Monetizing A Forum Tips

Add Adsense After 1st and Last Post in vBulletin Mobile Style

by

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.

How to add ads on ForumDisplay vBulletin Mobile Style

by

In the past couple of days I’ve been playing around with vBulletin’s Premium Mobile Style and adding ads here and there. Currently I am testing it out Adsense for Mobile Content.

Adding the ads is pretty easy, In your admincp got to your mobile style and find FORUMDISPLAY, Open the FORUMDISPLAY template and find 

<vb:if condition="$show['threadslist']">
			<div id="threadlist">

			{vb:raw pagenav}

add your ad code below. You will also want to align it to the center.

Like I said I am using Adsense for Mobile Content and using a 320X50 size ad. Starting in March I will start selling private ads on the mobile style. I just launched the mobile style this week and want to get a overview of it being used on a daily and monthly basis.
