Tips for Adsense Placement in Forum
Asceth suggests webmasters to use javascript to do better Adsense placement. While it is a little tricky to do that, webmasters can try to edit forum styles/templates/skins. Most open source or paid forum are skinnable.
Changes to those styles or skins may vary, depend on what type of forum one is using. I have written some basic tips of how to modify the vbulletin style and xoops template for Adsense placement.
The idea is that we don’t want to have a static placement of the ads, but it should be self-adjusted according to how many replies are there for a certain thread. For example, in xoops, we might not want the Adsense code to be executed for every replies. Three repititions of Adsense code is still allowed, but how about having 10 replies per page? Tips: there must be a counter within the repetition loop, so that Adsense code will not be attached to the thread replies when there are already 3 codes executed.
The same applies to vbulletin, the clue is to make a little modification to posbit template and do some counter comparison.
