What is your biggest source of income?

What is the biggest source of income for your forums? For me it is the Yahoo Publisher Network. The next biggest source of revenue would have to be Tribal Fusion followed by Kontera In-Text Advertising.

A site specific CPM program

1 - Google AdSense
2 - Private advertisers
3 - Ad agencies

Google Adsense is my only source of income right now. I'll be seeking private advertisers very soon, and I'm thinking about adding intellitext for guests.

**BikeForums** · 02-12-2007, 01:54 PM

In order: Adsense, Affiliate Links, Upgraded members, Direct ad sales.

**ridinhighspeeds** · 03-20-2007, 05:21 PM

Adsense and text-link-ads. I should try the Yahoo Publishing Network or even CPM based ads.

**jw00dy** · 05-08-2007, 09:40 PM

I only run Adsense, but I can tell you it's certainly not going to pay any bills any time soon...

Which is why I'm here, I'm going to broaden my horizons.

My biggest source of income is a hack I created. So far 5 people have bought it.

**Brandon Sheley** · 05-11-2007, 12:58 PM

My biggest source on the net would have to be from working on vBulletin sites.
I make enough from ad's and banners on this site to pay my hosting for All my sites. I use about 50% of the money I make from the web work and put it toward promoting all my sites.

Harmor, only 5 ? And I`m one of them

If I lived down in Porto Rico, maybe I could offer this.

**ICY ICE** · 05-28-2007, 07:31 PM

Very nice money in diving, I organize charters to the backside of catalina island(advance diving). Not many shop do it due to the amount of Advance divers that they have access too. Those trips are always a sell out. I'm starting to do one every month; we'll see how it goes.

Almost above 10 posts......LOL

**cajunboy2208** · 05-28-2007, 11:09 PM

Right now no income. I disabled ads for now. I plan on redesigning my site thanks to VBS! =)
So, once that happens, I will be mainly driven on donations probably. And see how that goes... if not well, I will go back to ads.

**AzzidReign** · 05-31-2007, 10:08 PM

How do you guys get accepted to Tribal Fusion...doesn't their terms say no forums? Unless you are running it on a non forum site...?

Anyways, most of my income comes from Adsense right now. I'm also using VibrantMedia's IntelliTxt which has paid for my server each month ($300+/month) up until recently...I've had a big drop in clicks on it...time to change the color of the text. :P

fimc2007 · 06-01-2007, 03:52 AM

Internet is the Reliable & Biggest source

**Luigi** · 10-08-2007, 08:18 PM

I'm just a fledgling site, but I hope the members will support the site with donations later on. Right now the income comes from my pocket.

**Yogesh Sarkar** · 10-09-2007, 12:27 AM

At this moment the only form of advertisements on my forum is Google Adsense and its doing relatively good. Did try Contera for a while but ended up taking it off.

**Michael Biddle** · 10-09-2007, 08:10 AM

My biggest source of income is my two jobs..lol. I do not make any money from my sites.

**matt2** · 10-17-2007, 06:07 PM

Just wondering to the first poster of this thread on how much you are roughly earning from Tribal on a cpm basis or how much you were roughly earning when you created this thread.
