Keeping Google Adsense Happy... And YOU! - Where NOT to put ads
by DieselMinded 15 Jan 2010

Been using google adsense for 3 years , i do not want to be banned from adsense so i try to jump threw all the hoops.

There is plenty of information on here about the Privacy Policy but further integration with out a mod can be dangerous.

Where you can put the ads is often over looked by vbulletin owners.

its safe to think of it as you cannot put the ads on pages that require end users to put in content.

You also cannot put the ads on pages like search and new posts.

Here is a list of some places you cannot put the ads..
  • On any page not accessible by guests , this includes all pages where your user has to be logged in to view , all admin forums , premium members forums , private forums and ect...
  • New Posts and Search Pages
  • User Control Panel
  • Post Reply
You can only have 3 ads per page !

if you have google ad script in your header or footer you most likely are violating the google terms of service and will be banned.

Just to have google ads on the forum display page i had to do this ...

HTML Code:
<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid]!=6 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=99 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=23 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=98 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=116 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=118 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=213 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=220 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=90 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=91 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=92 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=75 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=285 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=100 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=39 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=171 AND $foruminfo[forumid]!=132">
AD CODE
</if>
Thats to prevent the ads from showing in forums that you have to be logged in , premium member or staff to view

you cant just plug the ads into your site. Yes you may be generating some funds right now but that don't mean your safe , do your self a favor and refresh your self with google ads information:
