I don't see what you mean unless you are refering to having three seperate banners. I have included a sample of the code from my web page but have changed the numbers to hide my information. Could you please explain how to and where to put the other two channels in it.

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-1234567";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = "468x60_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel ="1234567";
google_page_url = document.location;
google_color_border = "669966";
google_color_bg = "99CC99";
google_color_link = "000000";
google_color_url = "00008B";
google_color_text = "336633";
//--></script>

For example, you can downplay the area in your postbit that affects your contextual ads by doing something like this:

<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->
<div id="postmenu_$post[postid]" align="center">
				<if condition="$show['profile']">
				<a class="bigusername" href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]">$post[musername]</a>
				<script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("postmenu_$post[postid]", true); </script>
				<else />
				$post[musername]
				</if>
			</div>
<!-- google_ad_section_end(weight=ignore) -->

Adding the code tells google media bot to ignore this area when matching ads to your site's content. (in this case the username)

You can also emphasize the message area of the postbit to help with the ads.

THANK YOU! That pretty much did the trick! :up:

section targeting is usefull.. but i am not using weight=ignore
just adding <!-- google_ad_section_start --> and <!-- google_ad_section_end --> between the post on postbit template

A couple of questions.
1) on the newest adsense/archive plugin, it shows 3 ads. top, bottom and right column. It appears that my eCPM has gone down even though my impressions are up. Any thoughts?

2) Do I need to modify both the postbit and postbit legacy templates to display ads in my threads? If yes, can you explain.

Thanks

Here ya go - We just wrote a hack that can easily place ads in the 3.54 archive...

EZ Archive Ads System

I know this is a really old topic, but I could use some help... (please?)

I've run phpBB forums for many years now, and I have just bought vBulletin and am going to combine 2 phpBB databases into one larger vBulletin forum for my site.

The main (old) phpBB site is located here: http://noated.net/forum/

As you can see, I have been using adwords and banners from the amazon affiliate program for many years. I have almost 20k registered users on the site, but am making only about $10/month from the ads. I have placed them in the topics, posts, redirect pages, etc... but no one ever seems to be clicking them.

As I switch over to vB I would like to know the BEST ways to increase my earnings. I've downloaded the mod to place ads in the archives (the one reccomended here), am creating channels to evaluate each ad, and would like some advice from you guys here on which other mods/methods are best? Or if I need to hardcode them in (that's fine too)? I have read the articles on google's site about placement, and will be making a few placement adjustments on the new site. What other advice can you guys who actually are making money give me?

Please help... One of my main goals for the site is to just have it pay for itself, that's the main reason for the switch to vB and a "subscription" model I will be implementing ($1/month for value-added services). Plus it's just better code.

THANK YOU!

A while back, AdSense looked at our site and made some optimization recommendations. You can take a look if you like, to get some ideas.

I'm using a Custom OpenAds for vBulletin module that I wrote to serve our ads, but we run a fair amount of AdSense ads and our revenue quadrupled after we made changes in position and color.

Google is okay with this kind of ad placement?

Google rule for ads is, On any given page, you're welcome to place up to three standard ad units and one ad unit.
