I am new to the business of making money from traffic and clicks would like some advice before I start looking for a designer to make the site. I am hoping someone has a simalar site and can give me some example besides adsense on how to generate some monthly income. Or how to get the most from adsense. Also how cheap should I be able to get someone to set-up a simple forum for me?
Making money off ads is complleety dependant on how well you design your web site/cms/blog/whatever. You can have all the traffic in the world, but badly placed ads will make you nothing. People will probably be happy to set up your forum for $10 in the buy/sell/trade section of Digitalpoint.
