I have been running a local European car forum for the last few years. It has grown pretty well and is now the largest and most active Euro Car enthusiasts forum in NY. I can't post links but the site is dubsinthebuff . com/forum

I haven't done too much as far as ad's go except putting up some google ads above the forums.

My stats are pretty good (uniques):

Jun 2006 6917
Jul 2006 13014
Aug 2006 5901

I get from 1 click to a max of 8 clicks a day on the ad's. I don't think my CTR has ever gone past .3%

What gives? Any idea's?

The relevance is kind of off... maybe passats are relevent, but i dont know of many people in that agegroup that would even consider them... for every ad i got "passat" in each. Meta tags?

I would put images above the images like the mustang forums (forgot the url).

I would also include ads as a post.

I want to try to get the images above the ads like on the mustang forums. I just haven't figured that out yet.

I also had text links randomly inserted between posts but absolutely no one clicked on them.

Just make an image in paint that is the same width as the ads, and insert them in a table or somthing above the ads.

Plus some have success with default blue links, try that, it doesn't work for me though.
