Are there too many ads?

[netsavy006]

On my forum pages, does it have too many ads for one page. Here's a sample page:

(I know it looks like a directory but it will load the page.)

I say the top and bottom are fine but I'm not sure about the ones to the left of posts.

I'm not really sure either. I do have it on a separate channel so I can see how that ad does over time.

Well there seems to be a lot, but you are paying for the vB license and the hosting so you can't really lose money.

I have adblock though 😛

The only ad I can't get rid of is the google ads because they are part of the forums google adsense revenue sharing.

I got rid of the ad that was inside posts. Now I have only 2 ad spaces, one at the top right and one after the first post.

Does that look better?

Yep that does look better -D-

Thanks. The 300 x 250 ad wasn't very productive anyways.

I would say you only need 4 ad spaces.

viewforum and viewtopic may be for phpbb forums but what's the equivalent for vbulletin forums? I don't see viewforum or viewtopic in edit templates...
