Best Adsense configuration within posts

I have found that the 336 x 280 rectangle at the bottom of the first post (within the post, not below) converts great... in fact, it's by far my best. But adding that in is easy since you can do so within the Ad Location Templates. So my question is, how can one configure it so this same Adsense configuration is replicated within X number of posts.... i.e. within the 1st and 10th post, or every 3 posts, etc.

Ideally, what I would like to do right now is try it out within the first post and the last post, but only if there are, say, 3 or more posts within the thread. Because otherwise it would be ad after ad if there were only 2 posts.

Any Adsense/vB gurus out there know how to do this? I'm running 3.7.5 on this particular forum I'm working on. I did try the search on here but wasn't able to find code for this particular arranagement... so if you know it, you are a genius

thank you!

How To Show A Banner After The First Post In A Thread - vBulletin Community Forum

A great guide

Thanks Michael. But do you know where I can post this code if I want the ad to show up within the signature instead of below the entire post?

<if condition="$post['islastshown']">

Does that if work in your ad template?

Unfortunately not.

Here's what the code looks like to display it at the bottom of the first post (this works and this is what I currently am using):

$template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
$ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_sig]

<if condition="$post['signature']">
<!-- sig -->
<div>
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>

$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

Do you know what I do to modify it so it also shows the ad after the last post too if there are 2 or more replies. Would it be something like this?

$template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
$ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_sig]

<if condition="$post['signature']">
<if condition="$post['islastshown'] AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= 3">
<!-- sig -->
<div>
__________________<br />
$post[signature]
</div>
<!-- / sig -->
</if>

$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

Because this is what I tried and it doesn't work. I think I'm not doing the "if's" correctly?

You will need to end the "if" code

HTML Code:

 </if>

it will be

HTML Code:

$template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
        $ad_location[ad_showthread_firstpost_sig]
 
        <if condition="$post['signature']">
        <if condition="$post['islastshown'] AND $GLOBALS[threadinfo][replycount] >= 3">
        <!-- sig -->
            <div>
                __________________<br />
                $post[signature]
            </div>
        <!-- / sig -->
        </if>
 </if>
        $template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

Marco,

Thanks so much for your help - I really appreciate it.

So I got it working - I'll see how it performs. I just plugged Adsense into this forum and I'll see how it performs now with the two ads. Thanks again.

Great!
You are welcome
