Making a good $ from adsense on forums isn’t to easy…
I’ve tested and tested placements colours and sizes..
The main problem is always not to put off your users by having advertising…
I read this blog http://adsense.blogspot.com/2007/07/getting-your-forum-site-to-perform-well.htmlÂ
from google a while ago regarding how megaforums are making far more adsense $$$ ..
I personally felt that it was taking it to far as the first thing a new user sees is a chance to register with ads next to it.. hmmm.. not good for growing the forum imho…
So I took the same idea to make people sign up instead of offering them a choice of competitors…
So.. I’m using VB and if you need the code just drop me a email…
Basically i’ve inserted in the first post the nice large sqaure adsense box BUT only viewable to non members… Above the box its mentions that if you sign up this ad box will no longer be shown…
Since adding this registerations have really increased along with the adsense $ ….
Why?
Well many forums answer questions, mine is no different… Many people search for an anwser, hit the site and leave, now if these people see enough of attactive ad then you get a click vs the back button.. Simple..
Here is a screen shot for you:
