I was looking to buy some PPC ads, but I don't have a high budget, nor do I want to waste much $. Anyone know of a low cost PPC service that will bring reasonable results (to a forum)? Let's say the budget is $100, would I be better off using a different service instead.

Go to ABC Search or Miva as well.

Bidvertiser seems to work for me best.

I'd say Miva, although it has apparently gone down in standard over the past few years.

I would say it all depends on the theme of your website and the price of the keywords on that theme....though as of now yahoo and Meva.

Though Meva's standard has gone down in the past days....

Personally I would say that advertising a forum is a total waste of time and money if your forum is new and there is no members or hardly any memebers and posts.

The $100 would be better spent on paying people to sign up and post for you just so that the forum looks more active.

Once you have made the forum have quite a few members and posts then it would be a better idea to start advertising as there is more of a chance that people will start to signup once they see that the forum is quite active compared to what they would have if they were there when the forum was not all that active.

I agree with john546. Start advertising that you will pay 5 cents for every post made in your forums or something like that. That will drive people on your board and active members.

There are alot of people that will want to earn 5 cents per post aswell. You can also tell them that you will only pay for posts that are a certain amount of characters in length. This will prevent them from just posts a few words in each post.

No it won't.

It will get you a few idiots who post one line pointless answers which repeat the same thing over and over again such as "get more links" "PR is important", "When is the next update" etc etc.
