- 4.67 average) Using the below resources you will know everything that is required to properly monetize your vBulletin forums. You will know how your visitors behave, how to place your ads and how to color your ads. 1. Using vBulletin’s default AdSense integration  A post by Wayne_luke on the official vBulletin.com forums about using vBulletin’s integrated functionality for implementing AdSense units. The post features an FAQ, making it fail-safe for every Forum owner. We recommend the default integration for everybody who:
2. Banner blindness - our enemy  Banner blindness - The longer your vBulletin forum’s visitors have been on the internet the more experience they have. The longer they have been on our forums the better they get used to everything like for example the sub-forums, where they have to post etc. Unfortunately they also get used to our ads and thus they develop a certain banner blindness. This is an excellent study by Jakob Nielsen about banner-blindness showing and explaining the phenomenon. We learn the following:
3. Placing AdSense units at custom locations  A post by NeutralizeR on the official vBulletin.org forums about inserting AdSense at custom locations all around your forums. Still remember the first resource about banner-blindness? Yes, those codes will give you horizontal web 1.0 banners. Modify the codes and use as many rectangles as possible.

8. Start working on your vBulletin forum - use this checklist  This post by Mark is a step by step checklist for optimizing your AdSense units. The post takes you through both CTR and CPC optimization. Follow the steps and you can be sure that you have done something good for your AdSense earnings. 9. Marketing forums on vBulletinSetup.com  The marketing forums on vBulletinSetup are a great resource to ask questions in case you have any. Many vBulletin owners regularly check out the forums and reply to questions. If you want to get in contact with a vBulletin expert, than that’s what you should be doing. 10. Advertising forums on vBSEO.com  The vBSEO marketing forum is another great resource. The forums exceed AdSense as the forum owners regularly also review other advertising programs. In case you have any questions or need help with other advertising programs, that’s the forum you should be checking out. No members have liked this post.
