Where does Google Adsense place their ads ?

Post by 4mpb5 »

I was wondering where Google Adsense places their ads in a phpBB forum ?
What happens if you are already using your own ad banner say at the top or bottom ?
Forum visitors hate full page popup ads. Is this what Google does or are there options ?

I already added this but I was wondering if extensions disappear if I update to a new version of phpBB

Thanks

Not if you follow the update instructions properly.
Spelling is freeware, which means you can use it for free.
On the other hand, it is not open source, which means you cannot change it or publish it in a modified form.

Really consider not letting Google place ads automatically. They really can ruin the user experience on a PHPBB board. Manually placed ads are much better.
