How hard is it for gun forums to bring in enough money to pay their bills?
I know, some are run with no ads at all, by choice.
how busy does a forum need to be before companies will pay for banner ads?
Lately I've noticed some major gun forums using "paid memberships" to raise funds. But those same major forums have substantial traffic, and lots of ads on their pages.
Also, there is a gun forum (falfiles) that limits viewing to registered members, but it has ads on its pages.
I thought more traffic was better, when a site had advertisements.
Is there some point of diminishing returns, where more traffic isn't "worth it" ?
