If you were starting a new forum, at one point would you start placing advertising space...in terms of uniques and/or pageviews and what advertising method would you use?
Ive started with adbrite and clickbank, because I know adsense doesnt work so well on forums...well at least thats what ive heard.
At what point should i approach advertising networks and start selling banner impressions? and what ones take entertainment based sites.

It's really up to you. IMO, you should have at least 5k posts before you start placing any ad.

Personally I would show ads right from the start.
That way you won't upset any existing members if you ad them later on.
Just don't expect to earn anything in the start :p
But to sell advertising space (not with something like adsense) you'll have to get a good amount of traffic or have a high pagerank. |

That's a good point. You don't want to add 10 ads all of the sudden. You want to place ads so that existing members feel pretty comfortable.

Placing adsense ads at first is alright, but you won't get any customers from really low stats. I usually wait until I have a lot of posts and members. (pagerank helps too)  |

When you say "lots of posts", how many?

| Atleast 4k. Customers usually look at stats anyways (Uniques, hits, visitors, etc...) |

Ok, now how much value does it by itself?
