Okay, I tested my question above and found that the ads were being displayed to my contributors. I needed a fix so I edited the product template 'postbit_display_complete'.

I found:

$usergorx = is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,split(',', $vbulletin->options['gapiuser']));
}

and changed it to:

$usergorx = !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo,split(',', $vbulletin->options['gapiuser']));
}

And then went to vBulletin Options > Google Adsense Postbit Integration > Usergroups ID can use Google Adsense and put the usergroup ID I did NOT want to see the ads.

To complete this hack a person could also edit the phrases to state that the listed usergroups would not see the ads.

hth someone.
