I had a spectacular January 2007, 1.5x increase in revenue followed by a mediocre February.

Google optimization suggests embedding the Adsense directly into the forum postings in order to increase views and clicks. Doesn't seem like there is anyone around to talk about this other than you and I.

Jeff,

My December was off the charts and all because of the 3/4 million PVs per month I get on my most popular forum. Until late November I hadn't been displaying any ads on that forum.

I don't know how to embed into the posts and, knowing how much I hate stuff like that, I don't think my forum members would be too happy.

I've decided to put forum stats and other content islands along the right side of my forum and mix in smaller Adsense ads. I have all my ads coded so I know what pulls and what doesn't.

It's trial and error but when it works right it's REALLY good money!

The adsense tower ads were displaying a dial soap ad for almost the entire month. We have no idea where the content for that was coming from, but it was a total bust.

I don't know why Groupee folks don't take notice to this topic. If we can monetize the forums, we can advertise them more, grow our service plans, etc.

This seems to fall on deaf ears.
