Not making much with my current forum. I used to make $xxx to $xxxx on my old forum.

EricGT 12-25-2007 01:57 AM

My site currently receives visits from about 1,000,000 unique ip numbers a day. We receive 55,000 or so new messages a week. The site started out as a hobby and it has only been in the last three years or so that I began to commercialize it. It is making decent money now, but I suspect that its earning potential is much higher.

google won't let me run Adsense, due to the fact that the topic of my site is firearms related. What are some other avenues I can follow to monetize the site? Are affiliate programs like Commission Junction worth the trouble? Any advice would be appreciated. Eric

Yeah...it's really good...however I'm not really a big board either. I have:

1,925 members

1,595 threads

10,141 posts

So I'm probably still a small board. However most of my active users are "Premium Paid" members.

Sorry for posting in this thread even though I'm not a "big board", but my board is generating income.

I appreciate the information. I just tested Clicksor and even with adult ad content turned off, they were pushing ads for things like penis enlargement and adult escort services. It was disappointing. If it is allowed, you can PM me the referal link and I will give you credit, if I use the service. Thanks. Eric

silver surfer 12-27-2007 05:59 PM

there...i pmed you.

CHEERS and happy new year to all !!! :D

Eric, from your current site stats, you should run your own software to advertise. Adsense is a very poor income producer and that comes from many experienced marketeers. If you want to learn new money making tips, hang on shoemoney's or John Chow's websites... they will teach you many great things.

While you read new things, install OpenAds. It is capable of serving billions of ads per month. The performance is dependent on CPU power, amount of RAM and disk speed of server you currently have.

EricGT 12-27-2007 08:45 PM

I am using the precursor to OpenAds. I just haven't gotten around to upgrading. I have a large number of advertisers now. I would like to explore other revenue streams though. Something like AdSense could be run concurrently to my current advertising system, without cutting into its earnings potential. I will check out the sites you mentioned. Thanks again for the tips.

Am I reading this correctly, 1 million unique IP's per day??? That's a crapload of traffic, you should be swimming in the ad money!
