How many views did it take for that ad position to bring in 70 clicks?

**ArnyVee** · 05-27-2008, 11:39 AM

I've added the Adsense to my 2nd posts for everyone, but I'd like to add the Adsense just under the navbar (similar style and placement to vBulletinSetup) and possibly only do that one for guests.

Can someone tell me where to place the code for the 'under the navbar' placement?

Someone please help me with this.

I'm trying to move onto a few other things and want to scratch this one off of the list.

At the bottom of your navbar

**ArnyVee** · 05-27-2008, 01:05 PM

Andy...why I outta!

You know, I still haven't upgraded to 3.7....should I just upgrade and stop the procrastination?

Caddyman, it seems that those instructions are for the new 'ad locations' within 3.7.

Anyway that I can get this done now without having to upgrade? Or, again, should I just stop cryin' like a lil' silly girl....back up my shiznit...and upgrade my shtuff?

Seriously though, just go straight to the bottom of the template and add this:

<if condition="$show['guest']">
Insert your Google Code here
</if>

**Caddyman** · 05-27-2008, 02:07 PM

Andy is right ^^

**ArnyVee** · 05-27-2008, 05:01 PM

Bottom of the navbar template after ?

**Caddyman** · 05-27-2008, 05:06 PM

yep, might want to throw a <br /> in there to give it some space, but yeah, right at the bottom.....

DONT BE SCARED ARNY!!!

**ArnyVee** · 05-27-2008, 06:28 PM

I'm not scared! ....okay, well maybe a little.

Actually, the reason I asked is because I did that and nothing showed. Now, I've tried it a second time and nothing is showing after a couple of minutes. Should it be immediate or is there something that I have to do in addition since I have a 2nd navbar? The 2nd navbar is on top of the 1st, so I'm not sure if that makes any difference.

**Caddyman** · 05-27-2008, 06:52 PM

adsense ads can take 10 minutes, sometimes longer, to appear

**ArnyVee** · 05-27-2008, 07:01 PM

Thanks. I guess that I'll keep an eye out for it tomorrow morning. Hasn't generated anything just yet.

**ArnyVee** · 05-28-2008, 03:29 AM

Guys, nothing this morning as far as the 'under the navbar adsense' thing.

Any suggestions?

**Caddyman** · 05-28-2008, 03:41 AM

logout and see if you see them...the code Andy gave you only shows the ads to guests....

**ArnyVee** · 05-28-2008, 03:46 AM

LOL...you have got to be kiddin' me!

I'm such a jackass....wait, don't agree...just nod in silence please.

**Greek76** · 05-28-2008, 04:25 AM

I have them under the navbar, in the profile, every 3 posts, forum display on the bottom and in the archives header and footer. The only adsense I have for registered members is under the navbar the rest is only for guests.

Greek, have any of them outperformed the others?

So far, I have them as the 2nd post of all threads (viewable by both guests and members) and then the one now under the navbar at the top of all pages (viewable only by guests). I'd like to add them wherever others have had success.

I know that Caddyman moves them around and has stated that he has had success with one ad placed as a 'forum'.

After upgrading to 3.7 all my adsense codes dissapeared so I had to add them again. The problem is I dont remember exactly where I had them place besides the navbar and archive. I cant tell which one performed more than the rest. All I know is Im not getting the clicks I was getting before the upgrade and Im trying to figure out where I forgot to put my adsense.

**ArnyVee** · 05-28-2008, 05:52 AM

Greek, didn't you have them labeled in Google when creating the codes? I named mine "UnderNavBar" and "2nd Post In Thread" to help me remember. I know that I'll be adding at least a couple more of these and I didn't want to get completely lost.

Sorry that happened to you, but that's a good way to help yourself in the future.

**Greek76** · 05-28-2008, 05:53 AM

Nope didnt have them labled like a bafoon unfortunately.

**ArnyVee** · 06-03-2008, 03:19 PM

So, is it normal to have like 1,500 page impressions with ZERO clicks?

Guess I gotta start lookin' at adding the Adsense codes elsewhere. Sheesh.

**Caddyman** · 06-03-2008, 03:22 PM

yeah i think that placement is probably not performing well....

i have 900ish impression with over 10 clicks today...

**ArnyVee** · 06-03-2008, 03:33 PM

Mr Burgundy, is that 'inside the forums/categories' one working well for you still?

**Caddyman** · 06-03-2008, 04:24 PM

no i get almost all my clicks on the big square to the left of the welcome message...

**ArnyVee** · 06-03-2008, 04:44 PM

Hmm...I've gotta create that one still. Someone had some directions as to how to do that around here somewhere. I've gotta log off as my wife has been hounding me to use the computer for the last hour or so. (Don't start with the 'who wears the pants' comments!

)

Can someone link me so that I can check on it tomorrow morning?

Thanks guys!

**ArnyVee** · 06-14-2008, 05:33 PM

Well, I've added a big banner at the bottom of the site and took the 'guest only' restriction off of the ad under the navbar. So, we'll see how it goes over the next couple of days with the adjustments.
