Hi everyone...

My site has always been a not for profit site. Recently, I've been hit up from a nice handful of people who are willing to pay for ad's on my site.

I was hoping what the most profitable and most configurable ad's mod would be. I like the idea of PHPads, but it looks like that only ads a banner. Is it worth using this mod?

Also, I have no clue as to what google adsense is but I see it everywhere. Does this really make money? If so, is there a way to get it on my site in such a way where it's not annoying? I would like to start making a few bux on the site, but not at the cost of overwhelming the site with tons of ad's. I think I can do this in a way where everyone can benefit.

Thanks for all of your input. BTW... I'm using vbAdvanced with vBulletin 3.6.1, along with vbseo.

I'm in exactly the same position as you my friend. I run a small non profit site too, I have found Adsense has made me about $50 in the last couple of months, but I also offer advertising to my members and related companies. Recently, there is no demand - Myspace is killing off my site - but in the past selling ad space worked quite well. I just have the one ad at the top of my pages. I use GAB - the best vB banner mod I have tried.

i personally have a commercial hack for "sponsoring" that let you choose one sponsor/advertiser for each forum or category... that expand your possibilities...

see siggy if interested!

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
