Advertisement in automatic popup once per session

This script generates an automatic popup of your selected advertisement whenever a user goes to your forumhome once every browser session. I reccomend telling your users about it so they don't think its just some third party ad, and they actually click it.

Support will be in this thread ONLY for users who clicked install! No screenshots as I don't want to create an adsense account for this, but you get the idea.

sorry but nothing happens here all the code you asked to paste in forum home template just shows up in forum main page,please guide me correctly :(

paste your forumhome template here, with the included edit please.

dont this violate there TOS? yeah it really would if you add

This is not a third party ad, it is our adsense which generates our revenue! Please click the ads! That is a reason to get banned let alone a popup of google ads.

There might be another hack or something interfering with it, try putting it at the top RIGHT after <body>

Adsense in pop ups is a big no no according to Google TOS. I wouldn't recommend it... don't get banned for few extra cents.

yup, this cannot be done legally with adsense.

Ok, great, if you dont want to use it, don't spam this thread over it. We heard it once, we get it. I'm sure that google has bigger problems that seeing that every single adsense user doesn't put their code in a popup script.

you cant put adsense in popups and you can't ask for clicks

you get banned instantly

add

Code:

<script>

after

As he said, beware.

You should probably change this hack/mod to read something along the lines of advertisement rather than adsense. Maybe stick an affiliate ad or something else in it. Like others have said, it's clearly against Google TOS:
http://www.google.com/adsense/policies

Quote:

No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed in a pop-up, pop-under, or in an email.

I swear to god you people need to read posts.....

I wouldn't use this, it violates Google's TOS and will get your site banned.

As mentioned by many members now, this would be a viiolation of Google TOS.

If you still want to use it after this warning, then it is up to you.

Please do not repeat the same over and over again.

Thank you, its a use at your own risk mod. As said above, google has more and bigger problems to make sure that their ads don't pop up.

man, you're just dense aren't you.

If you are so determined to get banned, then you will surely succeed.

Personally, I don't care for people who intentionally violate Google's TOS because in the long run, it costs quality publishers money in the long run...

this would be great and i would use it if i can insert whatever code in there, can i put my own banners and phpads(openads) code?

Double violation of the AdSense ToS: popups and encouraging visitors to click.

Anyone want the Google spam report link? :rolleyes:

It is clear that this is a violation of Adsense TOS, and will likely get you banned.

As Marco so nicely requested - please stop repeating this warning.

Then why hasn't vbulletin.org removed this mod?

If it were a security violation, would it be gone?

If it promoted the distribution of pirated software, would it be gone?

What's the difference?

Ok, look. Like I said before, STOP SPAMMING THE THREAD, If you don't like it, don't use it.
The difference that it is not against vbulletin's TOS. It has no security issues, and you don't have to use it. Get over it and stop spamming.

Just as well for you that you're not listing your website(s) here. AdSense does have a TOS violation report service, you know. :rolleyes:

Your adsense account will be banned on sight if it's placed in popup. This mod was created with intent to send all stupid publishers to a new place called "Banned Usergroup."

Ok, don't repeat this warning again. ;)

This mod will get you banned from Google Adsense.

The vBulletin.org TOS does not say that I can not post this warning in this thread even though UltimateOreo! considers it spamming his thread. So I guess it is okay for me to post this. ;) :D

Personally I refuse to visit websites with any type of pop-up. Not only will this mod get you banned from Adsense IMHO it will drive visitors away form your forum.

1. Can you tell us how to change the back ground color?

2. Can you tell us how to centre the rateing title question above the voting options as well

3. And also in firefox there seems a bit to much padding between the top of the yellow box and the heading. See attached screenshot

thanks for this as I was someone who requested it

In his defense this mod could be used for other affiliate banners or something or other programs in which this doesn't violate TOS? :)

Okay. And in defense of the many AdWords customers, he is actively promoting the add-on as a way to blatantly violate the AdSense ToS, designed to artifically inflate AdSense click rates and thereby defraud AdWords customers out of their money.

It is CRYSTAL CLEAR that his modification, as he posted it, IS A VIOLATION OF GOOGLE'S TOS.

There is really no debating on whether implementing his modification for use with adsense is or isn't a violation. It is.

Now, if he changes the title and lists it as a mod that serves an advertisement once per session, then this would all be moot.

It's my opinion that vb.org should have removed this thread. I don't think this site would be seen in good standing with google if it is allowing the promotion of products violating their terms of service. THAT is left up to google to determine though...and I'm quite sure one thread like this wouldn't constitute any type of action from the monster search engine but it's not the best theme to have :).

OK FINE WE GET IT. IT VIOLATED GOOGLES TOS, I DON'T CARE. I HEARD IT ALMOST 5 TIMES NOW, WE GET IT. DONT POST IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY OTHER THAN: "Oh lolz dis hak iz agains googls tos!!111!!" YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE THIS HACK. I AM NOT POINTING A GUN TO YOUR HEAD TELLING YOU TO USE THIS. PEOPLE CAN USE IT IF THEY WANT. IT IS THEIR PROBLEM, NOT YOURS. SO UNLESS YOU WORK WITH GOOGLE, STOP POSTING.

I'm not sure how you feel. If you could just tell us again, more specifically...

BTW, your mod violates Google's TOS. Just so you know.:rolleyes:

I was just giving him a hard time because he seems to be getting so fired up about it.

Ok, your the person on the forums who deserves to get banned. Hope to see that little tag under your name in under an hour.

why?

Because I find it funny when someone who BLATANTLY creates something that violates Google's TOS with no regard to Google or it's PAYING ADVERTISERS who are PAYING their hard earned money for illegitimate clicks gets called out for his inappropriate behavior and then HAS THE AUDACITY to get UPSET at others?

Are you kidding me?

I'm absolutely enjoying watching you get pissed off reading the responses. I guess it's similar to those people who enjoy leading on phishers making them waste their time and resources on them rather than someone who's bank account they might actually empty.

As someone who participates in Google Adwords AND Adsense, it irritates me to no end watching people try and ABUSE the program.

You're only 16 I see. One of these days you'll either grow up, or gain a conscience, one of the two or both hopefully...

You seem to be a pretty good programmer, but rather than getting mad when people let you know you're doing something wrong, take it in stride and handle it with some composure and understand where they are coming from, rather than lashing out and yelling at them.

All you had to do was change your mod to focus on ANY general advertisement and the whole damn thread would have gone away.

I'm sorry if I come off rude, but the thought of me paying for invalid clicks and receiving a lower ppc on adsense because of the sheer number of people trying to make a quick buck gets me fired up.

Exactly. Very well said. That's exactly the point.

Ok, I shouldnt have had that little rant up there, but the point is I made this for people to use. They could easily change it for any kind of advertisement that they wanted. I just don't like people saying the same thing over and over again while I try to make decent mods for the community, and then when I do try and help people out, I just get basically flamed because of it.

I understand where you're coming from.

Adsense is a pretty touchy subject with a lot of people. It has allowed people to make a good living off websites that before were earning nothing, and has allowed others to make something out of nothing.

I make enough off adsense alone that it allows me to work from home and provides my family and me a great deal of freedom.

I probably overreacted and tend to get on my soapbox, but the initial posts were just making you aware and then what followed was due to your reaction. Being as young as you are, and good with programming, I'm sure you're going to want to take full advantage of Adsense at some point or another. It's just not an option you want to cross our or a bridge you want to burn.

Good luck with your continued modification development!

Thanks, and I will take your suggestion to making it a general advertisement popup to stop all the posts, I can thank you for that advice!

I am catching this storm at the end but the idea of making a once a session popup with banners, ads etc is a great idea! I would love to stick some cpa banners in there!
