Make your adsense look like a post! With Referals, forum exclusion and more!

Hey,

This will let you show your add after x posts, put a referal box as a false avatar, and show a 336x280 banner.

Please note this has been made for my skin (legacy). You will have to alter this i think.

Add this at the end of your postbit template:

Code:

<!-- START ADSENSE REVENUE -->

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'AND ($post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid']) AND (!in_array($forum[forumid], array(2,3,32)))">



    $spacer_open



<table id="post$post[postid]" class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<tr valign="top">

    <td class="alt2" width="175">

            

            <div id="postmenu_$post[postid]">

                <if condition="$show['profile']">

                <a class="bigusername" href="#">Focused.ORG</a>

                <else />

                Focused.ORG

                </if>

                <br><br><script type="text/javascript"><!--

google_ad_client = "YOUR ADSENSE ID HERE!";

google_ad_width = 125;

google_ad_height = 125;

google_ad_format = "125x125_as_rimg";

google_cpa_choice = "CAAQ8OCIlAIaCP1TkEVpn_IYKITHrYMB";

google_ad_channel = "";

//--></script>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

</script>

            </div>

                

    </td>

    <if condition="$show['moderated']">

    <td class="alt2" id="">

    <else />

    <td class="alt1" id="">

    </if>

    

        <if condition="$show['messageicon'] OR $post['title']">

            <div class="smallfont">

                <if condition="$post['title']"><strong>Sponsored links</strong></if>

            </div>

            <hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />

        </if>

        

        <!-- message -->

        <div id="post_message_$post[postid]">

<if condition="$show['spacer']">

</if>

    <div align="left">

<script type="text/javascript"><!--

google_ad_client = "YOUR ADSENSE ID GOES HERE!";

google_ad_width = 336;

google_ad_height = 280;

google_ad_format = "336x280_as";

google_ad_type = "text_image";

google_ad_channel ="";

google_color_border = "D0DFE4";

google_color_bg = "E2ECEF";

google_color_link = "85868F";

google_color_text = "85868F";

google_color_url = "85868F";

//--></script>

<script type="text/javascript"

  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

</script>



    </div>



<if condition="$show['spacer']">



</if>   



</div>

        <!-- / message -->

    

    </td>

</tr>

</table><br>

<!-- / post $post[postid] popup menu -->



<if condition="$show['spacer']">

    </div>

    $spacer_close

</if></if>

Let me explain how to use it:
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'AND ($post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid']) AND (!in_array($forum[forumid], array(2,3,32)))">

In the array() you put the forums where you don't want to show the ads.

Here (($post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid'])) you choose where to show it. Use $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid'] to show it at the end of all the posts, $GLOBALS['qrfirstpostid'] to show it after the first post, or you can use a number.

For the picture blocks use <img src="random.php"> to where ever random.php is. Please remember to update the settings for random.php.

I reccomend you use a table to put your ads in.

If you want to show the ads only where there is more than 1 post use:

Code:

AND ($post['postcount'] > 1)

Like this:

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'AND ($post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid']) AND (!in_array($forum[forumid], array(2,3,32))) AND ($post['postcount'] > 1)">

If you want it to show to guests only use:

Code:

AND (!$show[member])

So it will be like:

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'AND ($post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid']) AND (!in_array($forum[forumid], array(2,3,32))) AND ($post['postcount'] > 1) AND (!$show[member])">

Please make sure you change your adsense ID where it tells you to!

Please note: I reccomend you put it at the end. In some cases, the quick reply after the adsense code may not work.

installed..working great

Hey,

Thanks for the install. If you want, i can give you those random picture blocks. They increase your page CTR by 30-40% i've been told.

yes please,that would be great

Hey,

I've added them. I've only added the .gifs as those were transparent. You can add more. And remember to edit the random.php.

got it,but what to add in the above code ?

just use somthing like
<table align="left"><tr><td align="left"><img src="path/to/random.php"></td><td align="left">ADSENSECODE HERE</td></tr></table>

Thank you, works great! :)

Thanks, that is pretty neat :cool:

One question, I use:

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'AND ($post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid'])">

and noticed that if someone is logged in the adcode only shows up at the end of a thread on the last page.
If viewed as a guest, the adcode shows up on every page at the end.

Any hints why it is this way and how to change it for loggend in users, too?

Thanks,
-Tom

Second: Is there any way to show that adcode only if there is more than one post in a thread?

/update: Got it, just changed the conditional to

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND ($post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid']) AND ($post['postcount'] > 1)">

which works great.

So just the one question is still open, see a.m.: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....4&postcount=11

Thanks,
-Tom

Thanks for that :) I will add it to thet update.

I signed up to your forum, and it shows at the end of every page. Not just at the end of threads. As guest it worked the same as well :)

ritenow u have this in array array(2,3,32) so it means in forums 2,3,32 ads will not show rite ?

after saving got this

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/.******/****/friendskorner.com/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3537) : eval()'d code on line 249

Thanks for taking the time to test this :up:

This is very confusing. The adcode shows up when using a test user account (normal member).
But using my account it only shows up at the very end of a thread?? :confused:

What is different on my account?

how do you show this to only certain usergroups as well ? i want to only show for guests and for regular registered members, but not for a certain usergroup

Unless I am mistaken, this modification would violate Googles TOS.

How would it violate google's TOS?

I do not see how this modification could possibly violate the policies set by Google's TOS. This mod does not go over the amount of ad units which are allowed as per their guidelines.

The only constraint is that the site must have content, which evidently it will as it is a forum. Please explain why you think it would violate the policies.

if i stick a number like

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'AND ($post[postid] == 5) AND (!in_array($forum[forumid], array(2,3,32)))">

will it show the ads after every 5 posts?? if not, how do i make it do that? repetetive

i have lots of forum areas, is there a way to do this so i can only show it to one forum area without listing all the other forum ids in the array?

Yeh.

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'AND ($post[postid] == 5) AND (in_array($forum[forumid] == forumid))">

Remember google only allow 3 ads, so you might as well do it manually.

PHP Code:


		
			
AND ($post[postcount] % 4 == 0)

using this code will do what i want, show the ads after every 4 posts
, which should not be used for adsense , i might add because of TOS i believe

You can use it, as long as theres not more than 3 ads per page.

actually it USED to (related to dynamically created pages). but Google has softened their policies...seems fine now:

Google Ad Placement

Up to three ad units may be displayed on each Web site page.
A maximum of two Google AdSense for search boxes may be placed on a page.
A single link unit may be placed on each Web site page, in addition to the ad units and search boxes specified above. Link units are considered to be 'Google ads' for purposes of these program policies.
A single referral button per product may be placed on a page up to a maximum of 4 buttons, in addition to the ad units, search boxes, and link units specified above. Referral buttons are considered to be ?Google ads? for purposes of these program policies.
No Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages.
No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed on any domain parking websites, pop-ups, pop-unders, or in any email.
No Google ad may be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant.
Elements on a page must not obscure any portion of the ads, and the ad colors must be such that any ad elements, including text and URL, are visible.
Clicks on Google ads must not result in a new browser window being launched.

Is there anyway to have this code show like ever 3rd post or something like that. Awesome code, this has been the only adsense code ive gotten to work.

Nick

@Dumi: add this to the line beginning with <if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' :

AND ($post[postcount] % 3 == 0)

@question?:
I think I got it, all users who don't see the adcode have to delete their cookies once, after that the adcode shows up.

/edit: I guess I'm going for this option here: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/showp...82&postcount=3
