not much chatting for a "big" general chat forum, the member to post ratio is dismal...

traffic stats are really what is needed to be able to tell you/your friend what things can be done to increase revenue...

2 things

The Viet forums ads are blocked by firefox which is likely reducing revenue.

The English forum has adbrite which should be replaced with google since noone is running on your site through adbrite.

First off they won't be able to run Adsense on there, its a warez site and Google will ban his account almost immediately.

If you are going to be running Adbrite, you should be running contextual ads, not banner ads. Also you need to ad them in more then just once place, 1 in the header and 1 in the footer is not going to get it done.

If you need to find more revenue sources, starting promoting ringtones, products on eBay, Amazon, something besides just Adbrite. There are multiple ways to raise money. If your getting over 100,000 impression a day, it shouldn't be a problem making that amount ($400.00) every month.

On a side note, I never understand why people start forums and not think to themselves, what happens if I get to big? This is a prime example of why you should always have some type of plan in place.

True, didn't take enough time to actually look at the content on his forum, just saw the "advertise here" by adbrite.

Think about the community too, if you cant afford to host it then sell it to someone who can or get help to monetize it better..

with the alexa the site has got and the # of members you should be banking some cash, way more than $150. set up a special usergroup and get donations or do a subscription. depending on the loyalty of the membership you may be able to bring in a good deal of $$.

Something like, you can't download x unless you are a paid subscriber and make the sub only a few dollars (or whatever currency) or certain forums that people need are only available to subscribers.

lots of ways to make some money with that much traffic

There are currently 260 users browsing EuphoricArythmia.com.

I have been online for four months. I use shared hosting but it's actually more of a limited shared hosting. Unlimited bandwidth/disk space. My server load averages NEVER go over 1%.
I have great support and they always respond minutes after I submit a ticket. I pay $24.95 a month.

Now, if it ever gets to the point where I need the next level, I go to $89.95 a month.

I have no ads on my site.Get enough donations/subscriptions to more than cover server costs. I REFUSE to use ads.
