    Hi All,

    Just interested to hear everyones views on what they think earns them the best revenue?

    For example, if you have a typical HTML site, blog or forum sites, which have you found has a higher CTR rate and which generates better revenue?

    I'm looking to develop several sites but don't want to waste time and money on a forum or blog if a typical HTML site will work better. Lets say that all 3 sites are all in the same market place.

    So come on, lets hear some feedback.

    Much aprpeciated.
    Zaheer :D

    Forum have the worst CTR, And also you'll have to edit many things to get high Targeted Ads related to the page content.

    Blog's CTR is not bad, and of course it depends on the layout of your theme, placement of units, relation between Ads and content ... etc

    Ordinary websites can give you some REALLY HIGH CTR, but it also can give you one of the LOWEST CTR!
    It depends on your design, content, targeting, URLs, placement, Ads Layout .... many things

    From my experience, forums perform a lot worse than blogs and websites.

    I would think it depends more on the niche you are targeting. Also, depending on how you set up your blog would make a big difference. If it is just a random blog, I would imagine it would have a low CTR. If it is more of an info blog, then CTR can be very good.

    among all 3, forum earing is the lowest. whether blogs or site better really depends on site content and marketing/traffic. but blogs are better for SEO and becoming more and more popular these days. lot easier to add an articles under a specific category withoiut having to change any site navigation

    Forums has not been quite productive for me too

    A CPM program is much better for a forum as there are a lot of pageviews as the members of the forum surf and reply in the forum a lot giving it a lot of pageviews

    Normally, the websites and blogs CTR will be moderately higher than forums...

    However like most of DP members said, "content and ads placement" is the main point for high CTR.

    A niche site is best for AdSense because the ads will be very targeted and thus the CTR will be high.
    However in that case any affiliate program will perform better than AdSense ;)

    Forums have very low CTR.

    Websites and blogs are same when it comes to adsense. The thing that matters is the amount of traffic.

    I prefer blogs, as they are easy to manage and adding content in blogs is no problem.

    Plain HTML site has better CTR than a Blog or forum. Blogs are not that bad though.
