Advertising to "Guests" only?


i do not have any ads, etc. on my forum so this is all very new to me.

is this possible? to only have ads placed on your forum directory page that is visible to Guests/unlogged-in members only? so once they log in, the ads go away?

if so,

1. where do i even start
2. how do i do this?
3. what companies do you recommend?

thanks,

tammy

Yep very much possible. You do it via Template Conditionals.

To only show code to guests:
HTML Code:
<if condition="$show['guest']">Place Your Ad Code and HTML Code Here</if>
This will show only the code inside the conditional to guests.

As far as companies go this is a List of ways to Monetize your vBulletin Forum.

I'd go with Google. Travel Ads pay very well with google. I'd put a 728x90 google ad below your navbar.

You might consider adding an advertisement below the first or last post in a thread also. ;)

Here's how I put an ad in the last post.

Open the postbit template. At the very bottom, you should see this:

PHP Code:
<!-- / post $post[postidpopup menu --> 
Under that, add your code. Here's an example:

PHP Code:
<!-- Begin Ad Code Last Post -->
<if 
condition="$post['islastshown']">
<
br />
$spacer_open
<!-- <div style="padding:0px 0px $stylevar[cellpadding]px 0px"> -->
<
div class="normal" style="float:$stylevar[right]">
<
table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<
tr>
    <
td class="thead" align="left">&nbsp;</td>
</
tr>
<
tr>
    <
td class="alt1" align="center">
             
Your ad code goes here!
    </
td>
</
tr>
</
table>
</
div>
$spacer_close
</if>
<!-- 
End Ad Code Last Post -->
