    You could say you are running a competition and the prize is hidden behind a link on the site, which could e disgused as anytihng.....then watch your adsense clicks go through the roof as all those teens start searching your site....

    Well i've recently started selling the adspace directly and have made $20 for one month, 2/10 slots available on the banner rotator. I'm quite happy with that so far for the traffic i get. Means my income eventhough limited is paid at the start of the month rather than a variable up and down cpm or adsense. Many will disagree but i'm only new so even thoughit maybe the wrong decision at present i think it's a good one. :)

    Let chose GA if your site doesn't violate its TOS

    Dont expect too much as i can see you dont have much content at your forum. By the way, try to put the adsense at the bottom of every post will increase the earning

    To be honest i didn't expect $10 but as the first paid that i didn't want to be unfair so i kept it at that and the second person was happy too. I know i dont have much content but im trying get others to post, i dont want 1k threads all start by me with no real point. I'm also hoping people will ask questions so i know what the members want rather than just writing articles not many people will need.

    And then watch as your Google account gets terminated and never receive the money from Google.

    Not such a great idea after all.

    I was also half and half thinking this, because surely it is incentives to click links, which is not allowed.
