vB Ring - Promote your site (linking system with external list)

Promote your board by becoming part of a vB Ring. Adds a button to the bottom of your site that, if clicked, opens a new window with a random link to any other forum in the vB Ring.

Your site will be randomly linked to from all the other forums in the list.

To be added to the list, you need to :
a) Add your boards name below (to prove it is legal)
b) Install this hack, so you are participating in the ring

Optionally email me to get your site on the list, after posting it here. Just in case I miss it on this thread.

1 template mod :

Admin CP > Style Manager > Edit Templates > FOOTER

Find :

PHP Code:

<div align="center">
    <div class="smallfont" align="center">
    <!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
    $vbphrase[powered_by_vbulletin]
    <!-- Do not remove this copyright notice -->
    </div> 


Before it, add :

PHP Code:

<center>
<p>
<a href="http://www.davespikey.net/random/rand_link.pl" target="_blank">
<img src="http://www.davespikey.net/random/vbring.jpg" width="200" height="27" border="0"></a><a href="http://www.davespikey.net/random/vbring.htm"><img src="http://www.davespikey.net/random/more.jpg" width="35" height="27" border="0">
</a> 
</p>
<p>
</p>
</center> 


Save.... and you're done!

Of course, the JPG images can point to whatever images you like.

Demo here

Enjoy!!!

If sites remove the banner, then they will be removed from the list, to make it fair

I've sent a pm to the owner, I'd be surprised to see how many ppl have actually benefited from this

Same here - I think at the start it increased hits a bit but no new members because of it. Good idea though...

How do you track who's visited your site from it?
