My board is not huge, about 2K members, 1K unique daily, 5K page views and we pull in about $1 or so a day. Along with our download section (4-6TB Monthly bandwdith). Needless to say, we are in the whole each month and a quite deep whole i must add.

As in "we", I am the owner but there is a few of us who help foot the bill and run the site.

Thats very bad! Your only getting $1 dollar a day from ads revenue and you have 1000 unique daily visitors. I think it's fair to say you need to totally re-think your ads campaign.

I have to be doing something wrong. What exactly that is, I'm not sure.

On average we pull in around:
  • 3800 Uniques/day
  • 60K pageviews/day
  • 300K hits/day

I've played with Tribal Fusion (who seems to be the best so far), Adsense, Burst, RealTech and with Tribal Fusion, we're only able to bring in about $5/day which just covers hosting.

It seems like we should be doing better?

I'm at the point where I'm willing to hire someone with ad management in order to get our sites revenue up.

Well for starters, you have not taken advantage of the Google Adsense colour pallet to change the colour of your ads to blend in much better, quite frankly they stand out as being ads a mile.

Also, your not taking advantage of the amount of ads by Google your allowed to display on any one web page (forum page). You can display 3 text ads, 3 link units, 2 search boxes, 3 referrals. But what matters to you the most is the "3 text ads and 3 link units" you can display on any one page.

All I've seen on the forum is a one text ad displayed below your shout box, and you've used the Google default colours (which makes it look really obvious). Oh, and you have one I just spotted displayed after the first post in a thread which is even worse. Because your using a white background for the ad. You also have a Picture Banner displayed near your footer. Picture banners from Google are pretty useless. Just about every web user avoids picture banners like the plague, unless there not served by Google and instead are the ones that entice you to click to win something, or "beat the monkey" type banners. Google picture banners are a waste of space though, because there is nothing interesting enough about them to make anybody want to click them!

The bottom line is this, it's not all bad news. At least you don't have great ad placement and are making nothing, you have very poor ads placement and colours. So it's no surprise your doing bad. There is a lot you could do to vastly improve your income from ad click-throughs from what I've seen.

Thanks for the input. The google ads are being served through RealTech Network so I don't have control over the colors as if I was running it through my own adsense account.

I am looking to hire someone to help with ad placement/management if you know anyone off the top of your head and would feel comfortable recommending them.

well, anybody who is well versed in the vBulletin code could intergrate them for you much better. But I would tend to check their own vBulletin site out first, to see what type of job they have done with there own site first regarding banner intergration.

How comes your not servering ads from your own Google Adsense account anyway? So you can control the colours etc

Thought we'd get paid more from RealTech with the variety of ads they serve. Had no clue they served google ads.
