Thread: AdSense inside the last post - AdSenseExperts.com Exclusive

AdSense inside the last post v1.5 - AdSenseExperts.com Exclusive

Last update: 17/04/2012

Hello

This is another AdSense implementation for your vBulletin 4.0 Forum. This placement is exclusively released for AdsenseExperts.com. You are allowed to use this placement on your own forum, however republishing this modification on other website is only allowed with prior written consent by me.

What this mod does:
This mod adds a Google Adsense large rectangle inside the last post of each thread.
It is blended to complement your forum content but is clearly labeled as Ad to strictly separate Ads from content. This approach is taken for the reasons discussed here:
((login for URL))

Make sure you use the same colors as you use on your forum to optimize blending!

This mod shows the AD only to GUESTS!
If you want to show it to your members as well remove the "$show['guest']" condition!

Installation instructions:

in the template additional.css add:

Code:

Please ((login for URL)) to see this code!

then open the template postbit_legacy and find:

Code:

and replace it with:

Code:

Please ((login for URL)) to see this code!

Additional Comments:
Make sure you change all lines marked RED to fit your forum.

If you are also want to use my ((login for URL)) implementation then you need to use this code instead of the above (css remains the same):

Code:

Screenshot:


Versions:
v1.5: Changed the BBCode behaviour again to better handle nested code.
v1.4: New approach to Quote handling and optimized DIV usage. Upgrade is highly recommended.
v1.3: Removed the float_spacer to resolve a rendering conflict with IE6 + 7. The Ad was displayed over the posting text. You should upgrade to the newest version.
v1.2: I changed the code to show the Ad on the right side. The left side creates various problems when quotes are present due to user info being float:left
v1.1: introduction of the float_spacer
v1.0: initial release

Of course feedback is welcome and if you have suggestions to further improve CTR please let me know!

Kind regards

I don't have a lot of stats to compare the results before
and after introducing the float_spacer because I switched from
displaying the AD as last post to inside the last post 4 days before
introducing the float_spacer to my Mod. But from a 4 days
comparison eCPM went up 125% and eCPM went up 160%
for this placement.

So if you use version 1.0 I'd suggest you upgrade to version 1.1

thanks for sharing.

You are welcome

In Windows 7 Internet Explorer 8.0.7600 the rectangle is like a popup to the text. The text is not flowing around, but the rectangle is hiding the text.

If you provide a link I will have a look.
But on my sites it looks like it should with IE 8.

Did you try this location against this location?

Userinfo | Last Post Text
<< last | next >>
(empty) | Large Rectangle (looking like a postbit, with empty left userinfo)

Do you mean this placement?
((login for URL))

My ad displays too much spacing on the top. Which variables control the spacing on the top of the ad? I want the ad to move up a little bit.

Please help. Thank you.
