I realized that choosing the right keywords is crucial to success. One problem I came across was that I have forums with slightly different topics. For example, on LincolnvsCadillac.com I have forums for various models of Cadillac and Lincoln automobiles. I thought it would be better to be able to show Lincoln Town car ads in the Lincoln Town Car forum and Cadillac CTS ads in that forum. In addition, I have several forums which are offtopic, such as our politics forum. Clearly, someone who owns a Lincoln Town car could care less about Cadillac CTS ads, so those ads were being wasted. SO to deal with this I had a hack created. Now available on vBulletin-FAQ for free download is the Forum Keywords for AuctionAds hack. What this hack does is give you your list of forums and allows you to choose a different keyword for each individual forum. So now your AuctionAds banners can be more specific to each individual forum (and the threads in those forums).
Your welcome. It was something I saw a specific need for as well. Im open to ideas for other vBulletin hacks (AuctionAds related) so if you ahve other ideas pass them along.. If something makes sense to me, I'll get it coded.
