putting ads in the nav bar is nice and easy, but you can still target your pages.

this is the mess i use

different ads for guests and members, and different ad types and placement depending on the page.

Code:
<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" style="text-align: center; background: #ffffff;" width="100%">

        <if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == 'blog') OR 
((THIS_SCRIPT == 'blog_post') AND $_REQUEST['do'] != 'newblog') OR
((THIS_SCRIPT == 'blog_post') AND $_REQUEST['do'] != 'comment')">
            <tr>
            <td valign="center" width="100%">
            <script type="text/javascript"><!--
            google_ad_client = "pub-xxxxxxxxxxxx";
            google_alternate_color = "ffffff";
            google_ad_width = 728;
            google_ad_height = 90;
            google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
            google_ad_type = "text_image";
            //2007-09-10: HS_blog

bumping for my request if possible using vbseo because i have requested vbulletin devs past 2 years for this feature and still my feature seems under consideration :( but many custom forums can still do this.

can this solution be acheived using vbseo ? (i will be thankful to vbseo devs)

BEWARE: Sending google ads to a 404 page is against TOS, hence requesting for this feature for people who are using adsense link units in navbar or footer or elsewhere across.

A thread which does not exist in vbulletin shows a rel=noindex by stock (which is followed by vbseo) if I am displaying link-units under my navbar this goes against TOS... !!! not known to google till day neither reported.. makes a huge way for vbseo to go further.



Thanks.

I'm not sure I understand what your request here is exactly. Do you mean sending 404 headers for 'Thread no found' pages?

This mod will do it for you.

using the vbseo function to send to custom script
then the custom script has a 404 header in it

But this doesn't get called for invalid thread links. It gives you the invalid thread ID screen, or something like that. That's part of vBulletin.

you are absolutely correct Keith Cohen this is where I need vbseo to work some way if possible... shall have a drammatic change

Major serps as per default vbulletin code just show a rel=noindex with invalid or deleted threads but not a 404...

rel=noindex is not appropriately marked/taken into consideration with yahoo atleast and thats vital as well.

Thanks for understanding.

this may be a dumb question but i am not very good with these type of things. with this custom 404 page, will the search engines know that this is an error page and eventually remove it from their search results? thanks for the help

For some reason I get a blank page when I try enabling the 404 page.

I checked my pathing... Everything is fine...

Any ideas?

I had a similar problem - it turned out that it was due to me saving the php file I created in notepad as unicode
