XF 2.0 Google Ads

[Graham Smith]

Am currently running the most up to date version of xenForo.

Our forum has grown organically over the years, and whilst advertising on it initially may not have been appropriate, we're beginning to think that incorporating some ads to a certain usergroup is the way forward.

I've looked around this site, but can't really find what I'm looking for.

Is there a step-by-step on how to install and include Google Ads?

In my opinion the most revenue for AdSense is earned in thread view, so showing it elsewhere serves mostly to annoy members with very little gain in revenue.

Thanks @AndyB

Have just installed your add-on. Looks good.

I've set up a Google Adsense account as instructed, but it clearly take a time to complete.

I've installed the xenforo add-on as instructed too - including the permissions, but am I right in thinking that nothing will show up until the Google account has finished activating?

Regards

Correct.
