This tutorial is written to show you how to use your Google Adsense codes efficiently in your vBulletin (3.5+) templates. I have a very heavily modified vBulletin style but i used the original style for this tutorial to be simple and match the colors. You can change everything as you want to find the most fitting results for your vBulletin.

Alternate ads-PSAs to Collapsible ads:

Quote:
Collapsing ad units are an optional advanced feature of alternate ads. A+ the collapsing ad unit code will 'collapse' your ad unit so that it takes up no page space if there are no relevant ads available. This allows you to minimize any blank space that would otherwise occur through the use of alternate colors.

To implement the collapsing ad units feature, you'll need to host a small HTML file on your domain. Your alternate ad URL will reference this file, which will be called if there are no ads available for that particular ad unit.
http://joomla.medspan.info/forum/index.php/topic,57.0.html

Create a HTML file with this code and save it as collapsible_ad.html:
HTML Code:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd ">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<title></title>
<script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/google_adsense_script.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
</head>
<body style="background-color: transparent;">
</body>
</html>
Upload this file to your web server. (http://www.yourwebsite.com/collapsible_ad.html)

Go to your Google Adsense account and grap your google_ad_client and google_ad_channel codes. (google_ad_channel is optional)

Open Notepad and paste these codes as you will change them with youradsensecode and yourchannelcode on the following steps.

We will use these there ad layouts in this tutorial:

728 x 90 Leaderboard
468 x 60 Banner
234 x 60 Half Banner

...and one link unit:

468 x 15

Note: navbar template editing step is optional because it may be against the Google Adsense rules for you. If you edit navbar template, almost all of your vBulletin pages will have Adsense ads at the top of the pages. My navbar and header templates include some flash, gif and text content and i update them regularly. It's why i use Adsense ads in navbar. You may apply this step (the ad unit) manually to your FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY, etc templates...

Open your navbar template: vBulletin AdminCP > Styles & Templates > Edit Templates > Navigation / Breadcrumb Templates > navbar

(for the link unit)

Find:
Quote:
<div class="navbar" style="font-size:10pt"><a href="$vboptions[forumhome].php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="1"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/navbits_start.gif" alt="" border="0" /></a> <strong>$vboptions[bbtitle]</strong></div>
</if>
Add below:
Quote:

Hi, question about "after first post deployment"... I've put the code in the postbit_legacy afer <!-- / message -->, but this makes the ad deploy within the posts, I was forced to put it and the end of the postbit_legacy to make it work, but now my multi-quote and quick reply buttons are broken past the second post.



Example:
http://www.worldaffairsboard.com/sho...128#post327128

EDIT

After <!-- / message --> in the postbit legacy:

Quote:
<div id="post_message_$post[postid]">$post[message]</div>
<!-- / message -->
<if condition="(($post[postcount]==1) and !$GLOBALS['vbulletin']->GPC['ajax'])">
<center>
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-4952345823118343";
google_alternate_color = "FFFFFF";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 15;
google_ad_format = "728x15_0ads_al";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel ="";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "FF0000";
google_color_text = "22229C";
google_color_url = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</center>
</if>
Nothing is displaying, but the buttons are working correctly. I need the ads to display between the first and second post on every page. Thanks for any help anybody can give me.

Making the ad look too much like an actual post can get you into trouble under Google's TOS. Basically you want your visitors to click on ads voluntarily rather than tricking them into clicking something they think is content. I always keep that in mind when placing my ads. When in doubt I don't do it in fear of getting banned. Between my site and forum I do fairly well with adsense so it's not worth losing it.

I added the ad code into my Forumdisplay as described in this tutorial and it looks great. I tweaked it slightly since I use a stickies plugin, that way the ads appear between the sticky and the first post.

Right now they both look like this



I want to drop the other TD and have only one so the ad can lay over not just the thread title but also last post, replies views and forum.

Like this.




Anyone have any ideas?
You need to use a colspan (column span) in your <tr> ... sorry I can't be more specific but if you look it up you'll figure it out.

Where would one put
Code:
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
in the showthread template?

Now that I think of it, what's the best place in the forumdisplay to put the code in?
