    Its very hard nowdays to make a forum successful, before you starting adding adverts, you need to build up your userbase and get the forum off the ground, otherwise you won't have much of a chance.

    If you can get a busy forum, revenue will follow in one form or another, dont put the horse before the cart

    M-T had good advice.

    To ad it you need to access the header and / or footer files. I have not done it on phpbb in a couple months, but I think that one is easier than several other Open-source programs.

    You might want to start by changing your logo. ;)

    Have fun.

    I will gladly point you to the place where you can easily get free help, and it's better for you because you will have a community when you need help next time.

    ...or PM me your (temporary) password to your c-panel (and access URL), and adsense code. You still might want to look up your community for furure help.

    Simple instructions for first option:
    -Find the open source site where your script came from, locate the forum and someone will be glad to help.
    -While waiting for a response (from the phpbb forum), look at the your site's header.php and footer.php files, so you start to learn what code looks like.

    Best wishes,
    MGH

    If you find these three files-

    Index_body.tpl

    Viewforum_body.tpl

    Viewtopic_body.tpl

    and insert your adsense code in each file, the ads will appear on each post, without you having more than 3 ads on the same page.

    They can be found in Templates/subsilver (or which ever skin you are using)

    All the files you need to add adsense on are in your 'template' directory.

    Again I STRONGLY recommend against adding ads at this stage, unless you have 10 or 20 friends who are going to post regularly and help you kick this off.

    For the viewforum body put this right at the start of it-

    <p align="center">&nbsp;
    <script type="text/javascript"><!--
    google_ad_client = "pub-insert your pub no here";
    google_ad_width = 728;
    google_ad_height = 90;
    google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
    google_ad_type = "text_image";
    google_ad_channel ="";
    google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
    google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
    google_color_link = "FF0000";
    google_color_url = "DDDDDD";
    google_color_text = "DDDDDD";
    //--></script>
    <script type="text/javascript"
    src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
    </script>




    Viewtopic body, again right at the start of the file-


    <p align="center">&nbsp;
    <script type="text/javascript"><!--
    google_ad_client = "pub- insert your publisher code here";
    google_ad_width = 728;
    google_ad_height = 90;
    google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
    google_ad_type = "text_image";
    google_ad_channel ="";
    google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
    google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
    google_color_link = "FF0000";
    google_color_url = "FFFFCC";
    google_color_text = "FFFFCC";
    //--></script>
    <script type="text/javascript"
    src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
    </script>

    It is a bad idea for people to send you the files as they could be from a different forum version, ie. an earlier version.

    You will have to edit all the colours to fit in with your site!

    Not sure about the index body as I don't have adsense in there ;)
