Read up on it - you can apply similar techniques to Google AdSense by varying color and placement. And always use Google AdSense channels to do A/B testing.

>>now how do i urge the users to click on the ADS plese give me a word of advice.....
A sure-fire way to lose all 800 members is to tell them they have to click on the adds. If you did that to me when I joined your site you would never see me again.

Don't PM me with questions -- you might get a nasty PM in response. If you have a question then post it in one of the forums.

Good advice by Dani.
One thing I would note, though, is that forums are notoriously difficult to monetise. After all, people are there to join the discussion, not to buy things. It's the buyers that you need to be targetting with PPC ads.
If you're getting a lot of impressions on your pages without many clicks, then check out advertising schemes where you get paid per impression - do a search for 'CPM advertising network' or something similar, there are lots out there. Might work a bit better.
As is always the case with making money out of a site, you need to test, test and do some more tests. Colours, positioning, blended ads, non-blended ads, CPM, CPA, popups, interstatials, etc. Lots of different options for you, but just keep testing. Eventually you'll find what works best for you and you'll be wiser for it.
good luck.

I suppose you could try image ads (force only images to be displayed) maybe some flashy image ads would be more welcome for clicks
But definetelly as mentioned before, I think forum people are not "clickers"

At the end of the day there's no difference between what you're doing an click fraud. I'm pretty sure Dani wouldn't advocate that.

I have though the feeling that google knows to discount a click that the user just jumps back to the originating page immediatelly, so maybe your clicks are not really resulting to $$

But yes, if it's flowing with text, it can work. That's why you see AdSense ads throughout on many sites and blogs.
