Secret is very know. High quality content and users. If advertisers see good content it means members know programs, learn about it and there is bigger chance they will join program or make good review about it.
There are sections in which you will see so much of spam so its not 100% spam free

Hoping RIF could have may ads to support the site. Let's also hope no spam to happen if there's spam sighted it's better to report it. It causes site's destructions.
I believe many reasons for low rate of engagements in forums is due to the fact that the pay from the sites are no longer as they were before and which is due to reduced number of online advertisers paying to be advertised on the sites which is one of the ways the sites make money to pay those engaging in it.

There are so many forums dying and others are already dead and will never have the chance to resurrect like Post Bucks. I was a member f that wonderful site, but it is so sad, the site owner has not sustained his business. He sold it to another forum site which also stopped paying people. There will be many reasons only they know well.

Let us hope RIF stays strong. I'll upgrade my account tomorrow. I only lack 2 dollars to qualify the pay, but I'm inspired of what you said that I can pay it once accumulate 10 dollars.
The truth is that advertisers target sites with good contents to advertise and maximize the revenue of the site. Low contents kill paid to post forums. And when revenue is low, site shuts down paid posting.
Yup it's hard for forums to make money many forums quit because of the low revenue and that's normal I guess that's why need to support other forums
An Italian friend of mine says it's social network fault. He says average people prefer by far to hang up to Facebook, Instagram, etc., in spite of they don't pay a single penny, no mind how much quality their posts have. And I think is right. Then culture comes: for ex., in south Europe, average people consider the classic 9 to 5 offline jobs as the true job and they prefer to hang up to the traditional socials in their free time. In Latin America, there is a worse issue: here average people are simply unfamiliar with technology and haven't the least idea how to manage to participate to a paid to post forum. Worse, a very few people speak English and this is a huge obstacle for them.

There are many reasons why a forum site dies or struggles. One of them is the ads it might be they're paying only in few cents. These ads will generate income through the traffic the forum generates which is why necessary to have appealing posts posts.
It will be best if most of us who post daily can upgrade as it will also help in supporting the website

Thankful I decided to upgrade last night and it seems like magic. My avatar was changed automatically I didn't change it. It's funny.
When it comes to the number of advertisement that a forum was able to garner, it will surely be dependent on the number of years the forum was established.
