			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As you all might know, forum is very hard to monetize, because people usually visit regularly. Regular visitor has low CTR, because them know where the ads are and tend to ignore it. But there are ways to overcome this:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Sell banner space</strong>. You can place the banner at the top, left, or right of your forum. You can offer the space for people who are participating in the forum. The revenue from selling banner space depends on how much traffic you have.</li>
<li><strong>Use <a href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/landing_both.php?spid=97657&#038;afb=468x60-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">Adbrite</a></strong>, they works great in forums. Adbrite works on high traffic website, like forum, humor, and games.</li>
<p><a href="http://www.adbrite.com/mb/landing_both.php?spid=97657&#038;afb=468x60-2"><br />
<img src="http://files.adbrite.com/mb/images/468x60-2.gif" border="0"></a></p>
<li><strong>Charge fee for exclusive member area</strong>. You can share your knowledge at this special member area. If you can provide them with helpful information, monthly subscription will last long.</li>

</ul>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I got spam on my forum. It is an old forum, and I do not have time to upgrade it. From my web statistic, the spammers seems to come from 193.53.87.95 and 193.53.87.93. I tried setting my forum, to block these IPs. But it does not seems to be working.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m going to try redirect the visitor from that IP to my other forum filled with spam. Here&#8217;s the code:</p>
<div>
<table class="ex" style="width: 419px; height: 192px;" border="1" cellspacing="0" width="519">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td>
<pre><strong>&lt;?php
ob_start();
$visitor = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
if (preg_match("/</strong>193.53.87.95<strong>/",$visitor) </strong></pre>
<pre><strong>|| preg_match("/</strong>193.53.87.93<strong>/",$visitor)) </strong></pre>
<pre><strong>{
      header('Location: </strong><a href="http://www.destination.com'"><strong>http://www.destination.com'</strong></a><strong>);
}
ob_get_clean();
?&gt;</strong></pre>
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Have you ever got spam posts on your forum. Surely yes. Deleting members will not help. One effective way is to block IP, especially if your forum is intended for local people. When an IP or hostname is banned, your board&#8217;s content will be blocked from any connection coming from that IP. If you are using phpbb, you can by IP to ban in your administrator. Simply enter the IP address or hostname to ban and Save. To specify multiple IPs, you may separate the multiple entries with commas (,). For instance, to ban the IP 193.53.87.95, and 193.53.87.93 you would enter 193.53.87.95, 193.53.87.93.</p>
<p>To ban a range of IPs, use -(hyphen) (e.g. 193.53.87.95-124). I prefer using the wildcard *(asterisk). It will match any characters, so to ban all IPs that begin with 193.53, use 193.53.*.*</p>
