Hello everyone. I was just going through some adsense policies but i did clearly understand some and that is why am asking whether it would be appropriate to use adsense in the following sites.

I have the following
1.business forum
2.a community discussion forum(for my country)
3. i offer free hosting services which in turn i put ads on the many sites i host.
I do also have a website but i think that has no issue. am only concerned with the three above. kindly assist.
Thanks in advance

        Hi,

        Try selling your own space, in your forum. for example sidebar banners, header banners, etc...

        Charge based on the forum quality and the number of visitors

        Cheers,

    Yes you can also if is more difficult monetyze forum.
    However there are some strategies you can apply, i.g.
    banner's dimension, colors, shape and placement.

    Try 336 x 280, header (#0000CC), text (#000000) and links (#666666).

    All of these are going to be extremely hard to monetize with Adsense.

    Discussion Forums alone are VERY hard to make money from with ads because people are there to discuss stuff. Given a lot of traffic is repetitive, their "banner blinders" are on, and eCPMS are pure crap. They may start high, but as advertisers optimize their placements, they're going to eventually eliminate your forum for poor performance.

    If you're going to start a forum, I suggest charging a monthly fee for access using Amember and Xenforo.

    Offering free web hosting and serving ads is also another VERY difficult way to make money. The majority of your customers are going to be using your service for malicious purposes that could even crash your server quickly. Therefore if you're going to go the web hosting route, I would suggest charging for sure.

    As per as your websites comply with Adsense policies you can use them for Adsense. Otherwise not.
