Joomla and Adsense

I just found the world of Joomla and love it but I need to know that it works and plays well with Adsense. If so it will cut dev time down considerably.
Anyone have any success?

 

Joomla works very good with adsense. there are also components available for integrating adsense in joomla.

 

Super Easy, really slick. Here is my Joomla project with adsense

It's pretty easy to integrate the Adsense into the template, but integrating Adsense into the content (where most of your revenue will be made) is not easy. The only way to do it is to add the code to every content item individually. That creates a lot of overhead in a site like mine that has hundreds of articles.

I would be interested in trying out one of the adsense hacks to see if it alleviates the problem. If not, I'll probably program a global replacement variable system to store my Adsense ads in.

 

Joomla and Mambo are quite easy and they get good PR pretty fast.

 

With Mambo I have them on the content pages. Took me a while to try and find out . It's easy to put them either on top of the content and/or at the bottom.

You just place the script in the content.php and it works fine with every new article etc.

Just tried it again and can confirm that it works great with banner size on top and the bottom

 

Top or bottom is not good enough. Adsense within content will outperform other placements by a factor of at least 2:1. It's more like 10:1 on my best performing site.

 

yes that's a fact, to bad it's impossible with blogspot . there should be sollutions for this wright?

 

To get adsense within content: create a new module position and a new module set to iuse that position. Place adsense in the module and align it left or right or whatever you want. Then, let's say you named the new module position "article-right", then all you have to do is type "{mosloadposition article-right}" within the content and it loads the module into the content.

 

Can someone explain what joomla is? Is it software based or server based?

 

Read all about it: http://www.joomla.org/content/view/154/52/

 

cant you just do an adsense placement betwee the content with a floating div? In the template file, where the content goes ad an <div style="float:right">adsense here</div> and the content will wrap around it.

 

what joomla is?

Joomla! is one of the most powerful Open Source Content Management Systems on the planet. It is used all over the world for everything from simple websites to complex corporate applications. Joomla! is easy to install, simple to manage, and reliable.

 

I know what joomla is. Thanks.

Can someone explain what Mambo is? same as joomla ?

 

Have you tried the adsense mambot to integrate the ads.
Works fine for me

and..here is small how-to on placing adsense block right at the hottest area in heat-map

Good part with mambo/joomla is that you don't have get your hand dirty for simple things like these. There are so many extensions (components, modules, mambots) available for what you have described below.

 

Wow, I'm going to have to try that. Thanks for the tip!

 

This is really not much different (and no easier) than simply adding the adsense ad in the template code.

 

you are right. in fact adding adsense code directly to template may be faster.

But being as module, you have flexibility to enable/disable the module, change (say) channel id, colors on the fly without having to bother about FTPing your files back and forth. Additionally you can move the module around with much more ease than you could do with modifying template files.

On top of it, in case you decide to change the template you don't have to go through new template files doing same things again!
