    What i would assume, of course i haven't placed any ads on my forum, and didn't have the time to expirement, but from my experience, i would recommend putting it in such a place where when the user is done reading the post the ads are right in front of them.

    I believe some forums have some sort of script or bot that puts ads as the last post in each page/thread. In reply-format.

    I would spend less time worrying about ad placement and more time getting traffic to the board. You're not going to make a whole lot with your 50 members even if you have the most perfect ad placement ever.

    It's better to try several positions before settling. It's sometimes a bit tricky to maximize your revenue without alienating the membership of a forum.

    You can add AdSense to Invision Board in 4 different ways:

    1. Edit the skin wrapper adding the code on the top, middle or bottom of the tags in there

    2. Using skins advanced edit to include the code in particular areas (you will get a list of those codes that can be modified)

    3. Going to www.invisionize.com and downloading the AdSense plugin that allows AdSense in between the posts like here in vBulletin (requires forum signup to download)

    4. Add a piece of CSS with the AdSense code positioning the add wherever you want this way.

    <div style="position:absolute, top:0px; right:0px; padding:0px;">
    ADSENSE CODE
    </div>

    simply modify top:0px; for bottom if you prefer the lower part, and left, center or right for the other value, as well as the exact location in pixels represented here as 0px to display it at the very top right margin.

    the padding value separates the code from the margins

    finally, add that piece of code at the very bottom of the index.php or the very bottom of sources/functions.php to avoid parsing confilicts.
