IntegraMOD

has anyone added this to integramod? if you have is there something special which needs to be done or can I just add the code to a module and activate the module?

I've added it to the Banner MOD with IntegraMod.

ACP -> Styles -> Banner

Use the HTML that Google provides you with and you're good to go. <img>

Thanks

I must warn you from experience that google has a very hard time getting relevant ads (or sometimes any ads) to show up on phpbb/integramod forums.

It took my site over 2 months before relevant ads started showing on most of my pages, and then on individual topic pages the google ads rarely ever work correctly.

This is a major factor as to why google ads just aren't as successful on forums as they are on regular sites. A little money is better than none, though.

My Google ads also had that problem early one but I have since been banned due to somebody visiting my forum and clicking on ads many hundreds of times over a few weeks. Google said they couldn't tell who clicked on the ads so all of you beware that anybody can get you banned if they don't like you.

I added mine to my overall_footer.tpl

They work well

Mine actually work well as of right now. But it took about a month before they were consistant at all.

Just a tip for everyone: Do not bother installing the inline ad mod for adsense (where it puts ads underneath the first post on every page). Trust me....it rarely produces the results you're looking for.

I think the biggest problem is that phpbb forums have too much going on and it confuses the adsense bot and so it has to spider a page multiple times before it can figure out a main focus. For a while the only ads I could get to display were driven by the keyword "calender" and it was because of the calendar function on integramod.

But as I said they do work fine now. I took them out of the inline ad area and they work much better.

@ZacFields : Where Can I find this mod?
