You need to use a conditional wrapped around the adsense code to exclude certain private forum and category ID's from showing the adsense banners in them, if you place the banners in templates like the showthread and forumdisplay templates which by default would show the banners adds in every forum and category.

Like this below:

Those forum and category ID's listed above would not show the google adsence banners in them.


I agree with the guy above also, if you have private staff forum boards that are not listed in the jump menu and are excluded in the search, as well as being hidden from members. I don't see why google would have any problem with you not wanting there banners listed on them forum boards, because they would get indexed when you don't want them to be indexed because there private boards. Thats not cloaking as such, that just excluding google adsence from private areas on your site that you don't want indexed.

As long as those private areas don't break google adsense TOS regarding the content posted there etc, why should they have a problem with that.
