    If you really want to increase traffic to your forum then you need to invest in content. Offer members some great relevant information - break this into pieces that you release once a week. Interview experts or pro gamers and release YT video. Run a contest with a cool prize. Just some ideas for you.

    Best wishes in your efforts.

    You can sell banners on your site. Where does the most traffic come from?

    I read somewhere that forums "are dead" but there are tons of forums out there that gets lots of traffic and most of them have adsense and sell ad space.
    I always wanted to start a forum on some of my favorite hobbies but there are already well established forums for my niches so i never bothered.

    But one thing that may help you get some more members is this app called Tapatalk. It's a forum reader app for iOS and Android I use it on my iPad and iPhone and have discovered lots of new forums that i read nightly with the app. I'm pretty sure it is free to install on your forum but since i don't own a forum I don't know for sure. I do know that I am a user and it keeps me coming back to the forums i read in a quick and easy way.

    You can sell the links to other gaming sites and forums. And, of course, you should use ad banners.

    The best way to earn is use Google Adsense and when your site grows above a 1000 visitors per day, use buysellads. Also, reserve a banner ad space for selling ads at fixed rate per month.

    1. Join AdSense program and make money from Google;
    2. Design an Advertisement segment on your website where you can sell ads or rent it to a third party;
    3. Sell part of your content to your user after your site is popular and helpful enough;
    4. Work with your vendor (e.g.: your gaming developers) to get sales bonus from them if possible.
