Features include global settings, advertisements allowing template conditionals, ad sharing and ad revenue sharing, timed advertisements, preset popular ad locations and functions such as sponsors, additional custom ad locations, random and static advertisements and its all very easy to use. You can use it for ordinary ads like adsense, banner rotations, or any content at all as well as using it to manage ads outside your forum too.
If you are using autoinsertion and were using vB Ad Management before version 4.00, you will need to remove your old template edits or advertisements will appear multiple times. Just reverse the old instructions below.
Quote:
* Find <!-- post $post[postid] popup menu --> and paste $postbit_advertisement above it in your postbit & postbit_legacy templates.
* Paste $forumbit_advertisement at the bottom of your forumhome_forumbit_level1_post and forumhome_forumbit_level2_post templates.
* Paste $threadbit_advertisement at the bottom of your threadbit template.
* Paste $footer_advertisement at the top of your footer template.
* Find $spacer_close in your footer template and below it paste $rightcolumn_advertisement.
* Find in your header template and replace it with $header_advertisement.
* Find $spacer_open in your header template and below it paste $leftcolumn_advertisement.

I didn't notice the outside link to the instructions.
Poorly distributed, IMO. If you are going to have confusing setup options like installing a separate product that contains nothing but required language files there should at least be a readme file.
He evidently doesnt support any longer either. It all works for me except the ajax ad rotation.
Can't seem to find the answer for this. What template do I edit to change the 'remove advertisements' link from 'register.php' to whatever I want?
Thanks in advance.
Apart from that problem it all works great in 3.7.
however, there is one spot in the tutorial I'm confused about
"The google_ad_client part is what I'm interested in. The letter/number sequence there is the ID of the publisher to whom the royalties are paid. If I change that ID, I change where the payments for that advertisement go. So, what I want to do is replace that part of the code with someone's publisher ID depending on circumstance. I've created a User Profile Field, which will appear in every ad sharing enabled user's UserCP. I need to make a note of the field number that vBulletin has assigned that field, which can by found by viewing AdminCP > User Profile Fields > User Profile Field Manager. In this case it is field6.
Custom user profile field.
So, in the Adsense code I'm going to replace the section I want to be variable with the appropriate field number, with a # either side of it to indicate that this is the removable section.
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
google_ad_client = "#field6#";
google_ad_slot = "6799";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"></script>
That can now be pasted into an adcode block and saved.
This is the part I'm confused with, what adcode block is he referring to? Does he mean, replace the adsense code that we have in the field under say navbar, with this one? If that is the case, how does the admin get paid if a person clicks on the advertisement? Doesn't that mean only the people who have registered and made posts get paid, since #field6# is variable?
Is there a better tutorial that explains how to use adsharing. I just want to make sure that I'm also getting paid and not just the users who have registered with this adsharing feature.
Hey guys... I have installed this on a 3.7 board and it works, but only if you you use auto insert. Manual insert does not work for me... any body have a clue what might be the prob>?
