Google just paid me £76.88 ($116.55)

That's really good THT! Maybe also concider doing premium accounts because in the last 2 months I have made £80 ($116) from selling premium accounts on the FFF. So basically made £160 ($232) in the last 2 months.

Congrats Clover! I have ads on my site, and with the low incoming traffic I still have managed to get 25$ this month alone. I never heard of google banning accounts before, that is weird.

Its not uncommon, but it happens due to breach of their TOS. How can that be weird?

Google banned me. I didn't do anything wrong but they wont listen. Guess they dont ever own up to mistakes they make.

Did members of your site constantly click them?

What are premium accounts, exactly?

Well I know it is not uncommon to be banned from something for breaching their TOS, but it seemed like when I read it here, people got banned for no reason.

Fair enough, but there is always a reason, and even if people don't like it, its your word against Google's, so really, there isn't anything you can do about it.

Yea, I think giant companies like them make it so hard to get in contact with that people give up and just assume they closed it because they were to be paid.

Oh yeah, this is the same as my user pass thing. Well mine sucks, which is why no one buys it. I don't know exactly what to set so that those premium users get extra features without effecting everyone. (phpbb)

Made £7.51 from Google Adsense in the past 8 days.
When do they payout, I know that their minimum payout is £60 but I heard they have a specific date of each month when they pay out.

 

[swood]

Did you only put ads at the top of FFF and EPW?

Correct. And on the FFF the ad is only there to guests.

Only two ads in total and only guests can see them... thats very impressive Clover. Just hope my forum can become as big as yours some day

I was told that in USD my account would need 100$ and I would be paid at the end of every month (If it has at least 100 dollars, of course)

It may be different, I may have just gotten lucky ith the end of the month but ya. I am not sure.

 

[Cloverfield]

Thanks swood and yeah they pay out at the end of the next month. Quite a long process but worth it 🙂

 

[Midnight]

I agree with swood, in the long term, may you consider putting ads for your registered members? Or maybe a couple more ads?

I'm not an expert with Adsense but surely that would bring you a great deal more money?

Anyway, congratulations and I hope you have higher and higher py-outs!

Ben. 🙂

I already had it shown to members and I don't think many if any clicked. Why would they? They have come to the forum to post, not look at ads lol. Besides, it rewards guests to sign up to the forum to remove the large ad.

 

[Tecca]

Members don't make you money through adsense - they will not click the ads, and really don't give that many unique ad impressions.

Guests, on the other had, do tend to click ads more often and provide many more unique impressions. And as Cloverfield said, it's always nice to reward a visitor by removing ads if they register.
