How to place widget bucks on a forum

I have several phpbb forums.  If you have a widget bucks account you know the frustration of trying to place widget bucks on the forum.  The good news is you can do it.  I’m not sure if this is the absolute best way but it works great for me and my forums.

You will need to sign up for adbrite.  You can do that at adbrite.com.  The account is free and it’s also an alternative source to use in case widget bucks ticks you off one day.  The reason we are using adbrite is because adbrite lets you use other affiliates in it’s place whenever it is better for you.  After you create an account go to the “manage ad Codes” tab.  click create a new ad zone and select banner adds.  Now if you just want the banner and nothing else make sure the full page and in text boxes are unchecked and hit next.  Now you are going to choose your ad specs.  Make it the same size that you want you widget bucks add to be.  Hit next to describe your site.  Fill in the information for the site.  THIS IS IMPORTANT:  Once you are done filling in your site info hit next and be sure to CHECK YES for the question Are you already using other ad networks?.  Now for the eCPM make sure you set it at a high number.  Something like 2.5.  This will make it so your widget ads will be shown unless adbrite can get you a high income then that.  widget bucks will most likely show up most of the time because you ECPM is set high.  If you want widget bucks for sure then just set the eCPM higher.  Now login to your widget bucks account.  Once there  create a new add that matches the same dimension of the  adbrite ad.  Be sure and select a  category and product to show on your site.  Now paste that code into you adbrite alternate network.  I would also reomve the star and end hidden tags for widget bucks.

Now just place the code on your site and wait about 30 minutes and your adds will show up. You now are showing widget bucks on your forum by using the adbrite technology!!!.  I’m not sure

    Thanks,

    I this saved me from a ton of frustration. I was trying to add it to my forum but could not. This little tid bit worked like a charm. Also I never used adbrite before but may look into it more. For now I will just use adbrite so I can put widget bucks on my site. I’ll try and post back my results in a few weeks
