How much do you earn on your big board?

Hey guys!
Just out of curiosity i was wondering how mutch you make on your big boards?

Type in forumname, rank on Big-Boards and how mutch you make.

No need to say how you make it.

:banana:

I'd like to see some of these forums, I've noticed alot of you haven't included your urls

15k users, most spam posts removed and users purged when inactive.

people still come in but the money from adsense is low

anyone tip for a company with banner ads perhaps ?

maybe that would make them click more :P

I run 2 forums one has 31,000 members the other has 42,000 members

the first makes around $1,000 - $2,000 a month the other $3,000 - $4,000 a month

any board with 5,000+ members should be making atleast $500+ a month.

I have almost 11k users and I purge users and we dont make near that much, we get donations and some subscriptions but with adsense I thnk google makes most of that money cause its crap. How do you make so much?

first step to any successful forum of your own is to spend lots of time studying the successes and failures of other sites....quietly keeping a pulse on other's traffic will provide you with the tools to properly make your own site successful. Despite the continued growth of mine, I still actively track a dozen other large forums to understand what they are or aren't doing to grow.

The other key is to have a site that is an extension of a passion you already have...my site began as an extension of my own passion for offroading, and I continue to participate actively both online AND thru my attendance at events....amazing how well passing out free coffee mugs and stickers and koozies can work for brand recognition.

I'm hard pressed to keep my weekly time below 40 hours...fortunately, my present job (professional offroad driver) allows me sufficient downtime to keep up.

From a $$ standpoint, my 2006 business taxes ran over $10,000...including penalties....uugh

i have 8000 uniques a day, and i used to make something like 9$$ dollars a month... but now i only make 0$.

I have 22000 members 2200 unique a day making 5$ a day so far with AdSense. no other source of income (by the way the AdSense is not on my forum its on other site that I linked with a banner images in my forum.

because we know adding AdSense in the forum is risky!!

I make $5K-$10K a month, depending on how many sponsors are renewing their advertising with me. I do poorly on Adsense for some reason, most I have made with Adsense is $1500.

Site has over 25,000 registered members.

- 10k uniques a day / 80k pageviews
I make around $35 a day from popups on my mainpage (not forum) and around $10 a day from adbrite/admedian cpm banners. I hope i can do something with subscriptions in the upcomming months cause I dont like popups at all My stats:
Threads: 2,755, Posts: 39,658, Members: 47,539, Active Members: 11,706 and around 200-500 registrations per day. (Running on a dedicated server from softlayer, $190/month)

You would do better with some better placements. I see you did improve it by removing that annoying "please register" overlay you had on there. I am a member on your site and even with the "remember me" feature it would popover.

Better placements will improve your adsense. I changed one of my sites and went from 4k/ 5k a month to 11k/12k a month on one of my sites.

Your articles need better ad integration. It will pay out much better. If you have any questions dont hesitate to PM me. I check in here every other day.
