Integration with vBulletin - Google Admanager Integration

Notice: This mod uses Re-usable Code, so please feel free to port it to vbulletin 4 under your username. Thanks.

Google Admanager Integration

This product targets ads to usergroup, script, forum. That way you can

• address ads to these targets.
  Example: Target all users except moderators in your favorite forums on index and forumdisplay directly in Google Admanager! (see admanager.jpg)
• Adsense Advanced Statistics. Have a detailed view which usergroups, scripts, forums bring best adsense results. You have a detailed view about all targeting values.
  Example: You see that your announcement forum has a CTR of 8% and an eCPM of 25 $. Unregistered users bring an eCPM of 15 $ while registered users only have an eCPM of 3 $.

By the way a maximum of 6 adsense ads are allowed, when using Google Adsense in combination with Google Admanager.

1. Install product

Version History
9.11.2008 1.2 Solved a bug for forum targeting
8.11.2008 1.1 Improved forum targeting. Forums are shown with real names. Unlimited forum levels supported.
1.11.2008 1.0 Forums are targeted by using forumids. 3 forum levels supported.

Works with vbulletin 3.5, 3.6, 3.7, 3.8. This product works perfectly with vbSEO. This product doesn't make the vBulletin 3.8 implementation of Adsense work with admanager.

I installed Google Admanager to 3.8.5. I'm not seeing any Admin CP area for it after install. I confirmed it installed in Manage Products.

I guess Google just switched over from Admanager to Double Click, everything should work the same in Double Click?

Thank you,
rob

so all that targeting key stuff is on the Google side? thanks, I'm looking forward to using this, but having problems with Double Click still.

[ThorstenA]

It's both.

The vbulletin forum says "This page is the [forum]='announcement forum' page. Doubleclick for publishers needs to have this pre-entered into their user area. You need to ask Google how to set this up. I wrote a small how to in this post:

ThorstenA:

We used you plugin for some time and it was working great until Tuesday morning.

We use Ad Manager and Ad Froum form RedTyger and your plugin to integrate Google AdSence...

No changes on the forum or on any of the plugis and the forum targeting stopped 2 days ago... Are you aware of some changes or anything that can affect that? The forum page is:

Thank you very much for you help!

[ThorstenA]

I use the admanager for vbulletin 4 product and did not notice any changes on tuesday. It works great on my site.

I think if you did not change vbulletin or my product, maybe there are changes in your dfp account in the targeting section?

But I can not help you there, sorry!

[losasso]

We did change (Add reverse DNS) record on the server that Tuesday. Do you think that can affect the system? and the targeting from Double Click side?

I read somewhere that changes in DNS can change targeting...

Thanks

[ThorstenA]

Sorry, I do not know about this.
