Is there anyone making $100 a day off a single forum? If so, I would be interested to see what amount of users/threads/posts/unqiues they have so I have something to look forward too
I have ads on the site but I dont overcorwd my forums. I totally agree with you that if they are good to the site and post on a regular basis then why smother the pages with ads.
There are definitely forums making $100 - none that I own obviously... but there are lots of popular ones out there making that sort of money... but that said most people running forums that big rarely opt to just have AdSense as their primary means of income, and many big forums actually opt to not use AdSense at all because there are better means. Here a quote from another site where I posted a response to a similar question:
making money on forums can be hard. you can also try to have a msg spam bot where he randomly posts your adsene to random threads ehe
