How to insert Adsense Code in the Middle of a Post?

[ishuin]

Hello all,

Does anyone know of a way to insert Adsense code in the middle of a long Wordpress post? Assuming posts are usually >450 words and are of variable length.

There's already an Adsense placement at the top and bottom of each post. I thought it'll be good to add one in the middle as well.

Tried adding 160X600 at the sidebar but clickthrough is pathetically low.

Thanks for any advice.

which CMS are you using. Wordpress?

So sorry for the delayed response. I didn't know there was a response to my question.

The answer is yes, I'm using Wordpress.

Actually, I've found a script on the web to do it. But, eventually I didn't use it because due to the nature of my site, inserting an ad automatically in the middle of a page will ruin some of my pages.

I'm reproducing the PHP script here for those who may need a similar script. The script is not from me, so I cannot take credit for it, neither can I provide any support.

//Find an appropriate position near the middle of the content to insert an ad
function insert_ad_in_middle_post($content) {
$output = '';
$positions = array();
$endpos = -1;
$trigger = "<p";
if(strpos($content, "<p") === false)
$trigger = "<br";

while(strpos($content, $trigger, $endpos+1) !== false){
$endpos = strpos($content, $trigger, $endpos+1);
$positions[] = $endpos;
}
$middle = sizeof($positions);
while(sizeof($positions) > $middle)
array_pop($positions);
$triggerpoint = $positions[floor(sizeof($positions)/2)];

if ($middle > 2) {
$ad_style = 'clear:both;margin:15px 0 15px 0;padding:0;border:1px solid #ccc;';
if(is_single()) {
$content = substr_replace($content, '<div style="'.$ad_style.'"><!-- Insert Ad Code --></div>'.$trigger, $triggerpoint, 2);
}
}

$content = $output.$content."<div style='clear:both'></div>";
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'insert_ad_in_middle_post');

right now i m using two types of ad manager plugin for wordpress.

one is advertising manager which allows me to put ad code in sidebar widget and other plugin ( i dont remember the name now) to insert ad code between top , bottom , before comment box . i dont know it allow to put in the middle of post.

i m using mystique theme which has advertising section in theme settings , which that you just need to insert a tab like [ad] between posts.
