Forget about any kind of IP blocking IMHO. First, large groups of people often use the same IP (a family, a college dorm, etc.), IPs are shared and change all the time, and anonymous IPs are becoming the rage (I'm using one myself and have responded to this thread from some 3-4 different IPs). Also anyone accessing from a mobile device or from work & home will be using multiple IPs.
  • hmmm you are right. IP restriction seems to be bad.
  • yah, I am already considering setting up special forums for paid members only but it will take a lot of time and hard-work.
  • my forum is in my native language which most ads companies dont support and even those who support dont have much ads for my site. i tried adsense but its ads are not relative to my site so with 10000 impressions and hardly a few clicks i can hardly make 1 USD daily. impressions number is fine but i can increase clicks bcoz ads are not relative at all.
Were time-tested solutions are ads and special section?? Please tell me if there are any other time-tested solutions. Thanks in advance!!
