Google Adsense?

[Korora]

Has anyone here used Google Adsense on their forum? Is it a good choice to do so? And where did you place your ad at?

Just trying to get insight on what people think of this 🙂

Moved to a more appropriate forum. 🙂

My forum has it, but since I'm on ZetaBoards, I don't get the revenue.

Not like I need it though, since the only expense I have is the domain.

I've used it before, it's pretty nice. Just need a big memberbase if you want to make something off of it. 😛

I used it for one of my blogs previously and it didn't work out much as I had less number of daily visitors.

I use it on my forum and it is alright. If you want to make big money out of it then you need a very big membercase or guests. I placed my ads in the header. I personally prefer buysellads over adsense and use adsense as a backfill when your ads are not sold. I thought this was more effective than just adsense on its own.

I've had it up on a couple of my sites in the past, didn't really make any money out of it though (too small user base for it to actually give some revenue).

Also since I don't really like seeing a lot ads on other sites I did try to keep them as unintrusive as possible and to a minimum which I suppose could have contributed to the low income.

I know you can earn from them though under the right circumstances so I might go back to setting a few ads up on some places.

I've only ever used it on blogs as an actual source of income - I always find forums don't tend to get much income via PPC ads like Adsense so there is no real point in running them.

I've used adsense. I think it is a realy good way to make some profit out of your site. Mostly there will be ads showing that are relevant for your members so the chance they click on the ad is bigger > more profit for you.

I've used google adsense before , It is one of the good option for earning some nice money online.

For the few times I have had it on a forum, I tended to get enough to satisfy server expenses. Though, I never really tried to get the forum to the point, where Adsense was worth being on there all the time.

I hope to use it. You need bigger amount of users to make a living out of that. 😎

I think google adsense is very effective and gives a fair amount of revenue. 😀

I think it's effective but you'll need to have a steady flow of traffic/users before really seeing any substantial earnings, so people should work on that first.
