Guide me please !!
Hiiiii..
There are a few things I'd like to understand well.
I understand that this does not happen in a day but if I'll start from now, then only I can expect something within 4-6 months. Thank You and eagerly waiting for your responses.. |

This is a catch 22. Your site needs traffic to generate ad revenue. As your traffic goes up, so does your hosting cost. If you are expecting to cover hosting costs on a brand new site within 6 months, you're going to be disappointed.
Ads on a brand new site are a bad idea, because they deter new registrations. Nobody wants to sign up to a new site with very little traffic, especially if it's covered in ads. Your best bet is to run no ads at all until you establish a steady amount of traffic and a consistent memberbase, and then slowly integrate ads into your site from there. You want traffic, but you don't want to use vBSEO, which is a mistake in my opinion. If you aren't going that route, make sure that you take the time to install/mod your site as much as possible using the free modifications here. Paid subscriptons work in some respects, but again if you have a new site with low traffic, the incentive to actually subscribe to your site is very low. It's possible to cover your hosting with Adsense - a lot of us do. As far as advertising, banner ads will become more attractive to potential vendors once your site gets busy. |

1. I had put up very limited ads, and i don't find users getting distracted with it rather they look good. Quote:
