Extend Redirect Message, Add Ads for better click rate

I've found that on my redirect page, placing some ad code on the redirect template and extending the time for redirecting you seem to get higher click thru.

Use your favorite code, such as phpAdsNew or anything you wish

Admin CP -> Styles and Templates -> Standard_Redirect
Replace Old Code(assuming no modifications have been done)

Code:

$stylevar[htmldoctype]

<html dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

<head>

<if condition="is_browser('mozilla')">

        <script type="text/javascript">

        <!--

        function exec_refresh()

        {

                window.status = "$vbphrase[redirecting]" + myvar;

                myvar = myvar + " .";

                var timerID = setTimeout("exec_refresh();", 100);

                if (timeout > 0)

                {

                        timeout -= 1;

                }

                else

                {

                        clearTimeout(timerID);

                        window.status = "";

                        window.location = "$js_url";

                }

        }

        

        var myvar = "";

        var timeout =40;

        exec_refresh();

        //-->

        </script>

<else />

        <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="75; URL=$url" />

</if>

$headinclude

<title>$pagetitle</title>

</head>

<body>



<br />

<br />

<br />

<form action="$url" method="get">

                document.write('<\/div>');

Simply Add What ever ad code you wish in the provided space, use hack at own risk with adsense or YPN, some say its against TOS, use at your own risk

This is almost certainly against the Adsense TOU.

If you can't put it on login or search pages, I can't see it being allowed to be on redirect pages.

By all means, use this hack, but don't come crying when big G or Yahoo ban you permanently for putting contextual ads on a redirect.

Oh, i suppose you cant have a template mod regarding this without someone throwing out the "Its against the TOS" flag

No, it's whenever someone encourages masses of people (the vB.org community) to do something that will (not might, WILL) get them banned from adsense.

Explain to me what 'content' a redirection page holds.

Yahoo!'s TOS is harder to follow. I can't confirm it, but will ask one question: Under what circumstances would a Guest that cannot post (like the spiders that comprise adsense and YPN) see a redirect page?

Guests probably wouldnt see them

Regular users however would see them, whenever a redirect page appears.

Also, its not like you have to put Adsense code or YPN code in there. You could have your own ad management(phpAdsNew) or another advertising agency and put there, I'll update the hack to reflect this.

For AdSense it isn't allowed because of Content Sites only.

there are some providers its allowed i wont say which but they are out there

No shit sherlock.

There are hundreds of advertisers who don't care where you put their ads.

The point is, it is not allowed on adsense.
