View Full Version : Banners for low traffic forums?

I'm considering starting a games related forum, and was wondering if any of you knew of an ad company that will allow their (targetted) banners to be added to a startup forum.

Traffic will initially be low, and I don't want any popups, which narrows the choices quite a bit I would think.

In my favour, the site will use my own domain and be on a paid hosting package.

CPC, CPM or a mixture of both are equally acceptable, but I'd prefer that they handled the ad rotation. I'm only looking to earn enough to pay for the hosting rather than make a fortune.

The main reason I'm asking now - rather than when traffic picks up - is that I don't want to suddenly "spring" ads on visitors later.

http://www.allclicks.com is pay per click, i don't think they have a minimum traffic requirement, but i think they just dropped their price per click :(

I think minimum payout is $25

That site doesn't appear to offer targetted banner advertisements - all their links lead to a single search engine, and they don't seem too fussy about how you (mis)represent them.

I'd rather not mislead my visitors, and I'd prefer advertisements for multiple (related) sites and services in any case.

I wouldn't be likely to earn much revenue by linking to the same unrelated site from every page.

It might work for some people, but not for me.
