I currently have a forum which attracts about 2.000 unique visitors/month, 500 active daily users en about 100 readers. Where can you start with advertising? Where do you have to search to start a program? Can someone hook me up?

One side note: No Google Adsense.

You could always start with this post! Sorry idk how to advertise, but I wanna see your forum!

The forum is in Dutch but I respect the "no hotlinking" rule. More info can be obtained via PM.

I had problems with Adsense in the beginning. Thanks for the Microsoft link.

Consider donations and/or subscriptions instead. It helps confidence (only people who actually find your site useful, will subscribe), longer periods allow you to manage budget more efficiently and not worry about unreliable loads, ads serving malware and users blocking. Forum is about mutual respect not about pouring raw sewage on people's heads, because, e.g., server costs are too high - or pure greed as it happens. Ads suck.

      $80 or 90%, anything else would be financial suicide one way or another.

      Or... just use Bitwarden. Free, and has on-prem option as well. Works both on desktop and mobile, wherever you are. The age of local password files is over.

      I actually got to use one of those so called "backup codes" once. It was for a customer, I choose the backup code option, and by the grace of god, they actually hade them printed out. Imagine my surprise, when after using the backup code, Google then told use we had to enter a code they just sent to the gmail address we currently did not have access to. I was not amused, Google backup codes should be the end all get out of jail free card, because you had to have access to the account to even get them.

      On the topic of being locked out of a service. Recently two different friends of mine got locked out of their Google accounts. Both were hack attempts and one of them is waiting 30 days before he can get back in. He had backup codes and MFA but not a passkey. It was a browser token hack. Anyhow he has to wait 30 days for the dispute or whatever to end. The other person only had a password and is screwed losing all of the email, docs and years of photos. Google won’t help her at all. Her fault because she had no backup/recovery setup. Enable passkeys if possible. Also do NOT use browser based password managers. If using a cloud service make sure it is one you can fully sync to one of your devices so you can back it up. Like a PC or Mac with some backup drive plugged into it. Google is the worst to use IMHO. You can’t sync your photos at all. You have to use the “Take Out” service which is manual and takes days. That service strips the meta data from your photos. Also Google Docs synced to a device are useless without a Google accounts. MS Office/Libre Office is not going to open a link to a Google doc to a dead account.
