I'm just trying to figure out what people make from their forum's based on size of forum, members, post count etc.
Nice, what kind of market are you in? I have a game forum with over 200,000 posts and about 10,000 uniques a month that only makes like $250
I can tell you it depends entirely on the forum topic. I have 2 automotive forums. About the same size, about the same pageviews. One makes 3 times as much and gets 3 times the clicks. The only difference between them is the kind of cars discussed. So each community is different.
Yah, I was thinking about trying intellitext or kontera on my larger forum to see if that can help add a boost to the revenue. Have any of you guys tryed adding those types of programs into your forums?
Quite awhile - I started it back in July 2004. But I get around 60 - 80 new members a day these days so it grows fairly quickly along with the post count as we get around 700 - 800 posts a day these days.
Are you guys all on dedicated servers then? What kind of bandwidth/processor usage you use per month?
I'm curious about how people are making $1300 a month off their forums when I believe I have similiar activity (although my unique visits are lower). Is that $1300 from Adsense alone or are you factoring in other things?
