This kind of ad placement is against google tos.

**hornstar6969** · 05-28-2009 06:20 PM

Are any of the others that he posted up on his first post against googles tos now? Is there a limit to how many you can use?

A question,
i have about 10 AdSense channels (computers - hardware - softwares - camera - Garmin - Navigator - Nokia etc etc) , should be possible to "alternate" each channel adsense code in last thread for example?

**Brian Cummiskey** · 11-08-2009 02:29 AM

The point of channels is to TRACK the page it was on. If you're rotating channels, it basically defeats the purpose.

At least, use a super channel to wrap all these channels in.

**Riccardo79** · 11-08-2009 06:01 AM

But the max number of channels is 5 .......

**Brian Cummiskey** · 11-08-2009 07:06 AM

Impossible... i have at least 50....

**Riccardo79** · 11-08-2009 07:06 AM

This tutorial was written before vb changed the profiles around to the tabbed interface.

It probably has been moved to one of the $blocks templates.

Hi

I saw the integration suggestions here and I think there are some better placements.

I optimized my adsense placements on my forums for 3 years now and I think they are near optimal.
Check them out at:

http://www.patientenfragen.net/ (forumdisplay) There are 5 google ads (including link blocks) on this page. Can you spot them all?

http://www.patientenfragen.net/l (thread) There are 6 google ads (including link blocks) on this page. Can you spot them all?

The navbar leaderboard and the first link block bring the most earnings, after that both large rectangles in the thread (guests only)

Before questions arise, all ad placements got their ok by google.
But to make sure, contact google yourself

**IcEWoLF** · 08-22-2011 06:40 AM

I agree, I hope to see a new tutorial for the new vBulletin and maybe some AdSense optimization tutorials with vBSEO.
