has anyone added this to integramod? if you have is there something special which needs to be done or can I just add the code to a module and activate the module?

I must warn you from experience that google has a very hard time getting relevant ads (or sometimes any ads) to show up on phpbb/integramod forums.
It took my site over 2 months before relevant ads started showing on most of my pages, and then on individual topic pages the google ads rarely ever work correctly.
This is a major factor as to why google ads just aren't as successful on forums as they are on regular sites. A little money is better than none, though.

My Google ads also had that problem early one but I have since been banned due to somebody visiting my forum and clicking on ads many hundreds of times over a few weeks. Google said they couldn't tell who clicked on the ads so all of you beware that anybody can get you banned if they don't like you.

Mine actually work well as of right now. But it took about a month before they were consistant at all.
Just a tip for everyone: Do not bother installing the inline ad mod for adsense (where it puts ads underneath the first post on every page). Trust me....it rarely produces the results you're looking for.
I think the biggest problem is that phpbb forums have too much going on and it confuses the adsense bot and so it has to spider a page multiple times before it can figure out a main focus. For a while the only ads I could get to display were driven by the keyword "calender" and it was because of the calendar function on integramod.
But as I said they do work fine now. I took them out of the inline ad area and they work much better.
