About
This allows you to insert an ad into a random location within the post currently being viewed and/or insert an ad after the currently viewed post.
I made this a couple years ago for internal use and decided to release it because a few people have been requesting it.
Installation
Install the product-dp_positionads.xml product under AdminCP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product
Go to AdminCP -> Settings -> Options -> Digital Point Position Ads for all your settings/options.
Notes
You can control which usergroups see ads.
You can control which forums the ads are inserted for.
This addon works just fine with vBulletin 3 as well as vBulletin 4.
The ads are inserted relative to the currently viewed post, not necessarily the first/last, etc. post in a thread.
Requires no template edits.
Our ad revenue more than doubled when we implemented this (and we opted to only use it for non-registered members).
Uninstalled. Just noted that it introduced a sitewide link pointing to your forum. Not really worth the link. You should actually mention this in your first post.

Oops, I forgot I removed a bunch of stuff before I wrapped it up as a release. The intent was for it to only show attribution on pages that use it. The updated version fixed it.

Perhaps a vbseo setting kills this function?
Not sure... does it work as expected if you disable vBSEO? I don't use vBSEO myself, so I can't check.

I guess this option in vBSEO causes the issue:

Replace post number link with Permalink
Will replace individual showpost links with the "Permalink" link. Note: Posts will no longer be accessible individually.
lets say I want to rotate 10-20 banners rather then just showing
the same old banner over and over...
is this possible?
Thanks
Something like that is really outside the scope of what this little addon is for. It's not a full blown ad serving system. If you are looking for something like that, you might want to check out: http://advertising.digitalpoint.com/publisher.php it allows advertisers on your site to do it all themselves (target areas of your site, bid on CPM/CPC costs, etc.)
