    Posted: 19 July 2007 at 2:01pm
Just thought I'd share a couple of things I've found, regarding Google Ads and Forums.
 
These are somethings I'm going to implement on my forums to see if it effects Ads in a positive way.
 
 
 
 
A well known link;
 
 
 
Block MFA and LCPC Ads;
 
 
 
EDIT - Sorry, might be best to move this into the v8.x modifications, due to the v8 code below.  Thanks.

I've just added the section targeting, so I'll let you all know how it goes.
 
   <!-- Start Member Post -->
   <!-- google_ad_section_start -->
   <div class="msgBody" style="float:left; overflow:auto;">
   <% = strMessage %>
   </div>
   <!-- google_ad_section_end -->
   <!-- End Member Post -->
 
  <!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->
 
   <a name="<% = lngMessageID %>"></a>
   <a href="member_profile.asp?PF=<% =lngUserID %>&FID=<% = intForumID & strQsSID2 %>"><% = strUsername %></a>
   <br /><% = strGroupName %>
   <br /><img src="<% If strRankCustomStars <> "" Then Response.Write(strRankCustomStars) Else Response.Write(strImagePath & intRankStars & "_star_rating.gif") %>" alt="<% = strGroupName %>"/>
   <br /><%

         'If the user has an avatar then display it
         If blnAvatar = True AND strAuthorAvatar <> "" Then Response.Write("<img src=""" & strAuthorAvatar & """ alt=""" & strTxtAvatar & """ class=""avatar"" onError=""this.src='avatars/blank_avatar.jpg';""/>")
         'If there is a title for this member then display it
         If strMemberTitle <> "" Then Response.Write(vbCrLf & "   <br />" & strMemberTitle)
         'If not a guest post then display some details
         If lngUserID <> 2 Then
           'Show the joined date
           Response.Write(vbCrLf & "   <br /><br />" & strTxtJoined & ": " & DateFormat(dtmAuthorRegistration))
           'If the is a location display it
           If strAuthorLocation <> "" Then Response.Write(vbCrLf & "   <br />" & strTxtLocation & ": " & strAuthorLocation)

   'If active users is enabled see if the user is online
   If blnActiveUsers Then
    'Display if the user is online
    blnIsUserOnline = False
    'Loop through the active users array
    For intLoop = 1 To UBound(saryActiveUsers, 2)
     If saryActiveUsers(1, intLoop) = lngUserID Then blnIsUserOnline = True
    Next
    'Display if the user is online
    If blnIsUserOnline Then Response.Write(vbCrLf & "   <br />" & strTxtOnlineStatus & ": " & strTxtOnLine2) Else Response.Write(vbCrLf & "      <br />" & strTxtOnlineStatus & ": " & strTxtOffLine)
   End If

           'Display the num of posts
           Response.Write(vbCrLf & "   <br />" & strTxtPosts & ": " & lngAuthorNumOfPosts)
  End If
%>
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

After applying the above, adverts are definitely more focused on the topics in question.  If people run Google Adsense on their forum, I highly recommend the above if the topic focus of your ads seem a little strange at times.

Noticed this has been implemented into the latest WWF release...Borg, did you find it made a difference to ads served / revenue generated?
