Adsense: Blogger Scripting in An Ad-Host ID In Script, but not Legacy...

JamesMSpacey · 10-09-2010, 12:38 AM

I've been mucking around with some Blogger blogs recently and I was creating ads from Adsense Manager and slotting them in but decided to scrap that and just code in Legacy.

Anyway, a couple of things intrigued me.

First, I found when I was putting legacy code into the text/HTML boxes to swap out the javascript I notice Blogger seemed to have scripted in a line of code:

google_ad_host = "pub-155*******109";
(not my pub-ID).

I'd delete it and save... and then it would be back. Cheeky buggers. Does anyone know whether this gives them a cut of the revenue, or otherwise what it's all about??

Second, I found my legacy ads would produce immediate relevant ads on the site, but the javascript ads from Ad Manager would take a few hours to show good ads. Just another reason I prefer to use legacy most of the time.

Any thoughts/experience here?
