You have 4 registered members and you're going for adsense already?

If you're making forums to attempt to have a steady source of income, here's a heads up.

Don't fall to hard when it doesn't work out.

If you are asking me 50 Dollars a month is kinda big for a new forum
You usually start small then get bigger

Didn't TH have a Yahoo thing before vBulletin?

 

[sqrage]

>>Didn't TH have a Yahoo thing before vBulletin?
Yup, but apparently the new 'thing' is jumping right in and spending tons of cash on something with no end result.

 

[Miz]

wow then I'm doing the wrong thing :banghead:

 

[DDRtists]

I put in a ton of money to get my site started. Hardest part.

 

[MeRcChRiS]

No...Its not $50 a month, in total its $50 for 1 year.

Dont click 500 times, or else they might think of click fraud or something.
Bump*

Advertisements? Sorry, but I see no advertisements. Could AdBlock be ... blocking the ads?

Maybe I should try this: could you folks please install my spyware? I'd really like to collect your credit card data and buy some useless stuff with it. Thank you for your cooperation.

 

[MeRcChRiS]

Yeah could be adblock. Adsense is cool. It just relates links to what you site content is.

Yeah, AdSense is cool. Slows down page loading.
Intellitxt is cool too, highlights random words and pops up stupid ads when you move your mouse over one of them. The person that came with that idea should be shot.
DHTML popups are cool too. Especially when JavaScript is deactivated and you can't close/hide the ad.
So are Flash ads and huge GIF animations.

That's why we all have broadband access nowadays. :banghead:

 

[AceHart]

> It just relates links to what you site content is.

Perhaps.
Though you can't just expect people to click on anything they see.
That's also most likely in conflict with the "acceptable usage" policy.

Then again, rumor has it you can rent some people from really poor places to click ads for you...

OT: QFT

 

[MeRcChRiS]

Yeah but then again theirs click fraud.

Google is smart ya know =P

 

[MeRcChRiS]

Wait, nevermind. I Think thats only if you own a Counterstrike server or something. /shrug

 

[MeRcChRiS]

lol thanks guys ill try something =P


DDRtists...im having no luck with the sites page. I need help getting a layout for the site.

> The person that came with that idea should be shot.
I second that!
God bless Adblock.

> advertise for free
Google?
Keyword: "banner exchange".
Basically for every x number of banner views you produce, you get your banner to appear somewhere y times. y is usually at least three times less than x.
But it does, in the end, get some members to come. With any luck stay as well.

Though FYI at least 99% people will stop reading at "The site isn't quite done yet."
Also, as I already stated up there, your site lacks contents!
ATM you have
-8 members
-more forums & subforums than topics
-2 pictures in the gallery

OK, filling the forums is painful. It also takes time.
Luckily that is not the only thing you can provide your potential members with.
Take for example this site - even if you don't look at the forums you have for example
-a very large amount of WE tutorials
-plenty of W3 maps
-(usually) interesting news in the front page

Now all you need to do is get a conclusion from this post (at least from the second half) and your site might just start getting some members.

 

[MeRcChRiS]

So what might you be telling me, mate?
