    What do people look for when buying forum advertising spots? I am wanting to sell 125x125 blocks of advertising spots on my forum.

    Which stats should I concentrate on?

    UV?
    Members?
    Page Rank?

    Thanks

    You should concentrate daily traffic (UV). Members are also a plus point but remember that registered members click on ads very less as compare to the guests, so you should get as much traffic as you can.

    Yes, $5 is the amount most people start selling advertising with, including me :D

    I sold banner ads on my smsbucket forum for $5/month but now when the traffic has increased I can easily charge more.

    Traffic, Traffic and Traffic that is the key to success. But hey, work on the content too. Fresh and interesting content will keep the visitors/members returning.

    Good luck

    I will definitely be working on content.

    My goal for this website is to make 640 dollars a month.

    5 Dollars a day through adsense.

    and

    5-10 ads spots at 50-100 dollars a month.
