How to use it:

1. after installation/upgrade go to your forum admin control panel (main page) and check out if your publisherid is empty or not. if it is, ads will not work until you update it. please visit ads setup options page to update it.
2. in ads setup options, click on the link in the second option. you will be redirected to ads units system to ad your ads. from there you can delete, update or preview your adsense codes. if you planning to use adsense share it's better to add custom adsense unit.
3. any ads already in your list, you can use it in any template. if your ad unit id is 5 and you want to display it in header template. you can go to header then add this code:
   PHP Code:

   $ain_adsense[5] 

   this in case you want to do it by yourself.
4. in case you want to display your ads by the avilable option, go to Display options then click on the link you want to edit options in it. for example, you want to mange your adsense ads in forum home page. after you enterd the page, you have to choose locations where you want to show your ads. then on each location you choosed there are place to put ad id you preferd to that location. finally save and enjoy
5. if you want to exclude users, usergroups, forums or ips you can do it from main options. you will need to take a look on options there.
6. adsense share is completely optional, if you want to enable sharing take a look on Adsense Share options and if you still have questions I will be here to help if possible.

How to remove phrase....?

[jmw]

Aren't there any instructions for the settings? Can't get it to work. Do I have to set the forums the ads will show on or does this hack already have these settings set by default?

I am also getting this same error

rotate is random change ads per refresh, you can use it with other ads like adsnese program - I mean it's better - but you can also use it for any other banners.

rotate ads replaced in 3 places in each of showthread, forumdisplay and forumhome.. I will try to add more options to rotate section with next version.

yes. I do most of your suggestions with 6.0:
- you can manually add ads in any template locations
- you can choose different code ads for different pages
- you can choose ads alignment (center, left or right)

you need to setup your ads + set options as you like. if in any case ads that automaticly added to your pages not comfortable to you, you can add them manually to templates because I can't cover all options that may someone will choose!

best regards

Ever since I installed this add-on, my eCPM has dropped to USD 0,00 or USD 0,01. In the past seven days, I had over a million ads views but a revenue of USD 10,54. Is there something I am doing wrong is or is there something wrong with the add-on? To see where I've placed the ads, please visit my site, FMFormation.

I hope you can help me with my problem. I know you can't really make so much money with Google Adsense but a eCPM of 0,00 or 0,01 is ridiculous right?

Thank you in advance!

there are no relationship between showing ads and revenue. I can help you if ads not shown to your guests or users in forum, but why the eCPM goes down? sorry, I don't know about these issues ..

Great mod and the best adsense integration as of yet!

Thank you.

first, there are no code boxes with new version.. the code ads boxes with olders version like 5.2. And even if you are using these IF conditions with code boxes it's will not work because these IF conditions just work with vbulletin templates.

you can add more ads to side by edit ain_adsense_sideH template. find $ain_skyscraper add after it your extra ads with IFs. also I will try to add options for side ads in next version..

good luck

eCPM is calculated by dividing total earnings by total number of impressions in thousands. so it is my problem if your guests does not click on ads?! or may this add-on effect the eCPM?

may you are right, because if you show many ads in your forum the impressions will increased in thousands. so people will not click on ads more than impressions. but I need someone to tell me what common between system that show ads and how much earnings you will get form ads?

you need to enter your client id to get hack work. ensure if you upgrade from 5.2 or older to delete your codes from google_ad_slot options.

Well the old version seems to provide all I need. I was looking for the templates and must have missed them.

The main reason I wanted to use IFs was so that on the index where you can scroll more I could add more ads and exclude them on showthread and forumdisplay where obviously a few skyscrapers will push the editor right to the bottom.

Thank you.

EDIT: Just spent a few mins looking for Ain Adsense Templates or similar, naming the parent title Algdeer had me lost, maybe change that in future releases so we can find them easier?

6.0 is not working for me.
If I enter Pub ID and not fill in the 5 ad slots below it, then it would display two 728 x 90 ads throughout the forums


But, If I fill in the Pub ID and the 5 ad slots below with the ads I was displayed, then I get an error throughout the forums.

I have imported and overwritten the product a few times and uploaded the xml file to includes/xml/xml file

see Screen shot below

you must enter a valid slot number. If you are copy the whole code it's will not work and you will get this errors.. look please to this picture:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...0&d=1237071506

there is only numbers in slot options
you can get the slot number from you code it' looks like:

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx";
/* 120x600, created on 21/10/08 */
google_ad_slot = "7067436542";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

you just need to put the number in google_ad_slot value.
