Monetizing forum traffic

People always tend to tell that forum traffic is junk and that it can't be converted well. I followed the deep adsense integration that I posted on DP a few weeks back, which yielded decent result.

Who ever said that you can't beat a lot of sales out of forum traffic as well? I recently was invited into a private affiliate program of a large fashion store, decided to give it a shot and pushed traffic their way.

Needless to say, I was very surprised by the results.



The next day, similar results:



Give PPS programs a shot on your forum, and you may be surprised about the traffic quality afterall.

I have been tempted for a while to use this google ad integration. I may try it on one forum and see how it does.

Which of those columns shows how much money you made? Is it the 2009.79 one? Thousands of dollars in one day? That sounds pretty good to me.

Yeah, I sent GBP 34k in sales to the store, 8% of that give the commission in the next column.

It's a drastic increase in my earnings, I had completely neglected the PPS model on my forum because I, too, used to believe that forum traffic was total sh*t for pay-per-sale programs.

For those that have no clue what "deep adsense integration" or vBulletin is, here is the original link at vb.org

Pay-Per-Sale. Get paid a fixed amount or % of a sale you refer to a program. You know...

Sorry, term I use from my days in adult. PPS vs. revshare, that was always the chicken/egg question.
