    My forum is now 3 weeks old and it has 330+members and 10,000+ posts. Receiving around 1000 uniques a day, mostly from other forums and blogs talking about my forum, but also some visitors from google and some random other places. Some of the traffic does come from manual surf websites which my members are advertising their referral link on but the manual surf websites seem to bring in quite a few members as well as they are mostly people who are looking to make more money which is what my site does.

    My forum is www.sizeofpaper.com and it is a pay per post forum directed mainly at people who want to make money online but also webmasters. The most popular topics are money making, webmaster and gaming. I have quite a few different ads to sell on the site. Ignore any prices you see for ads on the site, some will be the same as this and some will be different, some of the advertising offers im making here are only made for people of DP.

    - 468x60 banner rotation with 2 other banners (one left) - $5/month.
    - Replace all the network ads (top of every page, after every first post, bottom of every post,bottom of thread list 768x90) - $25/month
    - Partner Link in the left column (4 left) - $5/month
    - Forum Sponsor, get your own category redirect at the top of the home page (one left) - $10/month
    - Corner Peel (one available) - $15/month
    - Email to all members - $5 per email
    - Sticky Post at top of a category of your choice (max 2 per category) - $2/month

    Any orders $10 or higher will receive a free email out to all members within the next month. I recommend getting a forum sponsor or corner peel as they receive the most attention. Also forum stickies arent too bad either. Others are good if you are just looking for some cheap extra advertising.

    Its best to advertise on my site if you have some kind of online money making system, or anything to do with webmasters. Im doing another big advertisement next week pushing more towards gamers coming to the site as well so if you have a gaming website then it would suit the site as well. I do not accept anything illegal or porn. I do accept gambling sites.

    Also while im talking about advertising im also looking for more sites to advertise on.

    PM me or post here if you have any questions or would like to take any of the ad placements. If you want to buy more then 2 ads on the site then i can do cheaper deals.
