Add-On Releases - Make adsense look like a post

Hey,

This will let you show your add after x posts, put a referal box as a false avatar, and show a 336x280 banner.

Please note this has been made for my skin (legacy). You will have to alter this i think.


Add this at the end of your postbit template:

<!-- START ADSENSE REVENUE -->
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'AND ($post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid']) AND (!in_array($forum[forumid], array(2,3,32)))">

    $spacer_open

<table id="post$post[postid]" class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr valign="top">
    <td class="alt2" width="175">
            
            <div id="postmenu_$post[postid]">
                <if condition="$show['profile']">
                <a class="bigusername" href="#">Focused.ORG</a>
                <else />
                Focused.ORG
                </if>
                <br><br><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "YOUR ADSENSE ID HERE!";
google_ad_width = 125;
google_ad_height = 125;
google_ad_format = "125x125_as_rimg";
google_cpa_choice = "CAAQ8OCIlAIaCP1TkEVpn_IYKITHrYMB";
google_ad_channel = "";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
            </div>
                
    </td>
    <if condition="$show['moderated']">
    <td class="alt2" id="">
    <else />
    <td class="alt1" id="">
    </if>
    
        <if condition="$show['messageicon'] OR $post['title']">
            <div class="smallfont">
                <if condition="$post['title']"><strong>Sponsored links</strong></if>
            </div>
            <hr size="1" style="color:$stylevar[tborder_bgcolor]" />
        </if>
        
        <!-- message -->
        <div id="post_message_$post[postid]">
<if condition="$show['spacer']">
</if>
    <div align="left">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "YOUR ADSENSE ID GOES HERE!";
google_ad_width = 336;
google_ad_height = 280;
google_ad_format = "336x280_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel ="";
google_color_border = "D0DFE4";
google_color_bg = "E2ECEF";
google_color_link = "85868F";
google_color_text = "85868F";
google_color_url = "85868F";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

    </div>

<if condition="$show['spacer']">

</if>   

</div>
        <!-- / message -->
    
    </td>
</tr>
</table><br>
<!-- / post $post[postid] popup menu -->

<if condition="$show['spacer']">
    </div>
    $spacer_close
</if></if>

Let me explain how to use it:
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'AND ($post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid']) AND (!in_array($forum[forumid], array(2,3,32)))">

In the array() you put the forums where you don't want to show the ads.

Here (($post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid'])) you choose where to show it. Use $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid'] to show it at the end of all the posts, $GLOBALS['qrfirstpostid'] to show it after the first post, or you can use a number.

For the picture blocks use <img src="random.php"> to where ever random.php is. Please remember to update the settings for random.php.

I reccomend you use a table to put your ads in.

If you want to show the ads only where there is more than 1 post use:

AND ($post['postcount'] > 1)

Like this:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'AND ($post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid']) AND (!in_array($forum[forumid], array(2,3,32))) AND ($post['postcount'] > 1)">

If you want it to show to guests only use:

AND (!$show[member])

So it will be like:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'AND ($post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrlastpostid']) AND (!in_array($forum[forumid], array(2,3,32))) AND ($post['postcount'] > 1) AND (!$show[member])">

I for one am sick and tired of so many people claiming to have some authoritative knowledge of Adsense, SEO, and Google's guidelines. The average forum owner sees your post and thinks you must be right since you're so adamant about it, but anyone with an ounce of experience can see your logic is very flawed. So until people stop misleading others, you can bet I'll be here to provide a more realistic and cautious view.

I've taken over $1000 with this method, and google have accepted it.

Evidently you're either not reading the posts you're quoting or you just don't understand what I'm saying. Either way, your advice is horrible.

You would not get banned from adsense.
There are many forums and others sites that are doing this of my forums has over 22,000 members and its been using this sort of thing for 3 years.

Its fine.
Google dont mind its content.

Just as long as you are not telling members to click the ads its fine.

Great add on ;-)

Put it on your site, then ask Google. I personally got approved for it.

Excuse me? I believe what you meant to say there is "ForumDog did this for me and I never paid him anything." Your thread is even still in the Paid Requests forum where I responded when you asked for it to be done.

Feel free to rectify this any time, really. I'd chalk it up to forgetfulness if you weren't taking credit for it yourself as well. Forgive me I don't want to derail the thread, but it's important other people know about this obviously. Don't want anyone else defrauded.

As for the Google Ads debate, I believe the way it goes is that if your website has a certain amount of custom then in return Google will allow you a certain amount of leeway in how your advertisements are placed and styled. Certainly it is my understanding that you must gain permission first, you should not assume automatic permission for anything or you might find yourself in hot water! I don't use them myself but I'm 99% sure that's how it goes.

Never hurts to check!

[yessir]

OT, everyone should Google Premium Adsense. Those are the sites with special rules.

AFAIK, this totally violates the TOS.

The great thing about Google is that once you are tossed out, it is almost impossible to get back in. Caveat Emptor.

[Unexplained.tv]

The Answer is pretty clear, as long as you don't make it appear to be an actual forum thread it is perfectly legal and allowed. They did not state anything about a post in the thread.

I think he put avatar at the left of table because it looks nicer in this way. I don't think it's a way of cheat. But as you know, we don't know what Google thinks and does mostly.
