Google Adsense on the GT forum
Hi to all, I wish to add "Ad sense Google" to my GT Forum.
Questions:
1) Could you give me some suggestion for an optimal positioning? Where to put the ads codes for the BEST ad revenues?
2) There are plugins for this feature? I wish to use ad sense only as admin (not give to other this option).
39 Do you have some samples of Gt Forums running with ad sense?
Thank you very much for your help Laugh.
Ciao.
David

Hi,

Its pretty simple really :)

Really, the best place for the ads are:

1) In include_post_display.html, add this to the bottom of it:

Code:
<%if num_posts > 1%>
<%if post_num == 2%>
<center>
<br />
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-3171934375285541";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = "468x60_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
//2007-06-25: Ultranerds Free Plugins
google_ad_channel = "6614009176";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "0000FF";
google_color_text = "000000";
google_color_url = "008000";
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
<%endif%>
</center>
<%endif%>
That would show it on the 2nd post (between 2nd and 3rd). You can do stuff like:

<%if post_num == 2 or post_num == 6 or post_num == 10%>

..to show there respectivly.

2) Its also a good idea to put an advert near the top of the page - a 468x60 one is a good idea, as they get the most ads in a smaller space (you could also use the next one up from that, which is wider)

3) Make sure your color scheme of the ads makes it "look like they are part of your site" ... i.e don't have a green site, with bright blue adverts. Its been prooven people click more on ads that they feel are not adverts <G>

Hope that helps.

Cheers

To do the stuff I gave in the above post? You should be able to pretty much do that yourself (and save yourself the money of me doing it :))

Not sure what you mean? That example I gave above lets you put your adcode in =)

Try:

Code:
<%if post_num == 2 or post_num == 6%>

..instead of:

Code:
<%if post_num == 2%>

Hi,

No problem.

Most people put them in the header (afraid I'm a little busy at the moment - so can't go in and have a look at the exact template to use =))

Probable be something like include_header.html.

Cheers

Re: [Andy] Google Adsense on the GT forum In reply to
Hi, the tags works fine as you wrote, but in the display page, the Googles ads doesn't read the right keywords on my GT forum, why?
Here is the example (please, see the ads at 3/4 post and 6/7 post).
http://www.rieducazionevisiva.com/cgi/forum/gforum.cgi?post=7146;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;forum_view=forum_view_collapsed;guest=1692915&t=search_engine
It displays some ads about "marine engines" and other ads NOT related to the forum topic.
Could you please let me know why the Ad ASense does't read the forum keywords and doens't put the RIGHT ads?
Thank ou veryu much for the help.
