Adsense Revenue Sharing Hack 1.1 (0 queries version) · **Released**: 04-27-2005

Upgrade 1.1 notice:
The upgrade from 1.0 to 1.1 is optional; it makes sure ads don't display in private messages. Thanks to venomx for the tip.

Hack Description:
This hack will allow you to offer Google Adsense revenue sharing to your vBulletin board users. Revenue sharing is a great way to reward your board members for their loyalty and adds a feeling of ownership in the board and it's success. Revenue is split between board administrator and thread starters. The percentage of probability is customizable by the administrator.

This hack is fundamentally the same like this hack; however, it adds some customization plus does not use any additional queries!

I wrote this hack a couple of months ago and didn't know there was any interest for it (you certainly don't want to spend money on something that doesn't take much time to code).

My time is *very* limited so I am not good at giving support. I hope the instruction included is self-explanatory. It is easy to expand the hack to your needs.

Hmmm... One debug question. I'm not having any channels show up for user-added channels, only the default forum channel.
Any common problem/solution I should be aware of?
I'll let you know if I find the problem as well, in case anyone else has it. But because it seems to work for the forum default, I imagine it's something small I'm missing somewhere.
I noticed there is nothing required for the "Regular Expression" of the channel. Should there be?
Thanks again

---Edit---
I found the problem. The install was so easy I missed something obvious. There are 4 field #'s you need to edit, I only edited 3. Works perfectly now it seems!

I found a good way to cheat & make bots click on advertise but u should only do this for 5min or less @ a time cause the hits I got were way to much for 5min so I give u a hint by the next time I post and tell u if I got in trouble for it. I did this with other ad links and left the link over night & got over 1000 hits by spiderbots but @ least I am going to get paid for those hits as those spiders have diff. ip's. :nervous:

why not just set it so you only can do a max number.

I get paid for hits. For $15.85 I need 1000 hits in 7days & $7.95 in 3months and so far my hits are @ 1671 in least than 24hrs. all from those beautiful spiders. So why would I set it to do max if only I was playing with google ads which I stop cause I got to many hits in 5mins. I like to have my google ads. :lick:

i was referring to your remark about possibly getting "in trouble" for it. so i offered to set a max so it looked less suspicious.

in any case, i'm very interested to know how it goes though and would love for you to release it.

This is what causes regular folks who follow the rules trouble.

Common problem, too greedy, and too lazy.

U talk like that Texas fool in the White House. "regular folks"
I do follow the rules of getting hits to banners by googles if u read what I said then u would know but then u do talk like that Texas fool in the White House. I also follow private advertiser hits to ads. All they want is different ip's address hits & no rehits by same ip in same day. :speechless:

Right, I'm the fool. I'm the one ripping off Google by using a bot to ping my ads, and then posting it for the whole world to see. I've seen a bunch of your posts all over this site, all you do is insult people and cause trouble. I don't see why you're tolerated at all.

venomx · #86 06-04-2005, 07:19 PM

LEAD_WEIGHT adsense and other programs will cancel your account if you are generating false hits or paying people to click their ads. They want REAL visitors who may BUY something from their advertisers.

One day u will able to read my post and see that I am not using absence google ads. One day u will able to read! As for insults, read the post and then u understand I did not do such a thing. U just can not able to differentiate between the fool in the White House and yourself that is to bad for u I quote what u said and what the fool aways says "regular folks"
I hope u could able to understand that was not an insult just u talk like him. I only insulted the fool in the White House.

Ok guys, lets keep on topic. Bare in mind that making bots click on ads will be against the TOS of any ad network you are on. And you risk getting your contract cancelled. In regards to the argueing, please be civil and the rights and wrongs of this issue shouldn't be argued in public, or at least in this thread. This is a modification support thread

Thankyou for understanding

Stifler · #89 06-13-2005, 04:08 AM

would it be possible to add the google adsense code to geek articles..
for instance, at the top of a page thats a geek article the users google adsense code is displayed?

LEAD_WEIGHT · #90 07-12-2005, 07:46 AM

How do I place my own wrapper image to this properly.

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND ($post['postid'] == $GLOBALS['FIRSTPOSTID']) AND (!$show['member'] OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid] == 2)">

<if condition="$show['spacer']">

    $spacer_open

    <div style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px">

</if>



<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">

<tr>

    <td class="thead" $scrolltothis style="font-weight:normal">Word from our Sponsor:</td>

</tr>

<tr>

    <td class="alt1" style="padding:0px">

    <div class="smallfont" align="center">

        <script type="text/javascript"><!--

        google_ad_client = "$post[ad_client_id]";

        google_ad_width = 728;

        google_ad_height = 90;

        google_ad_format = "728x90_as";

        google_ad_channel ="$post[ad_channel]";

        google_color_border = "F6F6F6";

        google_color_bg = "F6F6F6";

        google_color_link = "000000";

        google_color_url = "666666";

        google_color_text = "333333";

        //--></script>

        <script type="text/javascript"

          src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">

        </script>

    </div>

    </td>

</tr>

</table>

<if condition="$show['spacer']">

    </div>

    $spacer_close

</if>     

</if>

This is my code image I needed to make it look clean. I tried adding but it fall to show even google ads.

PHP Code:


			
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center"><tr><td class="table_1" width="60" height="35" nowrap="nowrap"></td> <td class="table_2" width="100%" height="35" align="center">Sponsored Affiliates<td class="table_3" width="133" height="35" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"></td></tr></table>

<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">





[U]adsence code[/U]





<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%" align="center"><tr><td class="table_4" width="67" height="16" align="center" nowrap="nowrap"></td> <td class="table_5" width="100%" height="16" align="center"></td> <td class="table_6" width="57" height="16"  align="center" nowrap="nowrap"></td></tr></table>

</table>

*EDIT
*Got it.

Any idea when we can expect this for 3.5.0?
