    Do you think google adsense is the best option to monetize my forum?
    ps: it is a brazilian forum, so the traffic comes from brazil

    Thanks

    I agree. Google adsense is your best bet. Yahoo Publisher Network isn't an option for u.
    You might only want to sell ad space directly to advertisers.

    Best of luck

    Any advertising is better than no advertising.

    The only way to find out is the try different options.

    I would definitely do a trial with Google Adsense on your site.

    Depending on what your site is you could also sell advertising space which could bring in a lot of money also.

    Forums generally have more people just lurking then people actively posting. That's normal online.

    Threads: 585, Posts: 5,240, Members: 5,284, Active Members: 5,284
    ... Anyway, it's still nice for a forum that's 25 days old and i didn't invested a penny fro the site (ok a little contest with a total price of 8 dollars ;)
