adding adsense to phpbb 3 forum

do you want to add adsense advertising to your forum.
i could add adsense to the top of my forum by adding the code in the overall_header.htm file, i added it at the end of the file.
the important thing is that when i added it to the file manulay and then uploaded the file it didn't work, i succeded only when i changed the file through the admin system.
same i did with the google analytics code, i added it to the same file, but after the header tag.
if someone could do that after the first post only please write it here.

Beta Version for arabic language Google Adsense

Lately the google adsense for content started to support arabic language websites, the www.arabsites.co.il website administrator said that his site is utf-8 incoded and two weeks ago he started to show ads in his site, more he said, the pay per click still low, it's about 1-2 centes per click, but i guess when the time pass, more advertisers will know about the service and they will pay beter for a click.
the first report was on the arabic seo forum www.seoarabia.com

register a domain name - how to do it

if you want to build a website you need few thing for starting it successfully.
first, you should know if you site will be visited by a lot of visitors or few, that is a very important thing, because if you expect a high number of visitors, you should get a dedicated server , a standart hosting plan cant hold alot of traffic.
for good hosting plans i suggest to see what brinkster company offer, i work with them and i like it there.
they suggest you a free domain for each hosting plan, but i don't like that, i prefer to buy the domain name by my self, it's cheap (8.99$) and easy, i do that with godaddy, they have a great control panel that make it easy to manage my domains, and i have alot of them.
i already had on accident with a company that gave me a free domain, and after it expired the didn't renew that and i lost it with all my visitors. so watch out with that!
register a domain name:
so how to register a domain name? it's easy step but so important, i suggest you to register your domain in the main extensions like .com, .net , .info (it's cheap 1$ only) and .mobi (if you see that there is a use to your site with mobile)

how to choose your hosting plan
basicly you can choose a professional hosting plan, but if you think that a lot of users will be visiting you site you should change your choice, i got a basic host plan and i'm hosting many websites on it, i get 5000 visitors each day, i think it's the limit of this plan, so i think if you think you'll have more than this number of visitors daily, you should take a dedicated server.
if your websitet build with php/asp/.net/jsp
you should pay attention for that also, if you take a windows server so you should use asp/.net or you should check if the server support php, brinkster server support aslo php on their windows servers.
