Solution #1 - Google Adwords. We utilize Google "AdSense" throughout our entire network to display ads. You will need a Google "AdWords" account in order to show your ads on our network. Once you have your Google Adwords account set up, you can begin to "TARGET" our sites with your ads. Each forum displays ads in very specific locations. Each of which is targetable! This allows you to choose "where" to show your ads on our pages. Your Google AdWords account let's you even specify "when" your ads will show on our network.
This is how it works. I will use www.NitroForumZ.com as an example.
First, lets see where our ads are displayed, then we will show you exactly how to target them! (Reference images are below.) Please note that all of our ad locations will display text AND/OR flash movie ads.
The first ad you see on tha page is our 300 x 250 Rectangle. The red text is it's description used for targeting in your adwords account. nitroforumz.com » ALL PAGES,Top center It displays on all pages at the top center location.
The next two are 728x90 Leaderboards. nitroforumz.com >> All Thread Listings,Middle Center They display on all pages that list individual threads. After the 5th and 15th threads.
The next two ad locations are similar to the Thread Listing ads above, except they display on all Post Listing Pages. The first is a 300 x 250 medium rectangle, and the second is a 768x60 banner located in the reply box. nitroforumz.com >> Post Listing Pages,Middle Center nitroforumz.com » Post Listing Pages, Bottom center
So now that you know where our ads are. How do you target them? Simple! Once you have your AdWords account set up, you will need to create a new "Site Targeted Ad Campaign". Once you have that set up and named, go to "Add Sites". On the Site Tool page select the "List URLs" option and enter the address of whichever of our sites you wish to "Target". Leave off the "www." from the beginning. So for our Nitro Forum, you would enter nitroforumz.com
Once this is done, click "Get Available Sites" and you will have a bunch of sites pop up. Look for our listings that are the same as the ones listed in red above. When you have found the one you want, click "add" to the right of the listing. When finished adding sites, click "Add Selected Sites".Now you are ready to bid on your ad which will appear in the selected location on our site.
If you enter a dollar amount and find that your ads are not appearing on our site as expected, this means you have not bid high enough for your ads to appear. You will need to adjust your bid higher until they begin to show.
This is a pretty good tutorial on how to get started advertising on our Network using Google Adwords. If you have any other questions or problems, please contact Google Adwords Support directly! They will be very happy to help you configure your account to target our sites. We are unable to assist you beyond this tutorial.
