| Good place to put ads? I am currently running xanthom.com ad-free, which i don't mind getting nothing in re-turn apart from the community, as that is what i first set out to do, but it would be nice to try and earn what ever i can off the site. I don't want the ads to be instrusive, and i don't want them to see the ads first thing, could you give me some tips on where i could put some ads, but without it looking messy. My site is Xanthom Designs - Where Innovation Meets Design - also, with the forums aswell.. Anyone know any ad companies that pay well, that they are currently using, i have applied for adsense.

And as i said, i don't want them to view the ad as soon as they go on the site/board - but i still want it in a good place so that it does actually bring something in.

Join Date: Feb 2006 Posts: 1,321 Location: Delaware Recent Blog: French say they need biggest condoms | i understand and in my experience theres not really a good place below the fold that gets a lot of clicks. best you can do is attempt to pretty up the placement above the fold is you want to get some revenue. my sidebars almost never get clicked. the banner under first post doesnt really. the ad inside first post for guests does a little bit but thats more intrusive. and ad in the thread list used to get clicks. and just to clarify registered members on my site see no ads (except auction ads, they like those...lol) | ||||

| I don't want it to be to intrusive on the members, it can be a little intrusive to guests, I'll have a little mess around when i get accepted for Adsense, and see what it looks like. +Rep for your help

Members don't (or rarely ever) click ads. So it's better to smack the guests with the good placement, get clicks, and let them know "If you register these ads go away" It's a win win IMO you get clicks you get registrations your members aren't spammed | ||||

| If you aren't going to go for Caddyman's idea I think a 768x90 ad under the navbar could perform pretty well. But I do think his placement is a great idea.

Put the ad in an if statement to ensure that the ads are only visible to guests. | ||||
