Maybe related to your niche?Got turned down about five times, gave up after that.
May I ask what niche it is? to understand if my niche is even able to do such similar subscription.You need a subscription to:
The main drivers of subscriptions are the first two though.
- Access proprietary data
- Read articles with exclusive content
- Join private groups
- Have a member blog
College and University related. We have a proprietary user created acceptance database and statistics and exclusive interviews with admissions departments.May I ask what niche it is? to understand if my niche is even able to do such similar subscription.
Both created using @Bob 's awesome add-ons btw.We have a proprietary user created acceptance database and statistics and exclusive interviews with admissions departments.
@Bob simply makes the MOST beneficial MAJOR add-ons for XF of probably any developer. The day that he decides to vacate he XF environment will be a MAJOR loss to XenForo, one that in many ways it will have an EXTREMELY hard time recovering from unless they decide t purchase the rights to those add-ons.Both created using @Bob 's awesome add-ons btw.
Yes, though we have a sophisticated custom addon which allows specific ad targeting and we have a commission based ad ops person who works solely on generating revenue from programmatic ads.Anyone here successful making money with adsense on xenforo?
I used to make spare money back in the day with adsense but it was on wordpress.
How is adsense placement fitting right into your xenforo structure? as much has to do aswell with placement and blending into the xenforo content
This.Ad rates in 2023 have tanked through the ad networks. 2022 was good. I taking very good care of my direct advertisers, because the ad networks suck right now. Very little being made.
Not here because we need the revenue from members as well. The incentive for people to register is to post messages (including in our free classified ads) and enter our competitions.Tangent: How many of you running AdSense or other ads restrict the ads to just guests? I do and this is an incentive for visitors to register an account and log in (no more ads).
Bob is the best. His add-ons are literally what makes it possible for my site to be successful and helpful to so many people. He's awesome.
Can you explain this a bit more? How does it work? I've never heard of it, sounds interesting!bigfooty uses prebid.org coding, and AdSense is their remnant fill.

We do that on a couple of forums--not a big source of income but even that trickle is better than anything I'd ever gotten from AdSense. We also had VigLink (which is now Sovrn) but that has trailed away to almost nothing now as well. Ad blockers are blocking most of these things, especially since Sovrn seems to be stuffing more weirdness into what they are posting on our sites. I think Sovrn even disconnected us from eBay, since eBay kept whining that we didn't have a disclosure notice exactly the way they wanted it. Screw 'em--I'm trying to send sellers their way, not provide unpaid advertising to them. Their loss, not ours.The only ads I would likely do now would be things like Amazon, and that is specific to communities where having links to products is valuable for the user, rather than a source purely to make money.
Yeah, it's not worth it for most sites, unless you know you will get a lot of links posted. One site it's being used on has a lot of computer parts or accessory links posted, and a future project is based around cooking and will link to a lot of ingredients. I recipe website I know makes about 10x more from Amazon links than they do from the ads on their site, but they also specifically link to products that earn them good commissions.We do that on a couple of forums--not a big source of income but even that trickle is better than anything I'd ever gotten from AdSense.

One forum that some of us used to frequent in one of our niches has become so overbearing with ads that it is driving long-time members away. The company running the ads for the site owner literally plasters ads over the XF interface at times, and makes the forum impossible to read. It's better if a person logs in, but even there, the ad company is constantly adjusting how the ads display and issues are constant. I won't even visit that forum anymore, even though the ad blocker takes care of most of it. Too many ads will chase visitors away.
I have a cooking site but it is more for family use as a recipe book. I've noticed how many cooking sites and blogs link all ingredients to online merchants, though. It has me thinking.I recipe website I know makes about 10x more from Amazon links than they do from the ads on their site, but they also specifically link to products that earn them good commissions.
