My forum is so much better than GFY!!! - GoFuckYourself.com

TripleXPrint · 11-21-2007, 10:18 PM

But I'm not going to post a link because it be against the rules of the GFY Gods.

My forum is mainstream (sports related and a very tight minor league niche') but it still has 5,600 members, 53,338 threads, and 1,235,239 posts. The question I have is HOW IN THE HELL DO I MAKE MONEY FROM IT!?!?!?

It is driving me absolutely mad! I have tried AdSense and the most I have ever gotten on a good day was $373.34. That isn't bad but based on the traffic vs. click-through; it sucks a big fat throbbing dick! I understand that a forum doesn't have a lot of unique traffic but based on my reports I am getting about an equal amount of uniques vs. return IPs. I have roughly 85k-95k clicks a day but can't figure out how to make any fucking money off it! Soliciting advertisers is out of the question seeing how it is such a small niche' and even the parent league isn't willing to spend a dime on promotions.

So if you own or run a forum and know how to make money from it please let me know! If you require payment that isn't an issue! I will be more than willing to pay for your consultation services.

$373 a day and you're complaining? $10k a month is pretty good, you should be happy.

TripleXPrint · 11-21-2007, 10:26 PM

Damn, GFY is slow tonight! I imagined that I would have had at least 5 "BANNED" responses based on the thread title alone.

tony286 · 11-21-2007, 10:27 PM

fi your not workin it hard over $300 a day isnt bad.

Removed the chicken fucking pic.

That was a RECORD DAY...nowhere near the best. That was probably a bad example. On average I'm doing about $55-$65 a day. I just used a big number to make me feel better about myself and influence how much you guys respected me.

justFred · 11-21-2007, 10:29 PM

it's a ..... forum.

forums are free to use.

that limits you to ----> advertising. so sell banners and stick with the adsense.

and no.... your forum isn't better than GFY! sports? EWW.

baddog · 11-21-2007, 10:30 PM

I'd like to talk to you

can you make this a little clearer?

do you mean you are getting 85k pageviews a day?

How many unique visitors are you getting per day.... how much unique google traffic are you getting per day?

dont worry, he's 37 years old, and its vintage content, he was doing a stop motion science experiment on hitting a slider... he swings both ways.

Baddog, do you think you might know how to monetize on such forum? I have a similar situation on my end. Would I be able to get an advice or pointers from you?

xroach · 11-21-2007, 11:01 PM

find a sportsbook that takes bets on your league and get a percentage of loss affiliate deal going

Well, we have a rather large mainstream network of forums.

pornask · 11-21-2007, 11:07 PM

are they doing good for you?

If you think you might have good advice as to where a guy is to go to monetize on such traffic and if you were willing to share at some reasonable price (or maybe in exchange for the cut from profits), I'd love to hear what you have to offer.

The forums are a small part of a much larger operation. To be honest, at this point we do nothing but spend money. But it takes money to make the money it will generate.

I might give you the advice for something as simple as a link. Would have to see what you have. But I am not talking about it here.

My contact info is all over if you click my sig.

Tomorrow probably won't be the best day. Try Friday.

Happy Thanksgiving.
