    I saw this on another site and thought it was a fun idea that can keep going and going.
    How much have have made from your forum via Google Adsense or any other advertisers on your forum(s) in the last week.

    I'll go first...
    I've made zero dollars..lol
    I don't have ads on either forum, maybe one of these days I'll add them back but I'm okay with a fast load time vs making a buck for now. :)

    How much have you made in the last week?

    I stopped using advertising, but I made a total of $4.43 in about a month.

    My site was dead, and the last thing I wanted was for people to see ads everywhere.

    I've made about $16 in the past 7 days. Adsense doesn't really perform all that great for forums.

    I don't agree with that, it may be harder.

    Adsense works well for me. It pays for the server every month. I never understood why people had problems with adsense. I likes them :)

    Well, it may be harder depending on your niche really. Some niches perform better than the others because they have more advertisers and such.

    I don't agree, ad placement & blending is how to make money with Adsense.

    I know that. I'm also running Digitalpoint ads[the plugin] on my community so the ads have good ad placement, and blends. My money went up after I switch to that.

    Currently the ads are making $0 because the advertiser that was supposed to be advertising backed out at the last minute for some reason. Was doing very well during the several months before that, though. I guess that's what you get for using a small, premium ad network like RCTgo does.
