I guess i dont know how to put a value to the adds. My assumption is static adds are seen more so they would carry a higher value. Rotating banner adds provide for more exposure etc... I dont know maybe i was hoping for some sort of magic formula.

The Magic forumla is to Canvass, and Experiment. I don't think any one person can say use this, do this and you'll make money overnight from your ads.

Try a different form of advertising for 1 month at a time and the after you've exhausted all ad variations, weigh up the cost against the income, if you keep each ad to 1 month exactly, it should give you a rough idea of whats best, but most importantly, what will work better on your forum for both yourself and your members.

Good Luck
