Placing Adsense in Worpress blogs

Hi

On this diagram from Google:

http://adsense.blogspot.com/uploaded_images/Blogtimize-779149.JPG

They place a med rectangle inbetween each post. Question: Is there a way you can do this automatically in the typical wordpress template or do you have to do them manually each time you post ?

Also are these generally considered the placements for blogs ?

Cheers.

 

I have found this code which is supposed to do it:

<?php $adcount++; if($adcount==3){ ?> put your code here <?php } ?>



Where would you put it to make it work in the presumabley somewhere in the page.php file ?

Cheers.

 

I use the adsense plug-in by Phil Hord, which you can download here: http://philhord.com/wp-hacks/adsense.zip . I prefer to put the code in manually, as I dont want it showing up after every single post. On some pages (category listings, etc) this would cause more than 3 adsense blocks to show up... which is against TOS.

I put a Large Rectangle at the top of each category page, by the way. You can see that here: http://www.clicknewz.com/category/conferences-seminars/ . And I put a Large Rectangle at the end of my posts (between the post and the comments), which you can see here: http://www.clicknewz.com/27/medical-coding/#more-27

Granted, the second may not be the most profitable placement for a blog. But I'm torn on putting Adsense "above the fold" or anywhere where it would be in the way of my content. At least for now.

 

Hi Lynn,

Thanks for the info, I will look at that tool.

On this page http://www.clicknewz.com/category/conferences-seminars/

Have you always had the block to the left or have you tried it in the centre aswell & left got the better CTR ?

I have just put mine centre but now ive looked at yours wondering if you have already tried both ?

Cheers.

 

This blog is actually fairly new - less than a month old... so no, I havent tested that. It seemed to make sense to left align it so that it fell in line with the content on that page... or at least it did to me.

 

I use the MW theme for my blogs that have Adsense. It works rather well, though it does require you to change the whole theme of your site, which might not be to everyone's taste.

 

yes this can be done automaticaly by just adding adsense code once.

Here is the way
Go to WP_CONTENTS folder
Go to THEMES folder in side WP_contetns folder
Go to Default/ any template of your choice and look for the code as below in index.php

<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permalink"><?php the_title();
?></a></h2>

Add your adsense code just above this, your each post will get adsense block of your choice above the post.

You can see the example here I have used http://www.4stepstomoney.com (I hope moderators allow link with cause).

Good Luck

How does this look ? I am adding a 'banner' right below the title automatically.
(still can't post live links )

 

That blends nicely with your site.

 

Thanks. Lets see what kind of CTR i end up getting from this.
