    I currently run a UK Based music and clubbing forum. Im showing adsense ads on my forum but i seem to only just about hitting $1 a day sometimes $2 but not very often.

    [​IMG]

    Is $1 day from adsense with those stats good/bad?

    Any other ideas how i can monetize my forum and make the most from my visitors.

    Build up traffic to your forum, position the ads where they are easy to see and click, and you should see a steady gain over the next few months.

    My forum is in the UK and does not get as many hits as you but much more income. You can see it here- http://www.ultimatehandyman.co.uk/forum1/index.php

    It is common knowledge that adsense is not brilliant in forums, but I guess that some of the huge forums like this one do ok!

    Have you got a link to your forum?

    Adsense is not the best option for forums. I think should go for CPM campaigns plus selling links, banners on your website. This will be propably better option for you.

    Subscriptions are the best options for forums. CPM and other affiliate links (through forum newsletters) also work.
