Anyone got any info on how kontera is for revenue? I'm currently making ~$20/day from adbrite with an alexa rank hovering around 6000, up by 3000 in 3 months.

Currently, I run an ad-free forum, and use a very good host (unlimited bandwidth for about $20 a month). Some people are claiming hosting costs 200 a month for 500 active member forums (how?). The server has gone down maybe once in 2 years, and otherwise runs very smoothly.

Really, I'm just wondering how much people think I could make if I added some moderate ad-hosts. Maybe a single banner on the side or top, I'm not really willing to make the site ugly for profit.

Here are some stats:
2,500 unique hits a day
50,000 page loads per day
3000 member forum

Since july 2007, we've had 42 million hits, 88 million page views and 412,000 unique visits.

Any modest estimates of possible revenue based on these statistics?

I dunno, I am struggling to keep up with over 500,000 pageviews per day, and yet only have 500-900 online at any given time.

I guess it depends where your traffics coming from and what they're doing when they get there.

I was making xxx now its xx on google. Since december. It sucks and I find it all rather insulting that I give them 21 K in page impressions a day (really more cuz I use 3 ads on a page and 3 count as one) so its like they get 0ver 60 impressions on there ads and they wanna give me 2$

Google is on its way out for me! I'll be deleting all but the navbar ad. There are plenty others out there trumping google right now!

Less see how they like the 40 K ad impressions a day they aint gonna get from me..

such as?

i use adbrite, but they are very unreliable. banner ads will disappear....ads make it through even though you haven't approved them (including half naked women when you have selected "only family friendly ads"), etc.

are there any truly reliable, profitable CPM programs out there for sites in the 10-20k pageviews per day range? Thanks!

edit: oops sorry. Didn't realize this was in the "big boards" section. I think i'm more in the middle boards range lol. regardless, if anyone has a suggestion, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

Value click is a making a buzz! :)

The economy as a whole isn't spending much on advertising right now and everyone's Adsense earnings are down. Theres tons of factors that can effect your adsense income, such as your niche, the time of year and some other things.

Make sure you pages are optimized as possible, you've got the best locations for your forums, and you're getting relevant advertisements delivered.

And i'm earning $xx.xx on my blog thats not even 2 weeks old :D

hello,i have 1 site present adult content and my site traffic in alexa 70.921 with PR2.
(the problems is Google Adsense doesn't permit adult site,anyone know to able to give idea besides TLA / GA ?

I have applied adbrite,but there is no one also advert in my site from adbrite. this is because my traffic still less or what ?

a forum will not make big money for you actually
