Adsense Plugin for Wordpress

Here is the best plugin I have found for Wordpress blogs so far - this easy little plugin will integrate your Adsense ads in your Wordpress posts and pages and float the text round them seamlessly. This has to improve your clickthrough rates! I found this free plugin by searching on Google Code and I am sooo pleased with it. I had already tried some widgets and other plugins, and I was looking at some paid tools. They were all complicated to install and I was wondering if I would ever be able to place Adsense ads around my Wordpress blog posts. So what is the magic Wordpress plugin that I love so much? It is called ‘Adsense Injection’, and it will ‘insert Adsense into your blog. If I managed to install this plugin in less than five minutes, then you can probably do it in three! All you do is doanload the plugin and upload it to your server under ”wp-content’ - ‘plugins’. The best way to upload the plugin is by using FTP. Once the plugin is uploaded, go to your Wordpress control panel and there are two quick things to do.

1. Click the ‘Plugins’ section and you should now see an entry for ‘Adsense Injection’. If you look at the ‘Action’ column you just need to click on ‘Activate’

2. You will now see a button called ‘Adsense’ in your ‘Options’ section. All you have to do is click on this and fill in your Adsense publisher ID number and check the colour codes for your ads.

The only thing lacking in this plugin is the ability to exclude Adsense image ads, because most Adsense publishers find that image ads do not get such a high clickthrough rate as text ads.  If I find out how to exclude image ads using this plugin I will post an update.

    Thanks for this - I’ll grab it now and try it out. Would be nice to have my blog posts wrap around the google adsense ad, as that’s a recommended optimization technique… Thanks - Vern at AimforAwesome.com
