I Need Help Monetizing My Forums!

    Hello,

    So I own a forum that is connected to a community that plays on video game servers that I host. Most of the income comes from donations and subscriptions as well as a little bit of adsense. I know there is something I am missing. Could it be a video game affiliate? Maybe someone who pays per page view or visitor if i displayed an ad of theirs relative to video games? Im not sure.

    Check me out: tpsgaming.com (just one of my many projects)

    My site is quite popular in my niche (10,000-20,000 page views a day) and i have an EXTREMELY active group of registered users as well as a lot of guests.

    Anyway,
    if you think there is something else i could be doing, please post below.

    THANKS!

    Hi MeowMeowKitty,Yes, you can definitely look into CPA (Cost Per Action) type of gaming affiliates and CPM (Cost Per Mile) type of advertising to provide additional income streams.Hope it helps.Cheers!

    Yeah something related to gaming affiliating seems the obvious thing to do. Ideally games that are highly relevant to your traffic.
