Generate Revenue

The other day Joe from BlackBerry Os left a comment on another post about adding ads to the mobile style and wanted to know how to ad an advertisement above the logo in the vBulletin Mobile Style.

So I thought I would so a post on how to do it:

In your admincp got to your mobile style and find Header, Open the header template and find:

<div id="header"> 

(should be the second line)

And add your ad code above

My current code looks like this

<div align="center"><a href="URL">
<img src="IMAGE AD" alt="Your Ad Text Here"/></a> </div>

This will display adds on every page of your site in the header. For the best results, I would suggest using a 320×50 ad spot.

Please let me know if you have any questions or post in the comments if you need any help.

A couple weeks ago I showed you how to add Goolge Adsense to your vBulletin Mobile Sytle. I got an email from someone looking to add Adsense between the first and last post in a thread.

So I’m happy to share how to do it here.

First open up you mobile suite under your style manager in your admincp

Open your postpit_legacy and add this to the very bottom:

<vb:if condition="$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1 OR $post['islastshown']">

<center>

YOUR AD CODE HERE

<br />
<br />
</center>
</vb:if>

There are lots of different variables that you can use like showing ads just to certain users or non members or show only in certain forums, etc. This code will also work in the regular vBulletin style.
