Adsense on -every- page generated in a forum.

[scandix]

First, as a newcomer to this forum, I donīt know if the question is appropriate here among the adsense threads, since it is a question about a feature i wish to have in a forum.

Maybe this thread would do more right in another forum on this site. If so, any administrator may move, or anyone else suggest where.

The background is, I want to have a forum where adsense preferably is automatically put in every new pages created, since a forum get more and more pages by the members postings.

And the question is, which forum (script) can perform this?

You can do this with probably every one of them.

You just implement it into the templates.

Just be careful because an AdSense ad on a login page is a violation of their TOS. It's not considered a content page.

Anyway, it's really easy to do it. Are you using a free php-based forum? If you use phpBB, all you have to do is go into the template for the header, which appears on EVERY page in the forum, and add the HTML for AdSense.

Thanks! I should have thought that myself. Afterall I have once made a line design change in the code in a phpbb-forum, although I only know some htlm.
About a login page, why not put in content there too if not already present!

Not to be discouraging, but be careful before you put too much work into this concept.

Have you looked at the threads around here that discuss AS performance issues for forums? You should probably expect an ultra-low CTR, much less than 1%. Add to that the difficulty of getting AS to serve decent ads when your content is a forum (off-target ads = no click-thrus = no $$ for you). Add to that the tendancy for forum users to develop ad-blindness, which again results in no clicks. The list of concerns goes on... and on.
