Google AdSense: Where to place?

At the bottom would be fine. I don't mind the implementation on Blah's Serious Business forums.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Excellent, the AdSense code is live.

Hopefully this will go a long way into easing the burden of funding GFF, bobo!

A suggestion - although I'm not sure if this is possible, and that Google is not allowed to spider any of the contents of the Request Forums, Sewers, or Concert Hall, perhaps it may be prudent to use some kind of code to avoid showing ads on these, um, TOS-sensitive content forums

There's nowhere I can't reach.

MoDaCo Forums has an implementation that I like because people are guaranteed to see the ads, but the ads are not too in-your-face. Essentially, after the first post in a thread, there's a table that has some Google ads, and then the rest of the thread continues after that.

See here for an example:

They also have an Adsense row on forums themselves, where all the threads are listed. See here for an example:

A similar implementation would allow GFF to maximize its advertising revenue by getting more people to see the ads.

I don't think the priority is to maximize the advertising revenue. Rather, it's just to get enough to fund the monthly expenses of the server :biggrin:

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Found this interesting site:

According to this, selling a single link ad just before the Gamingforce footer will get you $89 per month :P

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Come to think of it, you're right. My best guess is the account was suspended for either violating some terms of service, or had fraudulent clicks

How ya doing, buddy?
