This BB Code is limited to Ultra-Premium Members on JUOT. You may have 1 ad in your signature if you choose. You will make money by posting on JUOT, the more you post the more you will make!

Ad Sense is a popular advertising service by Google. You can sign up with them at http://adsense.google.com and start earning money by displaying ads. Forum owners usually already have a Google Adsense account. What this bb code does is allow any forum poster to be able to bring in some extra money by advertising a google ad in their signature for example. This particular bbcode is set for the standard Google banner size of 728x90 pixels which will fit nicely in most signatures. It can of course be adapted to any ad size the administrator chooses by changing the hard coded size in the replacement text. On JUOT only the 728x90 size is supported.

To make use of this code:
1. Sign up for a google adsense account here.
  • Answer all questions honestly.
  • Use www.juot.net as your website URL.
  • It may take up to 2 or 3 days for your account to be verified.
2. While logged into "AdSense" click on the "AdSense Setup" tab.
3. Click on "AdSense for Content"
4. Select "Ad Unit (text and image ads - default)" and hit Continue.
5. Choose format "728x90 Leaderboard" and any other settings you want.
6. Choose a corner style (your choice) and hit Continue.
7. For "Choose Ad Channels" Just skip this if it doesn't apply and hit Continue.
8. Give your ad unit a name if you want, the default is fine, hit "Submit and Get Code"

You will be given a code that looks something like this:
Code:
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-[b]6709590269128756[/b]";
/* BBCode 728x90, created 7/29/10 */
google_ad_slot = "[b]7627109992[/b]";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
There are two numbers you need to write down or copy for later use.
In this example the first one is: 6709590269128756 this is the "ad client" and will go between the "ad" bb code tags.
The second number is the "ad slot" and in this case is: 7627109992. This goes in the "option" part of the tag.
Therefore to use this ad your code would be:
[ad="7627109992"]6709590269128756[/ad]

and that would produce:
[ad="7627109992"]6709590269128756[/ad]

Note: It's very likely if you are trying this for the first time it will be blank for you. Google sometimes takes up to about 10 minutes after the ad was created before actually displaying an ad. Give it time, an ad WILL show eventually.

Please limit the use to 1 instance in your signature if you choose.

Google Terms of Service prevents me from giving exact numbers on how much you may make. Suffice to say it depends heavily on how many places the ad shows up and how many people see it. Overall board traffic will figure heavily on this. On JUOT I'd expect you may make as little as nothing up to several dollars a day, more depending on the number of clicks you may get. If your signature is in a 'public' forum that gets indexed by google you will see the ad that shows in time will be relevant to the content of the thread, if you make a thread about "Forex Trading" and it stays on topic in time (maybe a day) the ads displayed will be primarily about "Forex Trading."

I have read Google's terms of use in full and don't see anything wrong with setting this up, if this changes I may pull this program at any time. I would be interested in feedback from any members who try this and actually bring in some extra cash. As with any other ad users using ad-block software in their browsers will not see these so if you do please disable ad-blocking on JUOT.
