    Hi there,

    I want to know that adding a forum on a existing website (500 Visitors a day) is helpful in increasing the traffic and revenue with Adsense or not.

    I will be thankful for any help.

    Best Regards

    Hi friends,

    I still not got any reply of my question.

    Kindly tell me adding a forum with an established website (500 visitors per day) is a good idea for increasing the Adsense revenue and traffic or not.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    It increases your traffic, but the revenue in adsense that's another story.

    Hi there,

    Thanks for your reply.

    I have 500 users per day on my website so I plan to add forum that would be related to my website topics.

    I want to know that by adding forum can effect site's current earning with Adsense?

    Secondly, is it good idea to add the forum only to increase the traffic for the site.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Regards

    is it 500 unique visitors or page impressions ?

    it depends on how many new visitors you get per day and from where you get your major traffic, also depends on topic of your forums

    Hi there,

    Thanks all for your replies.

    The topics of my website and the Forum's topic are closely related.

    Secondly , my major traffic source is the US visitors.

    Please advise that is it good to use the forum for one month or not for testing?

    Can the forum become beneficial for increasing the traffic for my website or not?

    Regards

    A forum can be good for adsense.

    Mine is great and It generates a fair aount of income, but I would never do anything just in order to get more income from adsense.

    If you think your site will benefit from a forum then install one and if you do get a little from adsense then it is a bonus.

    When my site was getting around 3,000 visitors per day, i added a forum.. After a few months, all the extra content started brining in around 10,000 visitors per day. The Adsense in the forums area did not earn much more, but overall earnings went much higher because people were visiting other areas of the site. I added Kontera to the forums, and that increased earnings even more..

    a forum is good to have on a website like that ! it will only attract more visitors which means more revenue!

    I have a forum myself at www.9mb.com

    It is not earning much with adsense but I also give 80% of ad time to the thread starters!

    Good for content and traffic, but a bad earner for Adsense.

    My 2 cents...

    yes, it is not good for adsense.. but when your forum is big.. you can sell banners on top ! or other advertising !

    It can sure bring in a nice monthly figure if done right!

    forum got low CTR and need time to maintenance. but if you got time and effort for if, it can be a good way to generate the income. more meber to use your forums, more chance they will click the ads.
