    I'm not starving. I just wrote that so you would come in here and help me. :D

    Okay I have a forum and I put ads at the bottom. Now I don't earn anything from them. Like $0.50 average per day. And I was wondering how I could earn a bit more. Like $2 per day on average or more.

    Now I know I could put ads at the top. But will it make the forum look ugly?

    Please help me out. Thanks.

    Btw, here's the link to my forum: http://www.whooked.com

    If you center it in the middle under user login it will look good

    Yeah I was thinking about that too. I'll try that. I don't think it will look too ugly. Like match the colors and stuff.

    I would suggest if you want to achieve better results, try replacing the top Ad unit with a paragraph of content follow by a horizontal link unit (allow some margin between these two elements).

    why don't you build your ads within the posts, i.e. when someone posts, it creates a second post with adsense

    That's ugly and annoying. Like I could put link units after posts. But ad units are too much.

    80% of my Adsense revenue income comes from link unit :)

    .50 cents on how many clicks...if it is on a lot of clicks...then your niche must be the problem...i think number of clicks should be the baseline on saying that a site is bad or not, and not the dollars...:D

    ads at the top fold always is very effective even though it can be ugly at times....
