In your admincp, find the header template. Add the Google Adsense code into that template where you desire. For more help, you should post in the templates forum, or over at www.vbulletintemplates.com

Putting adsense in the header will show adsense on pages that violate the TOS.

[kevinj]

Really?

why is that?

You cant have the ads on registration type pages. Your best bet would be keeping your ads on the index page, forum display, and show thread pages.

You can use <if condition="THIS_PAGE != 'showthread' or THIS_PAGE != 'index' (etc)>adsense</if> conditional to only show it on those pages.

I have made a template mod that will show the adsense in the header and/or certain locations for guests on certain pages only. While if you are logged in, you only see it in the footer. You can use conditionals quite good to control it. No need for banner software at all.

"THIS_PAGE == 'showthread' or THIS_PAGE == 'index'" would be the correct conditional to only show it on those pages.

That's nice, but (as Joe mentioned above) your current implementation of adsense is against the rules (section 6, part V).

I have put my adsense ads between the first and second post on showthread (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=38979) as well as my index page and forum display.

My over all CTR is above *% (), and my income is almost enough to replace a full time job. I cant give details, but its working great. IMHO, you will have better results by showin the ad in the thread, then in the header or footer.

If you want, I can give you my code for this change...

[okrogius]

That's quite a very nice spot you have there for the showthread . My showthread i have these placed between the brearumb and the first post.

I do think my forumdisplay implementation is slgihtly better then yours (ex. http://www.cgshockforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=14)

You may want to remove the CTR number though Joe. According to Google it is one of the things that are covered by their confidentiality clause.

[Joe]

*nod* I didnt give specifics, but I guess I shouldnt even tell you what my CTR is close to. Lets just say its rather nice

Joe,

I would like to know how you add the adsence like that to you showthread. Are you running vb3?

[IDN]

Yes he is, beta7

Is the following the correct code to use? Doesn't seem to be working correctly.

<if condition="THIS_PAGE == 'showthread' or THIS_PAGE == 'index' or THIS_PAGE == 'forumdisplay'">
