PPC or Affiliate program? Which will work or more successful for forum site? I heard that PPC is not really good for forum site as it has low CTR. But how about affiliate program? Anyone can share your experience?

Whichever you use, you need to have targeted traffic. Also ads need to be placed on relevant pages; otherwise, you can't really make any money. Personally, I find that using PPC is easier, since I don't really have to place ads on relevant pages; PPC providers do that for me.

You got the point. Yes, you are right, PPC is the easier way. Thanks for pointing this out.
BTW, Do you start with Google AdSense at the beginning or wait a while until your forum get steady traffic then only integrate it into your forum?

| I actually find affiliate ads bring in more money. One action makes me $1.50, where one 'click' is only 10 cents at best. I don't have ads on my forum, but I have both PPC and affiliate ads on my main site. |

I personally think that you should accumulate a couple of thousand posts at least before you start placing ads. I have other forums, and one of them has over 10k posts; I have not placed any ad on this forum yet. I will probably wait a little longer.

Affiliates have not been good on my gaming forums. PPC pays more.

That suprises me!
Any gaming site I've ever owned has only pulled in 10 cent clicks at the most.

True, the PPC amount is low but it still beats zero gained from affiliates that I've tried.

Affiliate program works really really well, when you have very targeted traffic. You can potentially make more than PPC. However, if that's not the case, then PPC generally works better.
