I ended up getting it to work flawlessly on my site. Even setup a template condition to not display it on the homepage of vbadvanced (the banners are in my header and footer)
I'll help you if you want. Drop me an email:

it looks like you figured it out

I see the ad on your homepage
This automerge doublepost "feature" is the most annoying, confusing thing to hit vbulletin.
