How to place adsense like this site ?

Am I on Google? - Recognized Expert

Thank You.

It may not be the best way, but the way I do it is through "Notices"

Code for guests

PHP Code:

<div style="width: 700px; height: 285px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; clear: both;">
    <div style="width: 350px; float: left;">
        <center>

GOOGLE CODE HERE

        </center>
    </div>
    <div style="width: 350px; float: left;">
        <center>

GOOGLE CODE HERE

        </center>
    </div>
</div> 


I've been using notices so I can use the same code in a wordpress theme easily

I have tried using that code and displaying advertisements only to guests, but it leaves a lot of blank space for registered users ?

Fixed the issue, I was using <if> statement after the first <div>

Using Templates or Notices?

(edit: scratch that, just saw your edit )

What are notices ?

Notices are a new feature inside of vbulletin 3.7

Is this considered the best way to add 336x280 ads to this position? If not, can anyone recommend another?

Also, when I added the code above to a notice block for guests I did not see how to restrict it from displaying on the home page. Can this be accomplished via the notice system?

Thank you!

i would never use notices for ads.

use the ad block templates, and page conditionals using THIS_SCRIPT

Thanks, Brian. Where can I find the ad block templates? Also, why wouldn't you use notices for ads?

they are in your style manager under the Ad Templates header.


Why? because 3.8.0 introduced this feature:

Notices can now be configured to be dismissible, allowing users to close notices that they have read.

Ahh, that's as good a reason as I've ever heard. Thanks!

Yup. Just place your ad in your template. That way you can choose the absolutely top-locations only.

One thing I never got to work: is it possible to place a code in the templates to take out the ads out of a file on your webserver? That would make upgrading a hell easier...
