I am to the point that I have begun running my affiliate ads on vbulletin because I simply cant get clicks. I have put them up in the header like this forum and get a grand total of 0 clicks. tried leaderboards, small banners, and adlinks under the navbar, I have it after my first post, and I also have it in the last post of a thread for guests. (suprisingly, I get most of my clicks from that last one) who is getting a good CTR with vB and dont mind showing me where they have it and which banners they are using?
I have them in 2 places and get about 30 clicks per day (based 1700-2200 unique visitors a day / 35,000 page views a day). 1) 728 x 90 unit below the NAV Bar (not on the home page though - just on forums and topics) 2) 728 x 90 unit randomly between postings in a given thread. (only visible for guests, not visible for forum members who are logged in). I use the same colors for text and background as my forum has it. I hope that helps. Christoph
i coded my own bulletin board in php5 because Invision / phpbb sucks have u ever seen Invision source code? lets just say the programmers who coded it obviously never seen an OO code before or have no idea how to comment code, some of the bulletin systme out there are so bloated u wonder how they run, phpbb on the other has coders who think the more obscure their code is the better. anyways i got side tracked there, i found a skyscraper along the left, a small banner on top left, adverts at end of threads, and adverts after the first post to be the best locations advert positioning on digital point as well are quite nice, i mean they catch my eye every so often
