    Hi there,

    I have search vb.org and I am so overwhelmed by the number of ad management modifications that do various things.

    So I fling myself onto your mercy.

    Basically, I would like to do what Nick has talked about, having ads that show only to unregistered and not logged in people.

    What hack do you guys use for this? I have never done this.

    Also, have any suggestions on how you do amazon product placements, if at all?

    I would use the AIN Advanced Google Adsense mod and exclude all usergroups other than guests. I find this mod to be the most flexible for most people with switches to turn off certain ads whenever you wish.

    This feature is already built into vbulletin. All you do is insert an "if" statement in front of the ad code. Do a search of vbulletin.com or .org and you should be able to find information on it.

    Besides that, I am using the ad modification by redtyger, it seems to be working pretty good.

    Thats all there is to it.

    That the thing, if you want to have multiple ads throughout your site and want very simple implementation an ad management hack is handy. Im not keen on redtygers because of the footer link it adds as AIN doesnt do that.

    I think its $20 to be able to remove the footer link. That sounds like a fair price to me.
