Hi all,
I'm looking for suggestions to monetize my forum. I'm currently getting around 2 million page impressions a month so wondered if anyone has clever ideas on making some money from this traffic.
The forum is Talk Angling & Fishing (http://www.talkangling.co.uk/fishing) and the thing is this - the angling industry is EXTREMELY HARD to get any advertising revenue out of so phoning round and sending out advertising rates has proved a bit fruitless.
Someone said to me that its easy to add affiliate links to a vBulletin site and drive some revenue, so is there a best set of affiliate links to use or can someone tell me a good strategy - is it worth adding eBay affiliate links to list their fishing tackle for sale and if I do that is there a way to make the links even more attractive by making them relevant to the topics being discussed.
Help please would be much appreciated.
