Board Optimization - Advertisement in automatic popup once per session

This script generates an automatic popup of your selected advertisement whenever a user goes to your forumhome once every browser session. I reccomend telling your users about it so they don't think its just some third party ad, and they actually click it.

Support will be in this thread ONLY for users who clicked install! No screenshots as I don't want to create an adsense account for this, but you get the idea.

OK FINE WE GET IT. IT VIOLATED GOOGLES TOS, I DON'T CARE. I HEARD IT ALMOST 5 TIMES NOW, WE GET IT. DONT POST IF YOU DON'T HAVE ANYTHING ELSE TO SAY OTHER THAN: "Oh lolz dis hak iz agains googls tos!!111!!" YOU DO NOT HAVE TO USE THIS HACK. I AM NOT POINTING A GUN TO YOUR HEAD TELLING YOU TO USE THIS. PEOPLE CAN USE IT IF THEY WANT. IT IS THEIR PROBLEM, NOT YOURS. SO UNLESS YOU WORK WITH GOOGLE, STOP POSTING.

So what are you saying?

I'm not sure how you feel. If you could just tell us again, more specifically...

BTW, your mod violates Google's TOS. Just so you know.

I was just giving him a hard time because he seems to be getting so fired up about it.

[UltimateOreo!]

Ok, your the person on the forums who deserves to get banned. Hope to see that little tag under your name in under an hour.

[shortbus1662]

why?

Because I find it funny when someone who BLATANTLY creates something that violates Google's TOS with no regard to Google or it's PAYING ADVERTISERS who are PAYING their hard earned money for illegitimate clicks gets called out for his inappropriate behavior and then HAS THE AUDACITY to get UPSET at others?

Are you kidding me?

I'm absolutely enjoying watching you get pissed off reading the responses. I guess it's similar to those people who enjoy leading on phishers making them waste their time and resources on them rather than someone who's bank account they might actually empty.

As someone who participates in Google Adwords AND Adsense, it irritates me to no end watching people try and ABUSE the program.

You're only 16 I see. One of these days you'll either grow up, or gain a conscience, one of the two or both hopefully...

You seem to be a pretty good programmer, but rather than getting mad when people let you know you're doing something wrong, take it in stride and handle it with some composure and understand where they are coming from, rather than lashing out and yelling at them.

All you had to do was change your mod to focus on ANY general advertisement and the whole damn thread would have gone away.

I'm sorry if I come off rude, but the thought of me paying for invalid clicks and receiving a lower ppc on adsense because of the sheer number of people trying to make a quick buck gets me fired up.

Exactly. Very well said. That's exactly the point.

Ok, I shouldnt have had that little rant up there, but the point is I made this for people to use. They could easily change it for any kind of advertisement that they wanted. I just don't like people saying the same thing over and over again while I try to make decent mods for the community, and then when I do try and help people out, I just get basically flamed because of it.

[shortbus1662]

I understand where you're coming from.

Adsense is a pretty touchy subject with a lot of people. It has allowed people to make a good living off websites that before were earning nothing, and has allowed others to make something out of nothing.

I make enough off adsense alone that it allows me to work from home and provides my family and me a great deal of freedom.

I probably overreacted and tend to get on my soapbox, but the initial posts were just making you aware and then what followed was due to your reaction. Being as young as you are, and good with programming, I'm sure you're going to want to take full advantage of Adsense at some point or another. It's just not an option you want to cross our or a bridge you want to burn.

Good luck with your continued modification development!

[UltimateOreo!]

Thanks, and I will take your suggestion to making it a general advertisement popup to stop all the posts, I can thank you for that advice!

I am catching this storm at the end but the idea of making a once a session popup with banners, ads etc is a great idea! I would love to stick some cpa banners in there!
