Compatible XF 2.x versions 2.0
XF 2.0 has a lot of new positions for your ads. Twenty-four to be precisely!
Below you will find visual templates to help you choose the best location for your ads.

You will also find some tips I use to monetize my forum. I would love to start a discussion over here with other forum admins to share your opinions.

Guests vs. Members

Ask yourself: Do you really want to show ads to your precious members?
Your members are the people who keep your forum alive, they are your forum! Do you want to annoy them with ads or should you reward them with an ad free experience?

I did some a/b tests on my forum for a long time and came to the conclusion that the ad revenue from guests was a lot higher compared to regular members. This made me decide to only show ads to our guests. Members can visit the forum totally ad free.

These positions should do very well. Please share your results!
