I made $2.42 so far from Adbrite off inline ads.

Typically, is this considered slow or fast for a forum because I never had a forum before.

 

how many posts in those articles?

 

Can you post a link to your forum? Maybe that will help us evaluate better.

 

Depends like "kingOfKings" stated a link to your forum would be useful.

 

62 registered users in a few days is pretty good. What kind of marketing are you doing for this forum?

 

Mouth to mouth marketing

it is a stocks forum

 

It's a good start. Keep advertising ur forums and such, and you'll be rewarded.

 

Interesting ... how did you generate initial traffic to your site? I am curious.

 

I'd like to know also.

 

How much traffic does this generate?

 

Also watch out for the spam robot type signups as they may happen if you have got no spam prevention in place.

Good luck anyway.

 

I know some people in real life that run "stock pick sites" (they don't run the sites themselves tho...they are more into the stocks than the webmastering of it) but I just mentioned I was starting a forum and a few of them helped by mentioning my forum in their mailing lists

I'm not gonna give out the URL solely because I want the forum to be JUST for people interested in stocks. (I don't want webmasters to go in and sign up and dilute the forum's purpose.)

I don't have stats yet cuz I just installed Analytics but typically at any given time there's 2-7 users online.

 

Nothing to hoot and holler about, but if it is new, its a start . Keep advertising and offering more than the next guy and those stats will continue to move skyward.

 

Yea, adbrite looks promising...

I also have a 150x60px banner ad on top and sold it for $50/month.

 

you are doing good to just have launched.

 

You are doing very well so far, but it would be handy for a link. not for us all to go and signup because unless us guys are genuinely interested in your forums topic, we aint gonna sign up, but it doesnt hurt for a look around.

Dont forget. the more places you post a link, the more poeople and ultimately, search engines will visit your site. also people visiting your site might even click your ads and you may make a bit of cash from it!!!

 

seems pretty good to me.. maybe if u can provide more incentives for people to visit your forum, that would be beneficial.

 

It's a nice try.Keep in going.

 

Yea, well the incentive for visiting the forum is ppl post the latest stock picks so going and being more active int he forum boosts their chances of catching the right stock so it is a monetary incentive

 

I think thats fairly good, considering that its pretty hard to start up an new forum.
