About this hack:
Advanced Ads for famous Google adsense program (for the program, click here) are now very high-class show in all pages of your forum, many options to offer more than a way of advertising in all pages. this product contains group of main features:
Google adsense Manager: system to add, edit and display adsense in your vbulletin forum
adsense revenue share: share with admins, friends or users
rotate ads: rotate adsense with other ads
why this is better than "Google AdSense Integration" feature: Google AdSense Integration have only specific packages. And these packages have no options.
but let's take a look on Advanced Google AdSense features
Main features:
you can add adsense ads info into your database then call them by variables.
You can exclude or add forums, users, usergroups or ips from display ads to them.
practicability to show ads in specific locations with tables and borders or css divs.
practicability to choose best alignment to show your ads.
practicability to add extra ads under side left/right adsense ads.
with adsense share you can specifying how many post should user reach, percentage of share and either you want to share users or admins.
practicability to show adsense for search in popup forum search menu in navbar.
practicability to use old style of adsense code and use it with your fourm.
practicability to rotate adsense ads with other program ads for example like bidvertiser.
practicability to add specific ads for specific forum.
very high classifying options to show your adsene in different locations.
Install/upgrade the product:
- upload file cpnav_ain_adsens.xml inside includes\xml (replace it if you are upgrading from 6.0)
- Import product-ain_adsens.xml file (as product): AdminCP > Plugin System > Manage Products > [Add/Import Product] (Allow overwrite if you are upgardeing)
How to use it:
after installation/upgrade go to your forum admin control panel (main page) and check out if your publisherid is empty or not. if it is, ads will not work until you update it. please visit ads setup options page to update it.
in ads setup options, click on the link in the second option. you will be redirected to ads units system to ad your ads. from there you can delete, update or preview your adsense codes. if you planning to use adsense share it's better to add custom adsense unit.
any ads already in your list, you can use it in any template. if your ad unit id is 5 and you want to display it in header template. you can go to header then add this code:
PHP Code:
$ain_adsense[5]
this in case you want to do it by yourself.
in case you want to display your ads by the avilable option, go to Display options then click on the link you want to edit options in it. for example, you want to mange your adsense ads in forum home page. after you enterd the page, you have to choose locations where you want to show your ads. then on each location you choosed there are place to put ad id you preferd to that location. finally save and enjoy
if you want to exclude users, usergroups, forums or ips you can do it from main options. you will need to take a look on options there.
adsense share is completely optional, if you want to enable sharing take a look on Adsense Share options and if you still have questions I will be here to help if possible.

dear Andrew, I think you can if change the MGC chatbox to different place
may this happen becuase MGC show using navbar template.

you should try to find which options conflict with default adsense and disable it or you should drop away default adsense from vbulletin or this mod.
good luck

by rotate ads do you mean that we can show random ads? let say an adsense ad and a flash banner that will appear randomly each time we refresh the page? can we use the rotate option just in one location? (lets say just under the navbar)
here is my last post in this thread, you said that these options will be in your next version?
Quote:
what do I need to do in order to manually add ads in other locations on my board?
I think that it would be nice to add a sponsored link box for the ads that comes after posts (after first post in thread etc') the ad is kind of stuck after the first post and it ruins the sequence of the thread, the thread doesn't look good and I don't really like it that way, it looks much better as a post (which contains the ad and has a sponsored ad title or something)
it would be nice if we could choose different code ads for different pages in the board.
the ads in threads \ forums aren't centered and they are in the left side of the page, what can I do in order to put them in the center?
thanks.
Edit -
enable this option if you want to border your ads with css tables.
it's will be better if you delete any additions html codes with ads in options below before you enable this
this option should work just in threads (after posts) and not in all the pages, it doesn't look good when you have a box above your forums.
Al3bed, thanks for this mod! I've installed it a while ago and installation/setup was very easy. I still need to upgrade but I've got a question first.
Ever since I installed this add-on, my eCPM has dropped to USD 0,00 or USD 0,01. In the past seven days, I had over a million ads views but a revenue of USD 10,54. Is there something I am doing wrong is or is there something wrong with the add-on? To see where I've placed the ads, please visit my site, FMFormation.
I hope you can help me with my problem. I know you can't really make so much money with Google Adsense but a eCPM of 0,00 or 0,01 is ridiculous right?

Thank you in advance!
I have the same problem too, my earnings are more then 50$ lower then what it was before I installed this addon, it's good to know that I'm not the only one.
Just updated to the latest version with a few problems. Any ideas as I am going to downgrade now. Also, when I first overwrote the product with the new product the ads locations seemed all messed up and looked aful compared to the older version. Hope this can be fixed soon.
