Webforumz :: Better Adsense in Archives · **Released**: 12-29-2006

This is the first hack I am releasing on this site, and who knows maybe lots more to come.

What this hack does

It places adsense in the archives into the very best positions for revenue performance.

Instructions

Easy peasy....

1. Import the product
2. Go into Plugin Manager and edit the 3 plugins - line 1 of each allows you to set your google pub-id
3. Thats it, you're done.

Demo

Where did you want to add the third ad?

Wherever...not sure

It stands to reason in almost anyones mind, that the more ads you show, the less chance they will click on a high paying ad.

Not to mension, my site used to run on a free host. The adds dramaticly slows down site speed so id say one add at the most.

The time for the advert to display is governed by the client (the browser) and not your server.

Good luck with your upgrade anywares

Not to get off topic, and this seems like a great mod, but doesn't this site have signature limits? It's very distracting to read posts when a user has this big-ass set of images as a signature.

I agree, but thats down to the staff to sort out!

On with the support ->

So this mod basically puts 2 ads in the archive and you can set the size ad to display?

rob30UK · #21 12-30-2006, 03:18 PM

if you edit the plugins, you could change the size of the ad if you wanted to, however I have defaulted them to ads that blend with the content for maximum click-throughs.

This hack is not meant to offer full flexibility. It is geared for those wanting maximum revenue from their archives. This format is tried and tested on my own forums.
