I have a forum that is quite large, with about 10k uniques and 100k pageviews per day. The forums are in albanian (a tiny part is in english too) and Adsense is not an option for me. I need ideas from you guys how to monetize all that traffic. This is the forum http://www.zeriyt.com/
your best bet is to figure out ad placement, then test the various networks that are available in your area. As each forum/site is unique what works for me may not work for you. One page that explains adplacement: Forum Ad Placement Some more information can be found here: Six AdSense optimization tips for forums Then like I said, test them all. Swap them out and test them again. Find the best for YOU.
You may have some luck with affiliate programs if your customers have the habit of buying something online. First find out the potential interest of your customers. Do they use dating sites, ebay etc? You will be able to be an affiiate of many programs through cj or in some cases directly with a local company.
