Adsense after first post

Hey guys i think many of you will find this very usefull

With the template edit you can display adsense or banner after every 1st post. i have chosen to use my amazon affilite code.

Add this to the bottom of your postbit template.

Demo

PHP Code:

<if condition="!$GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID']">

$spacer_open
<div style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
    <td class="thead" align="left">Sponsored Links</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td class="alt1" align="center">
        <adsense code here>
</if>
    </td>
</tr>
</table>

</div>
$spacer_close

</if>

Cause the last Post doesn't necessarily get read - the first unread post will.

interestingly, I find I read the last post more often than the first post on many forums (except on this forum...where the first post is the meat and where the download is).

or at least, I read the last post first as that's what shows up on the forumindex, and many threads are ones I follow for new posts.

just making a point.

Marco, my code fixes the quick reply problem.

Amy, I see on your site you have Adsense in your header, and also in the messages. Do you notice that sometimes the Adsense ads don't show up in the message thread, and are blank?

This happens often when there's multiple Adsense ads on the same page for me.

[jribz]

trilljester, not to answer for Amy, but I don't think that's an issue related to the hack, if there aren't enough ads to display or google adsense bot has not picked the page up yet, which is rare, it will display the alternate color or alternate ad you have in place. So just specify an alternate ad in your adsense code for those times when it doesn't show up.

[amykhar]

Yep. Generally, my adsense goes to my alternate ad broker though.

[trilljester]

Okie doke, I'll do that.

It looks great except when there's a quote in the last message, then it shifts everything off by a little. I'm torn now between using Amy's or the "just after the first post" deal. Hrmmm...decisions decisions... :nervous:

I tinkered with my quote template to make the div not have a width of 100%. When I removed that, it solved the problem.

Amy, can you please give me the link to your code? I just searched around and I wasn't able to find it but maybe I'm just overlooking it..

I set mine to 70% on both the div and table in my quote template and that fixed the problem. Thanks so much Amy! :cheeky:
