Would adsense be as effective on a forum as it would be on a blog? Im new to the program and am just trying to get a basic idea of what kind of site im going to make. Ive made forums in the past but what kind of sites actually make money off adsense? How are people making hundreds a month off the program? Thanks.
I don't think Adsense is a got way to monetize a forum. You will probably not get as many clicks as you would on a blog or website. The best way to make money with Adsense is by creating a quality content site.
Agreed. You should use Adsense to monetize a website that has quality content and traffic. So work on the website first and then add Adsense once you have some decent content and traffic. Don't just build a site as an excuse to use Adsense.
Oh ok that makes sense. I know basic HTML and CSS but havent made a website with either of them. What would be the best way going about making a website like this?
It would probably be a good idea to start off with WordPress, which will give you the opportunity to have a template to start with that you can modify and learn more.
It is all about traffic, CTR and CPC. if you have enough targeted traffic and well ads optimization, you can earn good money from adsense
why are you so hell bent on making money with adsense? there are many more lucrative ways to make money online.
Try putting adsense on your forum, maybe you will be surprised. You probably won't though unless you have a high CPC.
Forums usually have too much repeat visitors who don't click on ads. But if you have very high traffic you can earn money yes. Also it depends what the forum is about. For adsense, forum, blog, sites it's always best to target non technical people in a topic where there are many advertizers. Good luck.
