    The most revenue I've ever made was $827 and that was all thanks to adsense. I'm not sure if I can top these earnings one day, but its a good goal to have.

    How about you? What's the most revenue you've made in one year?

    I made 8,764.72 last year in adsense. I dont know if its the most ever but it was a good year as far as adsense goes :).. Though if we are talking anything.. I made closer to 40K online last year from every project and what not.. It was prolly my best online year without poker. When online poker was legal I used to make a lot more :)

    Just ads? Not a whole lot probably $4k that's mostly from private advertising deals. @Cerberus, I have to pick your brain about Adsense one of these days. :)

    Ehm is that it?

    This is the 4th year I made more than 100000 euro with one forum. And this is a Dutch (Netherlands) only forum. Why do you guys relay on AdSense so much?

    Congrats on making over 100K (USD) off your forums, what do you do to monetize it and whats the URL?
    For me personally, I've never made a forum to just make money and generally don't run any ads on my sites.
    I have a full time job that pays well, my websites are and will always be a hobby for me. :)

    But ok. This also started as a hobby project but as you can see things can run out of hand. That's in 100000+ in EURO's btw and every year.

    What do I do? Well forget about AdSense and stuff like that. You need to connect with the companies that your niche forum is all about. Yes it's a niche forum, the only forums that will survive the next few years in my opinion.

    Why can't I edit my own posts? After I post I see errors which I can't correct. :)

    I use a converter to USD, that's why I added "USD" to my post ;)
    post merged and you'll be able to edit your post once you're in the active user group.

    so you wont share the forum url? that's fine, either way congrats and I wish you the best

    I will share it but not open on the forum for Google to spider. If you want to know just send me a pm. :)

    I have to agree with the new guy. Welcome aboard DB! While I didn't start my DJ board to make a profit nor do I make a large profit now (due to my exclusivity clause now dropped for 2012) but connecting with brick and mortar companies outside of Adsense/affliate sales made me more money than by signing 1 than Adsense did in 6 months. In fact this year I'll be showing Adsense to guests way under my advertisers though.

    Viglink is just bonus money to me. I don't actively pimp Amazon/other affiliate links on my boards. If someone happens to link and someone clicks and buys it's nice that's monetized.

    Why would you not want google spidering your url?? And you can easily block google with an htaccess.. Is your forum something illegal??

    Yeah sounds fishy to me. Plus, if it is illegal I highly doubt he is making that much money. Specially without being listed in Google.

    I would have to say my maximum online revenue in one year has been about $500; not much when you look at the big picture, but I know this year will be better. I have expanded my horizons and am working toward increasing that revenue at least ten-fold. :)

    (I tried to edit my message but it wouldn't let me.) I must add the income stated is from revenue shares, Adsense and a variety of small freelancing projects in 2011. I will say Adsense was NOT my top earner. I anticipate a better revenue stream this year, and am already on my way to securing a passive income which could potentially earn me several hundred dollars per year.

    Hey thanks for posting this thread. I'm new to forums and am currently running adsense. As this is my first year I'm not really sure what to expect in terms of revenue. Thanks for sharing. Though i'm not really sure about the 100K annually website, would be nice for everyone to know what the site is :)

    Online poker is still legal, it's just illegal to operate in the US, but not illegal to be a customer.

    I only made about $900 all time on the internet(not including poker), but if you include poker then I made about $1200 last year playing poker.
