Add an advert into your redirect page

[Move-Along]

Time taken: 2 Minutes
Difficulty: Easy as pie
What it does: This will basicly just add an advert in the redirect screen. There is a screenshot attatched to show you what i mean.

You can also use this for Vb 3.5.x too :)

Thanks to Icheb - You shouldn't use AdSense here, because redirection pages wouldn't really count as content pages.


Go to:

Style manager --> [Style you want to edit] --> Edit templates --> STANDARD_REDIRECT

Now find:

<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=$url" />
</noscript>
And replace it with this:

<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10; URL=$url" />
</noscript>
This will make it so the redirect takes longer so you can see the advertisement. If you would like to change the amount of time it takes just edit the number in this bit of the code:

content="10
After find this code:

<p class="smallfont"><a href="$url">$vbphrase[click_if_browser_does_not_redirect]</a>
After add:


<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.adminpath.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.adminpath.com/delisiosso/misc/banner_right.gif"></a>

Obviously change the url's to your desired url's.

You should probably mention that you shouldn't use AdSense there, because redirection pages wouldn't really count as content pages.

[Move-Along]

[Hornstar]

Thanks heaps, ive been looking for this for a while as i saw it on some site once b4.

[Move-Along]

No problemo guys :). Any ideas on my next random one? :p lol

Looks good, I'd been wondering how to ad content to the redirect pages.

I'm not a coder, but am I right in understanding that if i were to add:
<if condition"$bbuserinfo['groupid'] != xx"> to your hack, i could then have it so paying members get a 2 second redirection whereas nonepaying/guests have a 5 second ad-infested redirection?

[Move-Along]

Lol "ad-infested" :p And yes i am pretty sure that would work :)

[karlm]

cool potatoes! I might look into this further....

[King Kovifor]

Anything too advanced I might be able to help.

[Move-Along]

Sure Jeremy :) Any help is always appreciated :)

[King Kovifor]

Just talk to me online.

Hey this is cool, but the timer info is a bit different than what you list.

This can stay as it is:
<noscript>
<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=$url" />
</noscript>

but this:
var myvar = "";
var timeout = 20;
exec_refresh();
//-->
</script>

can be changed to extend the amout of time. For example, when testing this, I changed var timeout = 20; to var timeout = 40; and my redirect lasted twice as long.

I hope this helps!

I have it working, but the redirect takes you to the image and not the URL I have put in there. ??

Any Help?

[R1lover]

I got it .......... :)

[Move-Along]

Did you just forget to change the url link to the url instead of the image url :p lol

"You should probably mention that you shouldn't use AdSense there, because redirection pages wouldn't really count as content pages."

So, basically AdSense doesn't accept clicks/page views for this kind of pages ?

I believe its agains their TOS. so you if you got "caught" you'd get your adsense banned from google. :confused:

[heroia]

Ok, so can annyone suggest me some ad systems to be used instead of AdSense (accepting redirects), good for forums also...

[Icheb]

You want to use a different ad network just because you can't use AdSense on non-content pages?

[heroia]

Not sure if completly a new network.

There are in fact two questions here:
1. An add network which support pages with redirect
2. If anyone has some good results (income) for forums with other ad network than AdSense

[mrkhm]

The redirect time is still the same.
Is the number in millisecs or what?

How could I add:
