    What exactly do i want to do. I was readin in the other forums that you have to spend money to make money. I have never spent 0 moneys and i receive 25,000 impressions a day, so is adwords worth it for me?? I just opened a homepage for my forums which receive's about 5,000 page views a day, the home age will have interviews with various artist from the dc area. My forums receives 25,000-30,000 pg views a day but i only get about 20 clicks a day for a very low ctr ratio thats why i opened the homepage with the articles. Should i even bother with adwords?

    AdWords may not be the best avenue for you to go. Forums have notoriously low CTR, due to the fact that people are there for the forum. Why would they want to leave because they saw an interesting ad? Although you will get clicks on your site, paying for traffic will still only result in the same CTR once they get there. For example, if your forums AdSense CTR was 1%, and you get 100 visitors to your site through AdWords, you will only get 1 of those visitors to click an AdSense ad. Why would you pay for 100 clicks to only get 1 in return?
