vBulletin Google Adsense Deep Integration Tutorial

This tutorial is written to show you how to use your Google Adsense codes efficiently in your vBulletin (3.5+) templates. I have a very heavily modified vBulletin style but i used the original style for this tutorial to be simple and match the colors. You can change everything as you want to find the most fitting results for your vBulletin.

Alternate ads-PSAs to Collapsible ads:

Collapsing ad units are an optional advanced feature of alternate ads. A+ the collapsing ad unit code will 'collapse' your ad unit so that it takes up no page space if there are no relevant ads available. This allows you to minimize any blank space that would otherwise occur through the use of alternate colors.

To implement the collapsing ad units feature, you'll need to host a small HTML file on your domain. Your alternate ad URL will reference this file, which will be called if there are no ads available for that particular ad unit.
http://joomla.medspan.info/forum/index.php/topic,57.0.html
(http://joomla.medspan.info/forum/index.php/topic,57.0.html)
Create a HTML file with this code and save it as collapsible_ad.html:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd ">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title></title>
<script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/google_adsense_script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body style="background-color: transparent;">
</body>
</html>

Upload this file to your web server. (http://www.yourwebsite.com/collapsible_ad.html)

Go to your Google Adsense account and grap your google_ad_client and google_ad_channel codes. (google_ad_channel is optional)

Open Notepad and paste these codes as you will change them with youradsensecode and yourchannelcode on the following steps.

We will use these there ad layouts in this tutorial:

728 x 90 Leaderboard
468 x 60 Banner
234 x 60 Half Banner

...and one link unit:

468 x 15

Note: navbar template editing step is optional because it may be against the Google Adsense rules for you. If you edit navbar template, almost all of your vBulletin pages will have Adsense ads at the top of the pages. My navbar and header templates include some flash, gif and text content and i update them regularly. It's why i use Adsense ads in navbar. You may apply this step (the ad unit) manually to your FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY, etc templates...

Open your navbar template: vBulletin AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Edit Templates > Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates > navbar

(for the link unit)

Find:

<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>
</if>
Add below:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "youradsensecode";
google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.yourwebsite.com/collapsible_ad.html";
google_ad_width = 468;

vBulletin Google Adsense Deep Integration Tutorial by NeutralizeR (http://www.msxlabs.org/forum/members/1-neutralizer.html) @ www.MsXLabs.org (http://www.MsXLabs.org)

Wow thanks man, this is a great tutorial! :D

wow, thats an awesome tutorial, thanks so much!!

Very nice thnx i wish there is install button :)

i no google is used by most forums, as there to little, but could you make a guide for targetpoint please?

I wasn't 100% that you could make a post part of Googles ad. I thought someone got in trouble for that being it looks like original content.

This is one heck of a tutorial though!

i no google is used by most forums, as there to little, but could you make a guide for targetpoint please?

You mean section targeting?


What is section targeting and how do I implement it?

Section targeting allows you to suggest sections of your text and HTML content that you'd like us to emphasize or downplay when matching ads to your site's content. By providing us with your suggestions, you can assist us in improving your ad targeting. We recommend that only those familiar with HTML attempt to implement section targeting.

To implement section targeting, you'll need to add a set of special HTML comment tags to your code. These tags will mark the beginning and end of whichever section(s) you'd like to emphasize or de-emphasize for ad targeting.

The HTML tags to emphasize a page section take the following format:

<!-- google_ad_section_start -->

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

You can also designate sections you'd like to have ignored by adding a (weight=ignore) to the starting tag:

<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->

With these tags added to your HTML code, your final code may look like the following:

<html><head><title>Section targeting</title></head>
<body>
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->

This is the text of your web page. Most of your content resides here.

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
</body>
</html>
You can use section targeting to make suggestions about as many sections of a page as you like. However, please be aware that we can't guarantee results, and that it may take up to 2 weeks before our crawlers take into account any changes you've made to your site.

In order to properly implement this feature, you'll need to include a significant amount of content within the section targeting tags. Including insufficient content may result in less relevant ads or PSAs. In addition, please keep in mind that this feature should only be used to emphasize significant sections of your site's relevant content. It is against our program policies to manipulate the ad targeting to result in ads that are not relevant to the content of your pages.

Example:

Open your FORUMHOME template: vBulletin AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Edit Templates > Forum Home Templates > FORUMHOME

Find:
<!-- main -->
$forumbits
<!-- /main -->

Replace with:
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->
<!-- main -->
$forumbits
<!-- /main -->
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

Find:
<!-- what's going on box -->

Add above:
<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->

Find:
<!-- end what's going on box -->

Add below:
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

(You can also try section targeting for your FORUMDISPLAY and SHOWTHREAD templates)

I wasn't 100% that you could make a post part of Googles ad. I thought someone got in trouble for that being it looks like original content.

This is one heck of a tutorial though!

Matching the colors and deep integrating the ads into your pages are google suggestions. The ads are stated as "Sponsored Links" or "Advertisements" so it won't be a problem.


Customize ads to complement your site.

You spend lots of time perfecting your website's look and feel, and we want AdSense to fit in. So we let you customize the appearance of your ads to fully complement your site by choosing from over 200 colors and 24 pre-set color palettes (you can create and save your own custom palettes using a simple point-and-click color selection tool.

Simply amazing. Thank you so much. :)

I personally use Yahoo Publisher, but I'm sure I can still implement everything the same.

Who wants to make this into a plug-in? :D

Good question.

I don't have enough time to do it... maybe somebody around can make it for you.

Regards

pointsless to make a plugin to my knoladge...since a plugin doesn't do template mods...

I guess...it could be some sort of plugin...but template mods would have to be made still.

I'm so sorry, but my English is too bad, i must speak own language....

NeutralizeR,

Bi iki sorum olacak sana, cevap verirsen çok memnun kalırım.
ilk başta yaptığın html dosyası ne için? O dosyanın amacı nedir? Bir de google aynı sayfada 2 reklama izin vermiyor bildiğim kadarıyla, yani header'a bir reklam koyunca aynı anda showthread'de de reklam varsa ikisinden biri gozukmuyor. Bunu nasıl aşarız? Yoksa o dosyanın amacı o mu?

Şimdiden teşekkür ederim...

Ayrıca siteni çok beğeniyorum, şu kısır zamanda en iyi rap parçaları sizden temin edebiliyorum. Bunun içinde teşekkürler..

html dosyası sayfa içeriğiyle ilgili reklam bulunamadığında reklam alanını yok etmek için kullanılıyor. Yani gereksiz yere alan kaplanmamış oluyor. Google bir sayfada maksimum üç adet reklam birimine izin veriyor. navbar, ilk mesaj, son mesaj... kural dışı bir durum söz konusu değil.

Saygılar

P.S. the questions were about collapsible ads and the ad units

thank you NeutralizeR

thanks...:)

Hi

I seem to be having trouble with the FORUMDISPLAY integration - the code seems to be working as there is a correct layout at the top of the forum, but the google adsense banner does not show.

Hi

Try removing the google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.yourwebsite.com/collapsible_ad.html"; line to test...

Remember however if you have multiple areas for which you are showing adsense on one page, but google doesn't have enough ads to fill all the spots based on your content, then that area will be blank. Give Google a little time to optimize it's ads for your content, then the ads will most likely show unless your forum content is so obscure that there are not many advertisers in that area.

Ah thanks Mark, I realised it was because I already had a landscape banner at the top. Removing it allowed the FORUMDISPLAY banner to work. :)

i can make as much of it into a plugin as possible if you guys want :)

Very useful info here, thanks for the tutorial!

great information - thanks for sharing this NeutralizeR...

I have tried out most of the ideas, and have settled on using the forumdisplay ads and the two for search results

forumdisplay is working great, but for some reason search results just comes back with collapsible ads all the time - I cut and pasted the code exactly, so can't figure out what isn't working

:) try different searches... it'll be enough to see the ads once...

everything works fine except the postbitlegacy part i inserted the code but itz not displaying?

Excellent post NeutralizeR

I have a small problem though.... For some reason no matter what I try, only one add will display on any page.. If I add a second one anywhere it will not appear..

Any idea what that might be?

EDIT: nevermind I just now saw your explaination above... Sorry I missed it before

I will wait to see if they will populate later on

Thanks for the great work with this

Excellent article, thanks alot!

If you allow search engines to spider the single versions of your posts (This post (http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showpost.php?p=928884&postcount=28), for example... showpost.php), you may want to use adsense ads on this template, too. I think you don't want to miss any possible renevue...

Open your SHOWTHREAD_SHOWPOST template: vBulletin AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Edit Templates > Show Thread Templates > SHOWTHREAD_SHOWPOST

Find:

$postbits

Add above:
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="alt1" align="center">
&nbsp;<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "youradsensecode";
google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.yourwebsite.com/collapsible_ad.html";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel ="yourchannelcode";
google_color_border = "F5F5FF";
google_color_bg = "F5F5FF";

//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"

</script>&nbsp;
</td>
</tr>
</table>

(Or just the <script> section if you don't want the table.)

You can also add this code after $postbits if you want a second ad unit.

i can make as much of it into a plugin as possible if you guys want :)

Hey!
I really want a plugin! Is it fare away?

Marius

Is there a way to place the ads randomly within the ForumDisplay as opposed to the first and last post?

similar to this:
http://www.aywe.com/news-announcements/

Google Adsense Products All in One @ navbar with rotating highlight images on the left side of the ads: http://www.msxlabs.org/forum/

Try switching between pages or refresh... I can post about it if you like.

How can I make my search button only be my google search and remove the vbulletin search? Right now I have the header dropdown for search showing vbulletin search and below that is my google search.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_ENCAPSED_AND_WHITESPACE, expecting T_STRING or T_VARIABLE or T_NUM_STRING in /home/coolaven/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3537) : eval()'d code on line 41

Does it happen everytime when you try to login admincp?
Turn off the product-plugin system...
Try disabling plugins one by one and re-enable them to figure out which one causes this error...

I've rechecked the codes in my messages and they seem to be ok.

How can I make my search button only be my google search and remove the vbulletin search? Right now I have the header dropdown for search showing vbulletin search and below that is my google search.

Any way to do this?

Search vbulletin.org, there must be a mod for what you want.

Excellent post, thank you very much for sharing. I'll post results later.

Interesting guide on placement of Adsense ads, very useful. Might even use a few of the locations you suggested :) Thanks

XD i was trying to click "install" button, very useful, not only for vB pages.

thanks

Damn, that forum is way too annoying. Sorry, not trying to be an ass....just too busy...too much stuff moving around.

Same here, it happens when trying to edit the templates.
Vbulletin warns you of the error and let you choose to go back or continue anyways.
I tried in 2 forums with 3.5.4

With both FORUMDISPLAY and POSTBIT

Copy the codes to your text editor first and check for any special characters possibly added by vBulletin... and re-check your google adsense codes.

BTW, I've upgraded my forum to vb 3.6 Beta 3 and it seems this guide doesn't need to be updated.

I'm getting the error by just pasting the initial part of the code.

Just by pasting this in the FORUMDISPLAY:
<tr>
<td align="center" class="alt1">-</td>
<td align="center" class="alt2">-</td>
<td class="alt1">
<div>

*edit*

It seems ok... Can you try editing your templates via another browser?

Excellent little tutorial, cheers. :)

Also, here's a little tip in case you only want to display it for guests, not members. Simply put the codes (as instructed in the first posts) between these tags:

<if condition="!$bbuserinfo[userid]">

*code*

</if>

thank you NeutralizeR

this looks amazing can anyone say that their adsense revenue went up x% after doing this?

yes, I can say it did.

I didn't use this exactly though.

I still use a leaderboard below the navbar in showthread and above quick reply.
I am doing this in place of the DAI tutorial section that places adsense directly inside a members post. I didn't feel comfortable with that portion of the tutorial. (just my personal preference, not knocking it in any way)

sorry to bump topic like this but the guide mentioned for first and last post ads does not work well with vbulletin 3.6

it shows ads in first 3 posts in the thread....

Not tested yet but these conditionals should still work:

<if condition="(($post[postcount]==1) or ($post[islastshown]))">
*ad*
</if>

<if condition="(($post[postcount]==1) or ($post[islastshown] and !$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->GPC['ajax']))">
*ad*
</if>

That was QUICK!!!

The first condition worked....

<if condition="(($post[postcount]==1) or ($post[islastshown]))">
*ad*
</if>

Thanks
Deep

OKay I am back, try the 2nd condition if you have AJAX Quick reply enabled...


<if condition="(($post[postcount]==1) or ($post[islastshown] and !$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->GPC['ajax']))">
*ad*
</if>


if you try first then it shows blank page once you reply usuing quick reply option...

WOW! absolutely amazing - i got this to work! a deep feelgood moment taking place :) thankyou.

and thank for this too martin64:

Great tutorial!
I will use some of the info, but no matter how much money NeutralizeR is making off his forum, nothing will convince me to make my members suffer like that. Sorry man, the site is plain shocking. I care about my members far too much to make them go through an epileptic-fit-inducing experience like your site. My browser struggled to scroll down!
Anyway, at least you've given us lots of examples to check out, very much appreciated! :D

ok so i integrated this in my forum www.ps3center.net/forums .. but I tweaked it a little .. I added the logo`s around it etc. Do you guys think this is against Google`s TOS ? What would you guys do? Keep it or take it off .. I dont wanna get banned from Adsense ...

How would I make it viewable by certain usergroups only? Thanks

This not real clear, to me anyways. I want to put my ads in between the posts in a thread. So instead of the ads being at the top of the site pages as it is now. Take them from there have them show in the threads. When some one opens a thread and they cruz thru the posts, there would be my ads in them, between the posts.

On my site, the posts are in sep boxes with a space between them. Anyway to code the Google ads to fit in between them, another box, that flows with the posts?

Are you sure you are banned because of this reason? Most of the people use it without any problem including NeutralizeR. I think it is some other reason, please find out.

I also install the code.... my forum look very nice right now.. you can take a look at http://forum.easywordpress.com for example.

Thanks to NeutralizeR, you did a great job.

Tips for you guys who are not quite sure about this modifications. You need to use dreamweaver or any HTML editor which can show you the interface. From there you can edit the code and add in the boarder easily.

By the way, do any one of you using adsense sharing mod by chance??

Awesome guide, NeutralizeR! I've implemented some your tutorial ideas into my forums. :)

Hello everyone,


I would like to offer some advice to those who perform these modifications.

if you value your google adsense account, please verify that all these positions are within Google's TOS. Just because an Adsense modification is approved for someone, doesn't mean it is approved for you. Case in point, I notified Google about these positions for my forum, and I am not allowed to display Google Adsense link units above the navbar. Please be careful guys and do not lose your Adsense accounts.

Here is an Adsense link unit blended above the navbar:

Hi, question about "after first post deployment"... I've put the code in the postbit_legacy afer <!-- / message -->, but this makes the ad deploy within the posts, I was forced to put it and the end of the postbit_legacy to make it work, but now my multi-quote and quick reply buttons are broken past the second post.

http://imagesjack.us/picture.php?p=e7ed01cecb.jpg

Sorry for my bad English.
Making the ad look too much like an actual post can get you into trouble under Google's TOS. Basically you want your visitors to click on ads voluntarily rather than tricking them into clicking something they think is content. I always keep that in mind when placing my ads. When in doubt I don't do it in fear of getting banned. Between my site and forum I do fairly well with adsense so it's not worth losing it.

I added the ad code into my Forumdisplay as described in this tutorial and it looks great. I tweaked it slightly since I use a stickies plugin, that way the ads appear between the sticky and the first post.

Ok, but How can i put Ads in the forum list on forumhome page, with message about "Sponsored Links" like on NeutralizeR example?

I would like to add adsense like in the picture, without the one next to the logo.
I've founded in your tutorial how to add after the first post and below the last post, but I didn't added before the first post and on left and right.
I've used left/right column hack and make myself 2 columns, but I haven't found any script for left and right adsense.

You have to become an adsense Premium Member than you get other Banner Sizes and Customized Ads. ;-)
If i am right, you need to have 2 Million Page Impressions daily.

I've done with those on right and left, it remains the one above the first post ...

This tutorial rocks! Thanks for saving me a bunch of time!

I've got one question I'm wondering if anyone can help me out.

http://first-solo.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=2

This is my site. I've narrowed the page down to fit the template I liked. I'm having a problem of my adsense kicking the table outside of my dimensions. I've modified the code here a bit to use "colspan" and make one "<td>" for the row that contains my adsense code. However, when I use the 468px ad, it pushes my table wider than normal. I can use 2 234px ads, and the problem doesn't occur.

The other funny thing is, with the 468px ad, I can copy the source code directly to a new html page, and the adjusting doesn't happen.

Has anyone had any experiences like this in the past? I'm new to vB, but have been experimenting with adsense for a little while, nothing big, just experimenting.

Amazing tutorial !

thank you :)

Is it possible to restrict the ads, to not show if a particular user is logged in ?

i.e. based on $bbuserid perhaps

Sure just place conditional statements before your ad code.

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y, Z)">

YOUR AD CODE

</if>

What I have found from past experience with this addition is, set them to show for unregistered members only. Members tend to be ad-aware and not click them, and most of my clicks come from non members. This way your existing members don't get overrun with ads, and chances are your ad revenue will stay the same, but of course you know you members best, these are just my opinions.

<if condition="(($post[postcount]==1) or ($post[islastshown] and !$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->GPC['ajax']))">This code for first and last post on postbit(_legacy) is incomplete as it shows ads on first post of only the first page. If there are multiple page threads, there will be no ads in first post of XX page of a thread.




In order to fix that, you will need to use this code:

this unit is displayed only when user is logged in.... please can you tell me, what if i want to display this unit for guests too??

Fantastic tutorial. bookmarked it. Will read it soon.

Thanks.

One of the best Tutorials ive seen in a while.

Cheers =]

wow.. thanks!

Added this code to my forum and it seems good but I have one problem.

My link unit is at the top of the forum but below this there is an empty strip. I'm not sure if this was there before I made the changes to the forum, and was wondering if that is where I am meant to be displaying the Ad Unit?

Have attached a screenshot below.

Thanks for any help.

It's the first ad unit (728 x 90). Check your navbar edits again. You should know that Google has changed the ad codes incase you are using the ones in this tutorial. If you have just put the ads in your pages, wait a couple of days for the adsense bot to crawl your pages.

Thanks NeutralizeR.

I realised that Google had changed their ad codes, but I was a bit confused. Firstly I used the new adsense codes, and then I realised that I had missed out the line of code mentioning the collapsible ad unit html page, so then I went and changed all my adverts over to the style of the ones in the article.

Should I just use the newer adsense codes?

Also would I simply link to the collapsible ad unit.html file from within adsense, where they ask me about showing alternative adverts instead of PSA ones?

Yes, use the new adsense codes and enter the link of the collapsible html within adsense.

Oh okay, thanks again NeutralizeR.

Can I just ask, what does the collapsible ad unit do? What does it show?


Thanks again

Thanks again
It's optional.

The collapsing ad unit code will 'collapse' your ad unit so that it takes up no page space if there are no relevant ads available. This allows you to minimize any blank space that would otherwise occur through the use of alternate colors.

Nice locations = Thanx for sharing.

Jacquii.

very nice step by step article..

also i'd appreciate if u explain some basic terminologies surrounding google adsense, and a basic screenshot pointing out different names and locations all at once..

however, its commendable article. :) thanks

Hi,

i had added all types of ad units explained in the article yesterday, and they were showing fine. Today when i see i dont see a single ad.

Also i tried to add a tower ad at one more place on my forum home page here at www.officechai.com/forum .. but i dont see at all.

The ad [AdSense unit: Sponsor Lance120x240, towerHome] is active in google adsense ..
I also went through all the trouble shooting steps, but to no avail.

where could I've gone wrong :confused:

here is the adcode:

I've got this one figured out.. thanks

Please can someone help... my template is not the default one, and I'm having a problem with the 468x15 adsense unit.

https://www.vbulletin.org/forum/

As you can see in the screenshot above, the unit is below the navibar but I want it to be moved down into the next box, which is currently empty.

Any idea what part of code the box is in?


Thanks for any help

Is this still OK to use? It's a couple of years old, has anything changed?

I think it's still good enough to start with.

Anybody able to help? :(

If you followed this guide it must be the container table of the 728x90 ad unit.
Move the 468x15 link unit's code to there.

Thanks NeutralizeR.

I've moved some code, and now the link unit has gone (which is good), but there is now just an empty space (about 728x90 in size) but no advert is displayed.

When I go to my URL/collapsible-ad-unit.html it loads the page but doesn't display an advert. Could this be why it also doesn't display an advert on the forum?


Thanks for any help again

Hmm... i checked your page source code and noticed you have the wrong ad code for the 728X90 ad unit. You have double "" for one of the values.

Sorry to post again but got another question. When I click on someone's post, it shows a section below their post which is labelled "Sponsored Posts". Any idea which part of the template this is in?


Thanks

It must be a differrent modification. I don't remember something like that.

hi I'm trying to do the thread one but would like to use images and links instead of the google ads is there anyway i could do this ?????

thanks Markos

I have been working for quite some time together with Vbulletin and Adsense. Those placements are good, but there are better ones.

Check out two of my articles:
-The best Vbulletin Adsense locations (http://www.duoblogger.com/vbulletin-adsense-placements/)
-Adsense training Video (http://www.duoblogger.com/psychological-adsense-optimization/)

I used this tutorial a few months ago to add Google Ads to my forum, and everything turned out great. Now, however, the Google Ads (the long rectangle in navbar) do not show up on my forum's home page, but they do show up when you click on a specific subforum. Any idea why? All I see is a blank rectangle on my forum's home page. I've updated my Google Adsense code as well. TIA.

Hey Guys, Please Please Help.

Adding this:

<if condition="(($post[postcount]==1) or ($post[islastshown] and !$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->GPC['ajax']))">
<center>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "youradsensecode";
google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.yourwebsite.com/collapsible_ad.html";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = "468x60_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel ="yourchannelcode";
google_color_border = "F5F5FF";
google_color_bg = "F5F5FF";
google_color_link = "FF0000";
google_color_url = "000000";
google_color_text = "22229C";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</center>
</if>

Will mess up the design with the Quotes of a Post. It pushes them to the right.

I Once found another Version, but there Quotes overlap the ad.

Is there any way to get this working with QUOTES??????

Just bumping. This was/is a good old thread.

Anyone have any new ideas to add for those of us who don't want the now 'built in' vBulletin AdSense thingie??

I'm particularly interested in any left sidebar Archive ideas.

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to work with this code... itself....

However I got few questions to ask very quickly...
in

1) "youradsensecode" part do I put it in my google adsense pub-id? Or is it the full code that goes with it?

and
2) what do I put in here? :-- "yourchannelcode"

3) and how do I put in a usergroup permissions in here? Do I just add this code:

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y, Z)">

AFTER

<if condition="(($post[postcount]==1) or ($post[islastshown] and !$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->GPC['ajax']))">

4) I'm using vB 3.8.x .. Is this going to stuff anything up?

Please let me know... Thanks...!

Can you give appropriate memberinfo templatesini to 3.8 series?

Does this work for version 4.0.0 too?

Does this work for version 4.0.0 too?

Same question.

How do i Add an adsense SEARCH BOx in the header?

what is the best tool for 4.0? I am looking for something to place customize and optimized ads ... I dont think the standard 4.0 is enough ... is there a new article/mod based on 4.0?

hoping somebody can help..

I added in adsense for the first time to my site, worked for a few days, not getting an scripting error..

So I've tried to add this to help, but like others above, would like confirmation what is required for:

google_ad_client = "pub-nnnnnnnnnnnnnn"; ??

and

google_ad_channel ="345xxxxxx"; ??

Also, I was using this in ad_board_below_whats_going_on, but now not working...


<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxx";
/* VW 250x250, created 5/30/10 */
google_ad_slot = "nnnnn";
google_ad_width = 250;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
</script>
