I run a very busy forum, with around 100,000 members and about 200 to 300 new ones per day.

Since installing this, at first I was making between $6 to $7 right off the bat.

But sadly, the "search" function got broken, I like having it on the search as it cut down stupid bots or kiddies doing dumb searchs.

But normal useful members complaint that certain "search" functions like "search this thread" disappeared, when it was enable, even the "drop-down" menu on the vbulletin navbar disappears and just gets replaced with search.

If somehow the templates for vbulletin could be improved so "quick search" and "search this thread" would stay working, it would be great, or at least trade-off, display on "advanced search" but DON'T BREAK the "search this thread" function.

Anyhow, I disable the display for search and now using it for my daily 200 to 300 signups, and that is bringing in about $1 to $2 per day.

If they fix the "search" then it would be nice, as I could reach the $200 easy within a month.

Anyone got this working on 4.1.2 ?

I have this installed on 4.1.2 and seems to be working so far.

Is there anyway to see how many partners you have per catergory? It would just be nice to know that it is worthwhile installing this mod. Obviously if my site is aimed at all the catergories where you have no partnerships then its pretty pointless isnt it?

Also is there anyway to filter out specific types of ads? e.g. it is very important to my site that NO formlua afverts are shown.

There is currently no way for publishers to see which categories our advertisers are targeting. Our sales team is constantly working on securing new advertisers for all publisher categories.

There is also currently no way to filter out specific ads. Selecting the proper publisher categories will reduce the likelihood of you getting an unwanted advertisement type.

Can you confirm for me if you have formula companies as partners or not? As this will sway whether I use the modification or not, sorry to be a pain!

I am not sure what you mean by "formula company".

Since our advertising inventory is constantly changing, there is no guarantee that a formula company will not work with us in the future.

How would you describe this brand?

what the heck are people supposed to enter here?

I 2nd the question.

Mine was for Dish Network though. All you saw was their logo and it asking, "How would your describe this brand?"

eCPM = $50.89
Revenue = $0.34

WTF?

That is a market research question that we run as part of our distribution for advertising partners. Any answer other than a blank is accepted. They are served very rarely and only if our system determines that the possibility of abuse is extremely low.
