WHen adding adsense code it distorts the design

[John Diver]

Hey,

I have added adsense, both in the breadcrumb template and in the ad_global_below_navbar template but when I do it is making the navigation move into the header.

Can anyone help with this please?
I have left it in the ad_global_below_navbar template so you can see the problem.

This is the code I am using:

<p align="center"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-9222821431952789";
/* ICF - Hdr 728 */
google_ad_slot = "2541901540";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></p>

P.s. I also did it without <p> tags

Does it do the same thing on a unmodified default style?

[John Diver]

Hey ozzy,

This is the only modification made on the default design, everything else is default.

Thanks :)

Do you have a link to the forum where this issue is happening?

the homepage you have set on this site is not working you need to update it

[John Diver]

Sorry, I thought I included a link!

Http://www.InternationalChatForum.com - Just testing it out at the minute so its all default apart from this one change

Thanks

Its a new install with a database from vb 3.8 - So everything is as standard

[John Diver]

Thanks for the reply, I was just trying if adsense worked on the footer, I have it reverted to the default again but its the same problem.

[ForceHSS]

above post updated

[John Diver]

Thanks for the reply, just wondering what the "AND CONTENT PAGE" in the code is for please.

I have reverted all templates so its back to complete default now.

I would like to have adsense on the header and footer of all pages.

Thanks for the help :)

[ForceHSS]

have you went to members area on vb and added it yet

[John Diver]

Sorry, I meant from the code that you posted:

<vb:if condition="$adsense_pub_id AND CONTENT_PAGE">

It seems like I'm missing something here, I always just added the adsense code into 3.8 and previous versions - Is it a setting for the publisher ID in 4?

Im pretty much just testing out 4, guess I have a lot more to learn :)

[ForceHSS]

You need to go to members area on vb add adsense then reupload the files

[John Diver]

No problem, thanks again

Can anyone tell me why there is google_ad_host?

What is it used for?
I searched and found a few unanswered threads asking the same on vb.com

[John Diver]

Anyone know if its needed? Not sure what its being used for as its not in the normal adsense code

[Lynne]

You don't know if *what* is needed? You asked why there is a google_ad_host, but I have no idea what that is - a file? a template? a what?

[CAG CheechDogg]

Ok ....

google_ad_host is just an extra line in the javascript , you can read about it here:

http://www.mydigitallife.info/google_ad_host-host-id-in-google-adsense-ad-unit-code-and-revenue-sharing/

I wouldn't worry about it unless you are dealing with what that articles says .....
