Amazing mod mate, so great, especially for the ones who don't have to knowledge to pull it off by themselves.... like myself haha.

One question: There are ad units and link units. How many of each are you allowed to have on each page and combined? I can recall you can have 3 ad units on a single page but does that mean you can't have a single link unit on that same page?
Is there also someone who can tell me if there is a different in revenue if you choose only to display text ads only for ad units? Text ads only would blend in my site a lot more but if it lowers the Page eCPM, I'll have to choose to display the image ads as well.

I'm hoping for a quick answer so I can continue playing with it. Many thanks for your help and congrats with creating such a lovely mod!


EDIT
Two more questions:

1) Is it possible to show text ads only in the ads after the first post? So no flashing images but just text. The rest of the forums can contain image ads but I don't like the looks of it underneath the first post.
2) There is an option to auto-reload ads on your forum. Enabling that option, would that mean you can impressions every 60 seconds and if so, isn't that against Google Adsense policy?

hello BozzaJos,

not sure if i understand what you're trying to say .. are you suggest to add new options to add link units in different pages? or you want know if possible to add more adds on one page. there are no problems with ads itself, but there are 3 problems if you put many of them in one page:

1. cause excessive loading on the page >> lead to upset users and guests
2. as I tested.. google ads don't shows more than 5 ads in one page even if ads from different accounts.
3. most of users and guests hates ads .. if you put 5 ads every page they will leave your site

I elected ads locations depending on an article here in vb.org .. also I am try to find best places to put them.. if you have some where in your forum you think it's better to add ads on it tell me please

I have 2 features in my mind for next update:

1. adsense share
2. adsense search

thanks and good luck

Thank you for the quick answer al3bed!
What I am talking about is that I am using the ads on multiple locations on my forums. I would like to show text and images ads on all locations except for the ads beneath the first post. On that location, I would like to use text ads only. However, in the options, there is only one code I can place for long ads code. So I guess I have to use text and image ads only or only text ads.

For example, all the ads in your screenshots are text ads only. But if you look at my site, you will see that I use both text and image ads. Is there less revenue if you only use text ads?

Also, could you please answer my question about the auto-reload time. What exactly is it for?

Thanks again mate, really appreciate it!

yes it possible, but not with options (may with next releases) try do this:
Go to you style templates and search for: ain_adsense_postbit

find:

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

replace it with your google code that only show text ads.
it should be work!

about profitable ads, depending on statistics, google optimization team and vbulletin team they found that Text ads are less invasive to your users but not as effective. it's not about which one is more profitable.. it's about which one is more clickable.

2) There is an option to auto-reload ads on your forum. Enabling that option, would that mean you can impressions every 60 seconds and if so, isn't that against Google Adsense policy?

there is no term prevent from reload ads. auto-reload is like when you refresh your page, but this mode refresh only your code without the whole page every x second. if google adsense team overseeing every reload to check if it's a user reload or auto-reload there server will be like bombed hell.

I think that option is not very useful you better to disable it .. if you want.
