Anyone who made a big success through Forums & Adsense?

Do you think Forums are Profitable ? i think if it is a big Forums with lots of posts and members , it surely is ..works great with Adsense

I also think it is because for each post , there is a different adsense ad , the content varies with the Posts , so the ads also which can make you earn more ..

Give your opinions plz .. thx

 

they can be if you have a good member base+alot of traffic

 

Forums are profitable. Just look at this forum.

 

I agree with U... The best Example for Forum with Adsense is none other than DP Forums..

Regards,

 

However, forums require you to put a lot of effort into building them. Don't get your hopes up on getting your forum as big as DP.

Try anyway though.

 

The initail promotion for a forum takes a lot more work than a site would though.

 

The CTR of forums as oppossed to a normal site is also historically much lower. That means that, while your ads are more varied, you might still not get many clicks.

A forum can be profitable, but like most things, it takes work.

 

Yeah... It takes more effort and time to make money from any forum.

 

The forums need to be coupled with front sites. I own three big-boards.com listed forums, and they each make $xxx daily, but IMO only because they each have front sites fllled with 1,000s of pages of static content. If the front sites were removed and the forums were left to earn on their own, these sites would barely bring in low to mid $xx. despite being fairly huge.

 

ive been here for less than ten posts and ive already got information overload.. n guess wat im hooked and i still want more.. []

 

On my forum I used to get 20K impressions and around 30-50 clicks a day earning me around $10-30.

 

Forums have lucrative earnings but one needs to put a lot of resources into developing them. I think paid membership or upgrade forums are better than just general membership ones.

 

How did you manage to make 3 forums with front sites consisting of 1000s of pages of static content for each?

 

I was fortunate enough to purchase them already established.

 

lucky man ^

 

I've got a forum which gets approx. 100,000 page views a month, and takes up heaps of my time ( I have to do the majority of the posts ) and I only make between $1 - $5 per day with google adsense, definately a lot of work for a little money

 

Thats about 150 daily visitors..
I have a forum with 100 daily and I got $7 per day from my ads. Im not using AdSense or YPN. Maybe you should seek a new way to make money with your forum.

 

Which ads do you use? Oh and even worse, I get around 300 - 350 visitors a day

 

If you want a successful forum which gets good clicks is DP.
I remember in a past articles, he said he gets over a $1000

 

Thanks infonote, sorry I am new-ish here and I don't know what DP is?
