    hi, im really having trouble finding the right forum for this thread, so sorry if this is in the wrong spot.

    ok, question, which site do you think i'd make the most money from.
    a vbulletin/vbseo tennis forum, or a vbulletin/vbseo teen forum?
    i was thinking of having 2 teen forums and making back links to eachother mmmm, very cunfused.
    my tennis site has nice content front page and forum, the teen forum is just a forum on its own.
    or which kinds of forums make the most money, like something people would be more interested in?

    thanks for any suggestions.

    it's better to have both forum , the more you active in some forum the more traffic you get

    From the above two choices, I will suggest you to go for a teen forum for these reasons:
    1. Teens prefer joining forums now-a-days (don't know the exact reason, but they consider it cool to be a part of some community).
    2. You will get more options for keywords in a teens forum than a tennis forum (where the keywords will revolve around the tennis world only--making it a specialized niche).
    3. You will need to spend more money on a specialized niche like tennis to buy/update content, and build links, while a teen forum will require less of such trouble because the teens will be the main content producers, and can generate interesting content than tennis lovers (no offense)
    4. Your forum will become popular soon if it impressed the teens as compared to impressing the tennis lovers/people interested in tennis.

    Hope it helps you in making a good decision.:)

    If you can afford to put your time and efforts in both of them, start both, i.e. one teen forum and the other tennis forum.

    i think tennis, its more targeted, plus traffic is more monetized with 18+ audience

    If you have an established teen forum, it won't be difficult to establish another one for you. I guess, you can go as per your interests. Making two teen forums (one worldwide and one for Australian) is a good idea because you can market your new site forum on your older forum for free.:)

    Any site can earn money if you can get lot of traffic. Traffic = $$$

    But forums usually have low CTR.

    I would say between the two.... Teen forum. I would say if you want to make money there are better options then going with a forum. Not saying you can't make money with one, just better options out there.

    Don't run 2 forum each time coz you need to give 100% attention to only one forum.
    Other than that,you can sell ads at your forum to earn extra income such as tennis ads.

    I don't find this approach effective as
    competition is very high for teen ...
    Why would teen only post on your forum(are facebook,myspce,etc are dead..)
    and Tennis is deeper niche...

    I agree. Facebook and myspace have eliminated the need for teen forums.
