More ...Kind of forum for Computer issues .. Do you guys think this kid of website will google give their Adsense to me ? Or any advice what kind of website I have to put ?.. please help me I am really new for this business... Always appreciate your support.. Cheers!!
In my experience, forum is not a good place for adsense.. You will have to capture the search engine traffic in order to do well for adsense
I am going to agree with KC. Look to natural traffic from the engines to bring the traffic, not from the regular forum users!
I think you should do something like dealigg.com where users post deals which are updated on a regular basis. That way you're not a forum and you get real traffic from people looking for computer deals... What do you think?
I'd try reviews of products and places to buy them using affiliates so you get some revenue. A newsletter perhaps so that once you reach say 1,000 subscribers you can make a forum? no point making one when its really quiet!
If the forums are filled with articles and reviews (long quality posts) perhaps.. but in general it won't make a lot of funds.. due to several reasons, including the fact that you'll be having a lot of repeat visitors (forum members) who will be ad blind or show no interest in your ads..
If your forum is as big as DP then you will make good money. Other wise no adsense is not good for forums. - Prilep
Hmm.. sounds very similar to my site.. Like others posted, the forums probably wont do well with Adsense, but if you also have static pages those can do pretty good. I was able to almost double-my adsense earnings by adding Kontera to the forums area so you might want to try that too. As far as your question - if the site is up and running and has content, you should have no problem betting approved..
A forum is a long term business and it will take time to generate a considerable amount of revenue. Probably you won't be making any penny for the fist few months. An established forum with 1000s of unique content will rank better on Google. Fusionmx
It's actually not a bad idea, I have a forum www.esldf.com and I got into google using that forum.. but you're gonna have to work really hard to get some earning .. After you get enough memebers .. you can leave it and enjoy the free content, traffic and good profit
Forums doesn't really do that well with Adsense. I know that from experience, but even though it doesn't do that well doesn't really worry me to much. Although I would like it to do better, the main reason I created the forums was not for making money from Adsense.
lol, that's why I always think BLEH to repeat visitors. Though that would be great for selling selected actual products!
The thing with forums is that you will not make as much from Adsense, but that's not really the point of some people having forums. I have a forums and I don't make much. I would like to make more, but its unlikely to happen. The main thing is it covers some of the costs for running it. The main reasons why I decided to have a forums is to build a community onto my existing site, which will then help to build the sites traffic and will give people a reason to come back to the site and it will then build it's brand.
Hmm, if you have a active forum with 5000+ active members , you will certainly make $$, but you wont make it with small forum and for a forum to become big, it takes time and patience and most important, your dedication to the community
Go ahead and create the forum, you can make good amount from selling links if not from adsense if your fourm becomes really big
