Miscellaneous Hacks - Boost your revenues with google search adsense

Just simple templates modification, but you can boost your revenue with adsense..
my mod doesn't change the basic vbulletin design templates (see on screenshoot)

Preparation:
1. make your google search adsense, to obtain "partner-pub-id"
2. open navbar templates, see instruction on below:


Find
PHP code

<form action="search.php?do=process" method="post" id="navbar_search">
<input type="hidden" name="s" value="{vb:raw session.sessionurl}" />
<input type="hidden" name="securitytoken" value="{vb:raw bbuserinfo.securitytoken}" />
<input type="hidden" name="do" value="process" /> 
<input type="text" value="" name="query" class="textbox" /> 
.....
</span></span>

Replace with
PHP code

<form action="http://www.google.co.id/cse" id="cse-search-box" target="_blank">
<input type="hidden" name="cx" value="partner-pub-1677807936883236:1006600269" />
<input type="hidden" name="ie" value="UTF-8" />
<span class="textboxcontainer"><span><input type="text" value="" name="query" class="textbox" tabindex="99"/></span></span>

Change with your search adsense "partner-pub-id" Code

partner-pub-1677807936883236:1006600269

Don't forget to Mark As Installed
or
Nominate it for MOTM

So this completely replaces vBulletin's own internal search routine?

Thanks ..

it does not change at all the existing design, but when members use the search function, it will be connected to your google adsense.

just try install it first for more details

If it's not displaying the Google logo it would be in breach of their terms of service:
