We have received some mails from both potential customers as well as from phpFox clients in regards to how to make money with your phpFox sites. Here are some ideas to help you monetize your social networking site:

User-targeted site advertisement

There are several ways in making money from your social networking site. One of the major methods is to create ads on your site, from Google AdSense or by someone sponsoring an ad space on your site to get your members attention.

With the new phpFox version (v2) you can create ads based on:

• clicks
• impressions
• user group/membership type
• location
• gender
• age
• module placed ad(which module you want the ad to show on)

You can located your ads or banners on different blocks on your site, for example; you can have an ad at the top right of your site or at the very bottom by easily choosing this in a setting. To choose the block location you go to your AdminCP and by a few clicks you've targeted your ads with your preference!
