Looking for a decent paying ad company for my forums

    Basically, we had a recent stream of bots from a banned member of the forum view the forums a lot, which resulted in Google banning us from Adsense, which sucks.

    So now, i'm looking for a good company for my forums which, according to google analytics, got an average of 95,100 pageviews a month between March 2013 through March 2014. During an average month, we have 400-900 unique visitors. 63% of our traffic came from the US, 9% from Canada, 7% from the UK, 4% from Australia, 3% from Finland, and 2.5% from New Zealand, with the remaining 11.5% coming from a medley of 62 countries.

    I don't want pop-ups or popunders, as those would really anger my members, and honestly, they're just rude.

    My members don't really click on ads either, at least not with any frequency - our adsense average was something like 10 clicks and ~50,000 pageviews a month, according to this old .csv I had exported to my google docs a little while before the banhammer struck.

    So, any suggestions for a good ad network that would service my forum well?

    Hey.

    I have had a similar problem with my forum. Banned members can be rather annoying.

    Now I use the following networks and seems to be OK so far.

    Switchads - Partial fill
    Q1 Media - back up for switch ads + video desktop slider (I have had them block the mobile one)
    Chitika - Main header and footer placement.

    I hope this helps :)

    Try Adhitz for text ads and banner ads. If you think not many people will click those links then try looking for CPM networks instead..

    Since ads don't seem to be working for you, perhaps you should try some form of paid membership or donation drive from your members.

    Hey there, you can try Fidelity Media for your forum, but I'm not sure if they will accept your forum. What is it about?
