Great tutorial Gary. You always create great reads. Thanks.

This is a good tip Garry!

I simplified mine a bit. I used to just use a div (or span) to complete all of the above in one step:

adsensesqaure.php is the php file I use for my AdSense square. You could also just paste the code there inside the div (or span). Some people prefer everything in the stylesheet, but I have a few things I like to simplify whenever possible

Of course, you can now just use the Shylock AdSense plugin, which also allows you to not show the ads until a set amount of time has passed.

Hmm, your code command didn’t work. Let me try this again

Sorry for the spam. Looks like it won’t let me put the code in.

Thanks for the tip and the approach. I am using Drupal and a plugin to inject the ads, so all I had to do was change the format of the ads from centred to float: left as you suggest, and the job was done in about two minutes including testing and fixing typos.

Now that the change has been made I’ll wait and see by how much it improves revenue.

You can do the same thing much more simpler. All you need to do is to add the adsense code inside a div tag with style=”float:left”. Refresh the page and you can see adsense or any other ad wrapped with the text.

Good stuff, Garry. I feel it’s worth mentioning to those of your readers who write sponsored posts that including ads in such posts aren’t permitted (or least I’ve been bitten a time or two). While your method will definitely work for people who don’t write paid-for posts, using what Nirmal suggested along with something like the Adsense Deluxe plugin will help people choose when to add ads to their posts.

These are the kind of handy hints and tips that I really like reading about in a post and also the discussion in the comments from other bloggers.

Kyle - I’ve not seen Shylock before, but that could be a pretty cool plugin to try out, it sounds like you’re rewarding regular readers that would read your new posts and not see the ads, with the ads only appearing on the older posts usually found by search engine traffic!

thanks for the tips Garry. I usually use ready made wp theme for this purpose. Your tips will def. help me to improve it.

Why download a plugin? That is absurd. Just wrap a div style around the ad code. If you use Adsense Manager, you can have it call whatever you want. I have mine called inline-200 that way if I want to change the ad in that slot, I just edit the code in Adsense manager instead of having to remember single.php, or even where it is located in the source.

Example (remove spaces):

Like mentioned above, this goes after the /h2 and before entry. Now say you are using adsense for that block, but you want to switch it to TTZ media. All you do is go to the Adsense Manager and edit the code for inline-200. Boom it is changed. No hunting, no remembering. It is fool proof.

Very good article here; but I used a plugin instead.
