Add an advert into your redirect page

Time taken: 2 Minutes
Difficulty: Easy as pie
What it does: This will basicly just add an advert in the redirect screen. There is a screenshot attatched to show you what i mean.

You can also use this for Vb 3.5.x too

Thanks to Icheb - You shouldn't use AdSense here, because redirection pages wouldn't really count as content pages.


Go to:

Style manager --> [Style you want to edit] --> Edit templates --> STANDARD_REDIRECT

Now find:

PHP Code:

    <noscript>
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="2; URL=$url" />
    </noscript> 


And replace it with this:

PHP Code:

    <noscript>
    <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="10; URL=$url" />
    </noscript> 


This will make it so the redirect takes longer so you can see the advertisement. If you would like to change the amount of time it takes just edit the number in this bit of the code:

PHP Code:

content="10 


After find this code:

PHP Code:

                <p class="smallfont"><a href="$url">$vbphrase[click_if_browser_does_not_redirect]</a> 


After add:

PHP Code:

<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.adminpath.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://www.adminpath.com/delisiosso/misc/banner_right.gif"></a> 


Obviously change the url's to your desired url's.

Did you just forget to change the url link to the url instead of the image url lol

"You should probably mention that you shouldn't use AdSense there, because redirection pages wouldn't really count as content pages."

So, basically AdSense doesn't accept clicks/page views for this kind of pages ?

I believe its agains their TOS. so you if you got "caught" you'd get your adsense banned from google.

Ok, so can annyone suggest me some ad systems to be used instead of AdSense (accepting redirects), good for forums also...

[Icheb]

You want to use a different ad network just because you can't use AdSense on non-content pages?

[heroia]

Not sure if completly a new network.

There are in fact two questions here:
1. An add network which support pages with redirect
2. If anyone has some good results (income) for forums with other ad network than AdSense

hi, is there any way to have random ads load in this redirect?

vb 3.6.4 works a treat! *installed

[midirtrider]

Any idea on how to get the advert to apear randomly from a list of banners?
