Not very much.........But I don't use adsense very much on the forum as of last week.

I have yet to make the first $100.00 and my forum is 8 months.

We are pretty much the same. We started using to to help with our server bills, domain bills etc (we have two servers) and quickly found that it covered all our costs with a bit to spare, so we run a few competitions every so often.

Also if you have pages with very different content, ads tend to be scattered and not really targeted, you can help by adding the code adsense has to ignore parts of pages, blocks etc. In a forum now gone I managed to have better results this way. And it is a combination of many traffic and well placed ads (overlay trick is really good) and help adsense to show best... and then hope people click.

Talking to a freind today about adsense
i found that he was not channeling his
adds propely.

To make myself clear say your site
has to do with cars.
Ok your members love cars but who says
that they dont like phones.

so would you not use phones as a channel too
it like offering you member something else other
them cars .

So the words you use to channel adds to your
site should be adds that your members would like
too see and to click on.

I thought i would share this with you all
as i said if my freind didnt know this
maybe others don,t either.

Afaik you can't decide what ads to show on a site. Bigger sites have the ability to suggest a keyword (needs approval from your adsense manager) but other than that it just takes content from the page and tries to guess what the subject is.

Using channels on adsense just means you can keep track of where you're displaying your ads. I.e. I have a channel for my top ad, left ad, 300x250 ad, link unit so I can track performance of each.

here is the link to the tag section related to adsense

use it wisely, I used it in the past to get get better results on page like cmps that have many titles and useless words for adsense. It tends to show more related content to titles then to the posts. Use the tags to clean out the page so adsense only 'looks' to the postbits and not the surrounding text

Well lets see I spoke to a friend who explained to me how to use channels... Hopefully I have some better results. Im also sure that a lot of it has to do with traffic the more traffic the more clicks. I dont have that much traffic on my forum on a steady basis.
