How do Ads work on Forums

[Bookwormlux1]

I think the best revenue source for forums is sponsorship and private ads (as opposted to network ads). Sponsorship means some business or individual sponsor your site.

That kind of advertising is far better than other alternatives, it also helps you to get linked to different sponsors too since you already know the sponsor in person.

Ads on forums are usually ways to earn money and that's why they always discourage against ad blockers, but its important that those ads don't become a nuisance

Have observed that site admins always try to make sure that displayed ads are only placed in some targeted aspects of the website so they don't distract members.

Well that shows they are considerate of their visitors but unfortunately not all websites employ this method some ads infact do seem like a distraction in some sites

Not all the ads you see on these forums you're talking about are actually paid to click ads. Some of the ads are there because they had to be displayed by Google for their advertisers and this is what brings revenue to the forums

True tho, some of the ads you see on forums, if not majority of them are usually a means of bringing revenue. I have even seen a case whereby the forum displays certain ads for their sponsors
