Is this only for VB Board?

And I know that you can't title your ad area something like - CLICK THIS........but could you put above your ads .....Trending Now......?

Never try to trick your visitors into clicking.
It is bad for the advertisers and these are the people google is trying to protect and keep.

[BattleStrats]

no the intent was never to trick my visitors. I just saw it on a Yahoo page and it looked nice. My genre is gaming so I was just thinking if made a Text only ad and putting that on the homepage. The ads are always game related and advertisements for brand new games - therefore they are all trending topics that i also cover on my site. Thats what I had in mind.

But about the first part of the question - is this only for VB>?

[StarBuG]

You can use the CSS part on any website.
The vb:if part are vBulletin conditions
