Has anyone attempted to maximize output by adding adsense to the forum view or the thread view?

I'd love to know how to do this. And I'd really like to get some adunits displaying in the "topic view areas".

Blending and dissolving, sometimes I think I'm wanting to make a dime by fooling my dear community members, who come not be fooled by clicking on the ads, but see our forum content. hmm. but there's a trade off.

There is an apt joke here: in an American school in usa a teacher once asked her pupils, who is the most influential figure on this planet ever? Right answer will get 10$ prize from me.

A hindu/Indian student quickly rose up, and said 'Jesus Christ'... teacher was elated, and the guy promptly grabbed the 10$ bill.

Then the teacher asked him the question," you're not even christian, still how did you know it so well."

The guy replied, 'In my heart I knew the correct answer was Lord Krishna, but business is business.'

So you get the moral, huh?

Hi Amy and others,

I have been using for sometime now Custom Channels to track the performance of Google Ads displayed in my forums.

Recently, I implemented Google Ad Manager to display other network ads and Google ads (in the unsold inventory). So Google Ad Manager created its own custom channels for the ad slots where it would be displaying Google Ads for the unsold inventory.

Now, I'm seeing a discrepancy in the impressions shown for the custom channels created to track ads within the same page (say forumdisplay) but different slots.

For example, I have:

Channel 1 - created by me manually to track ads shown in slot 1 of forumdisplay page
Channel 2 - created by Ad Manager to track ads shown in slot 2 of the same forum display page

Ads in the forum display page tracked by channel 1 & 2 should have the same number of impressions. Because they are ads in the same page, both makes an impression when the page is viewed.

But I see a huge discrepancy in the ad impressions tracked by both the channels. Channel 1 created by me always shows less impressions for any day compared to Channel 2 created by Ad Manager. Why?
Ideally, Channel 1 created by me should show more impressions because that slot displays only Google Ads. Whereas Channel 2 created by Ad Manager alternates between Google Ads and other ads depending on the Geo-target audience, eCPM,etc. But still Channel 2 shows more ad impressions for Google Ads.

What could have gone wrong in the custom channel that I created? Please help.

Thanks.

Works as it should with 3.8, one tip is to set pub-id and create channel id to change in code before uploading to acp. :D

neat articles in here love reading them

the problem to put ads in Archive is that :
you can't specify a forum or some forums to show / not show the ads in it .
