[OzzModz] Google Adsense tips and visual overview of ad positions

[questlot]

I have decided to re-enable auto ads for 5 days and I will observe and see if the performance is better than After first post and Container content Below

 

[Mr. Jinx]

I'm running auto ads for a few days now. It's too soon for conclusions yet so I'll keep it running a few more days or weeks.
First day, revenue dropped by 75%. But it is getting better every day.
We'll see where this ends..

 

[Mr. Jinx]

Ok, I think I'm done with Google auto ads...



Blue line is auto ads revenue, compared to dotted line which are fixed ads for the same period.
The fixed ads are just 3 ads: top, After first post and bottom.

The user experience for auto ads in Xenforo is terrible! Lots of ads in weird locations, very intrusive. Revenue dropped massively.
Bye bye auto ads!

could you update the new adsense code

before
<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>


now

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-xxx" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>

 

[Mr. Jinx]

Thnx, I've updated this.

This was an excellent resource - why has it been deleted?

This was an excellent resource - why has it been deleted?

Was reading this thread for the past 5 minutes thinking I stumbled upon a jackpot. I don't understand why he would delete it.

[Donny]

Yo - Where has this code gone? I always used to come back to grab it and it's gone! Can anybody help?

 

[Ozzy47]

If Mr Jinx doesn’t want to bring this back, I’ll repost the original stuff again.

 

[Mr. Jinx]

I'll transfer this resource to @Ozzy47

 

[pascal37]

Is there one for version 2.3?

 

[Donny]

Is there a 2.3 version?

I noticed the sideabar seems to render outside the page container. Therefore you can't use $thread.reply_count and others.

I wanted to show no sidebar advert if there are under 3 posts, then 1 advert, then two. Anyone found a solutoin for doing this?

You could just do the conditional check inside the thread_view template, and add the:

<xf:sidebar>code</xf:sidebar>
