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).

Now I am using the vbulletin native "Thread 1st-post" ad position.
Do I have to disable it OR it can be used concurrently with this mod.?

2nd.Q. What possible ad format to be used efficiently via this mod ?

3rd.Q. Being the ads displayed in or after PM, Can this be against Google's Terms and Conditions?

Thanks for you for sharing us your effort.

I haven't tried using it with the default ad spots, but it should work fine. I don't see any reason it wouldn't.

You can use any ad format you want since it's just HTML based (or JavaScript).

Not sure on Google's TOS, but I haven't heard of any issues with displaying ads on a page with a PM... global ads would display there too.

Digital Point, is there a way to set the ads to only display after the post text and not in a random location?

stator - it can be any size you want.

excessive34 - no, sorry... that's the whole point of the addon really, so disabling exactly what it's designed to do seems kind of a waste.

I don't think there is a way to be honest since internally there's nothing that tells us what post is actually being viewed.

What's the problem?

It has to do with putting an ad in the post actually being viewed. With vBSEO, it doesn't know which post is being viewed, so it just falls back to adding it to the first post (not necessarily the one actually being viewed).
