Forums are the worst kind of sites for CTR, lots of impressions, many repeat users, etc. But yes, successful forums earn a lot of money, as do successful websites, I can't see your point.
Its enough to make $300-400 at in a low paying niche, doesnt that count as hundreds? And I strongly agree that forums really do have abysmal CTRs, especially forums full of geeks. I have one myself My highest paying site is still subsidising all the low paying ones.
Also, this is a different kind of forum, there's a high user turnover, its full of people wanting to make adsense money, the ads are full of dubious schemes to get backlinks and so forth that your average amateur SEO is going to be interested in, I'd say this particular forum has a comparatively high CTR.
Purchasing all tld would be good but can you afford this??? If yes then buy them and make redirection to your main domain. You can earn good amount of money using adsense if your site having good, updated and unique content and also if having good amount of visitors/day. But be careful with driving visitors to your site, don't use black hat techniques otherwise you will pay for this always use genuine way for driving traffic.
You can make a boat load of money using Adsense. My record is $415 in one day with a single adsense sites (the average day was about $250-300). Keep in mind that this site was specifically built to earn money via Adsense and was not monetized in any other way. Now, with that being said, you would not want to place adsense ads on an e-commerce site, because you want people to buy your products and not click on a competitors ad and purchase their products.
I disagree. 4000 visitors a day is a great start = 120,000 a month. Typically worth at least 10cents each or $12,000 a month Check on ranking sites such as quantcast or mydnstats and you will see not many sites are anywhere near as good as that. The value of those visitors is something else - if they are 'tyre kickers' not interested in buying your games - then go with Adsense, where it costs them nothing to click. If you are lucky enough to get even 5% (optimistic) of clicks at 20cents a click that might bring you in the princely sum of $40 a day or $1200 a month. Unfortunately if your visitors aren't buyers you are likely to find Google will start sending you 50cent clicks but then drop them to 5 cent clicks - because at the end of the day unless you have buyers there's no money to share around long term. If you accept that you need buyers to make money directly, then selling affiliate products, such as games should be much more profitable thatn Adsense. Just don't mix Adsense with other offers - that's the worst of all worlds. Another alternative is to create your own list. Sooner or later - even poor gamers have money to spend. A good squeeze page converting at 25% would bring you in 3000 people a month! Typically worth $3,000 each month and growing!

dont waste too much time.. just start it and keep testing and trying. I have been trying for the past few months and results are slow but earnings are bit steady now. And yes, you can earn money from Adsense, whether its forum or site if you can get the traffic consistently.
Incredible, people still recommend "submitting to search engines". DO NOT submit to "major search engines", build a few links instead and enjoy the same effect... Just better...
Obviously there are exceptions. Digitalpoint is probably the largest forum related to SEO and Webmaster topics. If you have high enough traffic then the layout of your site doesn't really matter, you're going to be making money either way because of the sheer volume of people coming through it. Also, SEO isn't exactly a low paying keyword so DP can probably afford not to have the highest CTR ever.
for sure you can make lot of money with AdSense.... In order to get Google approve your AdSense account your site need good unique quality content...if not Google will reject it... once your site is ready......you must drive traffic to your site...because they will click your ads....Search Engines is the best source of traffic...
