Is it possible to make money via ad sense with all sites, or some better then others. I have a passion for cars, thats one reason I started this forum, still under construction though..Just wondering, are the chances good of making 800 a month off this, if I can really get it going..Or is it real tough to get car forums up there..I'm sure I will get donations from members, since most car forums tend to do that..Anyhow any input is welcome, thanks! altimacoupes.com
Nobody can answer for sure - the only way to know is to try it! however, i can tell you that some niche's earn better than others - and i have no idea how well the Altia Coupe niche pays (you'll have to let us know in 6 months)... what most will agree with though, is that CTR (and thus earnings) on forums is usually horribly low.. The magic key to how much you earn is how much traffic you get.. Try it (it wont hurt anything) then report back and let us know how it works out..
No question, forums are better to get acctual advertisers... I've been unable to make that much off forums but the associated static pages have gotten well beyond that
It's hard to make money off forums with adsense, you'll have better luck with static pages on common topics and direct traffic from the forum to that page and visa versa. Selling banner space is better, but to make $800/month you'd need a lot of traffic. Why only forums? Do a whole community site for a niche. It's gonna be hard, but if you're passionate about the car the time will fly. Don't do it just for the money, you'll burn out, you gotta love the topic and see it from your users point of view so there’s something in it for them, not just you. Your niche is super tight, you may check on suppliers that sell mod kits and so on for Altima coupes, affiliate part shops will give you more money than adsense. Make sure there's at least 1 post in each forum, otherwise people see it blank and think it's dead, dying or never lived.
Agree with complexor. If you're really an enthusiast, by all means, write about the cars. $800/month isn't impossible by any means! Indeed, it takes a little while, but even a little site can beat that if you work at getting some content up... and then sustaining it isn't hard at all.
$800/ month is not impossible. I know another webmaster making $1800 / month alone with Adsense. Good luck.
