Place AdSense Ad Unit In Various Positions Inside Within Blogger Post Contents
by leothemaster (01/12/2008 - 01:48)
There is trick to add Google AdSense and other advertising network such as AdBrite ad unit right beside and inside within Blogger post content, so that the ad block will appear wrapped and floated inline to the top left or top right next to the blog text. If you do not like this layout and dislike the prominent location the ads are displayed, there are other places within blog post to put the ad code.
The guide below provides tips and tricks on where should the parsed HTML ad code (after replacing several special characters with HTML code) be pasted and inserted in the Blogger XML-based template. In essence, the steps are exactly the same when positioning the ad next to and within post content, except that the text string to search (where to paste the ad code) is different.
To recap, go to Blogger Template tab for the blog you want to change, then click on Edit HTML. Remember to tick Expand Widget Templates check box, and perform the backup.
Wrap Around Next to the Post and Float to Left or Right
The ad banner will appear below post title but above and before the start of blog content. It’s actually exactly the same with tip above to wrap AdSense around the post, except that now the ad unit does not float but instead been place at the center without wrapping, and thus pushing content below it.
Search for the line of:
<p><data:post.body/></p>
Paste the parsed Google AdSense ad code inside <center><div> and </div></center> right before the above line so that it looks like below after change:
<div class=’post-header-line-1′/>
<div class=’post-body entry-content’> <center><div>[parsed Google AdSense ad code]</div></center> <p><data:post.body/></p> <div style=’clear: both;’/> <!– clear for photos floats –> </div>
After Post Content Before Footer Credits
The Google AdSense ad unit or other display ads banner will appear at the bottom of the blog post, after the end of content and just before the ending credits, within inside the post.
Search for:
<div class=’post-footer’>
Paste the parsed Google AdSense ad code inside <div> and </div> right before the above line so that it looks like below after change:
<div class=’post-body entry-content’> <p><data:post.body/></p> <div style=’clear: both;’/> <!– clear for photos floats –> </div> <div>[parsed Google AdSense ad code]</div> <div class=’post-footer’>
To center the ads unit, add the wrapper of <center> and </center>.
After Footer Credits
Unlike the above where the ad unit appear before the credit right after post content, this time the ad unit will appear after the credit for the post is displayed. The easiest way to achieve the task is using built-in feature of “Show Ads Between Posts” in Blogger. Turn off and enable the feature will display ads between posts when view in home, index or category pages, and also at the bottom most part when view in single individual post page view.
If you plan to use non-AdSense ads or want to add in custom channels, you have to manually edit the template HTML to add in the ad code. In this case, search for:
<p class=’post-footer-line post-footer-line-3′/>
Paste the parsed Google AdSense ad code inside <div> and </div> right after the above line so that it looks like below after change:
<p class=’post-footer-line post-footer-line-3′/> <div>[parsed Google AdSense ad code]</div> </div> </div> </b:includable>
To center the ads unit, add the wrapper of <center> and </center>.
Between Posts
After it’s pretty much similar to the above where ads appear after post footer. So just follow tips above.
Please notice that some of the references mentioned below have already been published in our Dr. Web Magazine in September. Brian from Designbliss used some of the references and expanded the collection with further icon-sets and tutorials in his article Over 35 Styles of RSS Icons. In this post we’ve taken a profound look at what is available on the Web and collected our best findings.
Please notice that also wide-spread icon sets and templates such as FamFamFam Silk Icons and vector templates by GoSquared include RSS-buttons. Not all of them are included.
Earn Extra Money With Google Adsense Revenue Sharing!
by leothemaster (01/01/2008 - 12:27)
Adsense Revenue Sharing is a great way to earn extra income by taking part in the community on other web sites. Often the Adsense revenue shared is between 50 and 100 percent for the content that you add to the specific site. This content could be in the form of a forum thread that you start, an article, a video or picture, a blog, or other types of content.
If you spread your efforts across different sites, you could make some decent income. It is also an effective way of generating income for your own site by giving the visitors an incentive to contribute and keep returning.
First though, you need to sign up for Google Adsense, which you can do so by clicking on the link below:
*If you wish to have your site listed, simply add a comment with the relevant information. We’ll check it out and possibly list it. Also, if you notice a change in the status of a site listed above, please leave a comment about the change.
Each AdSense publisher receives a percentage of the cost an advertiser pays for user clicks or impressions on their ad. This percentage is referred to as the revenue share. Google does not disclose the revenue share for AdSense.
To protect your Adsense Publisher ID you can now specify which sites are allowed to have your adsense code. If a site is not in that list and adsense ads are displayed there, then no earnings will come to you and any clickbombing or site violation in that site will not affect your account’s good standing. If you are suspicious of a site’s standing with Google, do not give them your Adsense Publisher ID (pub-#########).
If you already did, you can now block that url from being included in your Adsense revenue within the Adsense Options menu.
