Both, tricky. On the welcome page, I would have to join a network to see if the Custom Code Box is even read at that point. You might want to ask Ning. If the Custom Code Box isn't loaded, it's not possible.

On the activity feed, you have to make sure you only show the ad one time, and not multiple times. If you show more than once in any given feed, Google won't display it. I actually wrote this code not long ago, and forget what I decided. =) I'll let you know.

Best,

Jen

Bill,

I wrote the code, and it never worked on my test site. But, not unusual for Google Ad not to show on a test site. The trick is: just adding to the first child of the activity feed, otherwise Google won't display the ads. Here's the code. In theory it should work:

<!-- Insert Special Content - Above Activity Feed  -->
<div id="tmp_topaf" style="display:none;">
<!-- YOUR CODE STARTS HERE -->
<center>
your google ad code
</center>
<!-- YOUR CODE ENDS HERE -->
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof(x$) != 'undefined') {
    x$(".xg_widget_main .feed-story:first-child").after('<div style="margin-left:100px;width:475px;font-size:12px; background-color:#FFFFFF!important; color:#000000; margin-top:15px; margin-bottom:15px;padding:5px;" class="xg_module" id="topaf"></div>');
    var t_topafCode = document.getElementById('tmp_topaf');
    var topafCode = document.getElementById('topaf');
    topafCode.innerHTML = t_topafCode.innerHTML;
}
</script>
<!-- End Insert Special Content - Above Activity Feed -->

Hi Bill,

I installed this on JenSocial live site. The ads don't change. Apparently it's not picking up content from the page, but the activity. Not good. I suggest using this code to install another type ad.

Best,

Jen
