You can associate your vBulletin Customer account with your Google Adsense account or if you don't have an account, sign up for one from in the vBulletin Member's Area. This allows people to quickly and easily include Adsense ads from the Admin CP of your vBulletin installations. It is a standard basic implementation developed in cooperation with Google. This is a quick and easy way for forum owners to place advertising if they do not have advertising already and want to monetize their forums.

It however is not the only way to include advertising and you can continue to use the advertising templates or other methods to insert your own advertising.

Associating your vBulletin Customer Account with a Google Adsense account is not mandatory but just another service that we felt would be beneficial to our customers.
