Do you Offer Ad Space to Members

[Cosmic]

Do you do this?

I'm not talking about promotion forums, as that's a basic part of the format. Do you own a forum which is focused in general towards people who own websites, and if so, do you offer advertisements to people who visit your sites? This could include sections for posting links, but also could include banners, affiliate buttons, etc. Do you think this is a good idea? Do you offer it to members with X number of posts, X amount of cash, or something else?

I think it is just way to complicated and time consuming to keep replacing and adding different peoples banners and affiliate links on my websites, so I just get something like ad sense and plop it down somewhere.

You could probably get more money if you have a large amount of traffic on your website, and renting out ad space for users websites.

At the moment I don't do this. But it has been on my mind to do something like this for awhile.

I do not offer ad space to members yet, but I am highly considering it for money!

Not currently, of course I like to wait about 1-2 years when the traffic is rolling in and have perfected my website/forum before offering ad space.

Yes I do offer space. I believe it is a good idea to allow your members to share there sites and also earns the site some revenue.

It is a good idea by giving adspace members show more interest to post
