I have an own forum and I am searching for the best way...  |
|
 ...to make some extra money with it.
My forum is based on php-fusion and it's forum of our mmorpg guild.
It's add free.
But I am wondering if I could make some money with this too?
Through adds? Adsense? Through a search engine?
Do you have an own forum you make some money through?
If you have one, what do you use to make increase your online money?
Please let me know of your experiences! Thank you!

1.  Sleepingcap (136) | 4 months ago |  If you can turn the forum into a huge community of users with many active users, you can try to sell some adspace to webpages and such.
Although without enough folks to visit, you won't be able to make any money off of it - although honestly, i would not fill my guild forum with any flashy ads of such.
But then again - it is entirely up to you.

| docipain (96) | 4 months ago | Actually I like the fact of it being add free, so I don't really consider to fill it with tons of adds either but maybe one or two wouldn't hurt that much.
But at first I want to try to collect some other options before I try out one. But maybe it's senseless, who knows. | |

| 2. markrevis (340) | 4 months ago |  There are numerous ad agencies that you could use, adsense is a possibility.
Remember 2 things: firstly as your first reply suggested too many ads is off-putting.
Second, make sure you tell your members NOT to click on the ads unless they are really interested. I could imagine members 'helping' you by clicking on ads, and then getting your account terminated for click fraud!!
All in all, I would say it is unlikely to earn much from a small forum, but at the least a couple of ads should pay for some of your hosting costs.

| docipain (96) | 4 months ago | This sounds good.
Our last forum also has one add but I don't know where it came from since at that time I didn't made the forum.
I wouldn't tell them to click the links anyway because I think this would be unfair. It''s like preying on them. No way.
Let me see if I come up with something good. Thanks for your idea! | |

| markrevis (340) | 4 months ago | Oh, I am not suggesting you would ask them to click, I mean perhaps you have to remind them NOT to click! Sometimes people can too helpful!

4.  Rose2798 (168) | 3 months ago |  I suggest Google AdSense. I also suggest that in your signature on your forum, that you put; "I recommend these sites" and then some referral links. You can't earn much money without a lot of members. But if you PM me saying that you'll make me (and keep me as) a moderator, admin, or something like that. I'll join, post, and maybe even hook up some people to your site.
