Amazing tutorial !

thank you :)

Is it possible to restrict the ads, to not show if a particular user is logged in ?

i.e. based on $bbuserid perhaps

Sure just place conditional statements before your ad code.

<if condition="is_member_of($bbuserinfo, X, Y, Z)">

YOUR AD CODE

</if>

What I have found from past experience with this addition is, set them to show for unregistered members only. Members tend to be ad-aware and not click them, and most of my clicks come from non members. This way your existing members don't get overrun with ads, and chances are your ad revenue will stay the same, but of course you know you members best, these are just my opinions.

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

This code for first and last post on postbit(_legacy) is incomplete as it shows ads on first post of only the first page. If there are multiple page threads, there will be no ads in first post of XX page of a thread.




In order to fix that, you will need to use this code:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)

One of the best Tutorials ive seen in a while.

Cheers =]

wow.. thanks!

Added this code to my forum and it seems good but I have one problem.

My link unit is at the top of the forum but below this there is an empty strip. I'm not sure if this was there before I made the changes to the forum, and was wondering if that is where I am meant to be displaying the Ad Unit?

Have attached a screenshot below.

Thanks for any help.

It's the first ad unit (728 x 90). Check your navbar edits again. You should know that Google has changed the ad codes incase you are using the ones in this tutorial. If you have just put the ads in your pages, wait a couple of days for the adsense bot to crawl your pages.

Thanks NeutralizeR.

I realised that Google had changed their ad codes, but I was a bit confused. Firstly I used the new adsense codes, and then I realised that I had missed out the line of code mentioning the collapsible ad unit html page, so then I went and changed all my adverts over to the style of the ones in the article.

Should I just use the newer adsense codes?

Also would I simply link to the collapsible ad unit.html file from within adsense, where they ask me about showing alternative adverts instead of PSA ones?


Thanks for any help

Yes, use the new adsense codes and enter the link of the collapsible html within adsense.

Oh okay, thanks again NeutralizeR.

Can I just ask, what does the collapsible ad unit do? What does it show?


Thanks again
