Need Advice On How To Avoid 3 Adsense Block Limit w/ Wordpress

by Mgriff
11 replies
I have a worpress site with about 10 posts on the homepage. A total of 50 posts.

I know that you can only have 3 adsense units per page, but I would like to have one adsense block per post.

If I did this, then there would be 10 adsense units on my homepage (1 per post). This would violate adsense guidelines and may get me banned. :confused:

Anyways, Is there a good adsense plugin that will automatically limit the number of adsense ads to 3 per page?

Any other advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

    Why not just set the number of posts that appear on the front page to 3?

      Well, I also would have an adsense block in the sidebar, so then I would only be able to have 2 posts showing which is possible, but not ideal.

      I have heard that there is a plugin to solve this problem, but I don't know what it is.

        Doesn't AdSense Manager (WP plugin) do that for you?

        If not, just edit your theme so that the AdSense code will only display on the first three posts on a page.

        Put the block in the side, and then use advertisement management plugin to add the ad in each post. I also recommend if you use a square to put it in a div and set the text to wrap around it. the css would be something like

        Code:
        <div style="display:block; float:right; margin:5px"> adsense here</div>
        I just punched that off the top of my head so double check by doing a google search.

        Go to settings and select reading, set 2 posts to show on homepage.

        Also don't worry about displaying too many, if you have 5 posts on the homepage it will only show 3 ads anyways.

          This is exactly what I was looking for. Thanks so much for the help. And yes, I agree with the text wrap css that you mentioned.

          Jeremy,
          To be clear, is the plugin you are referring to called Advertising Manager? Just want to make sure I have the right one.
          Thanks again

        You can edit the Main Index Template at index.php to strip the adsense from the posts inserted on that page.

        I don't know of a plugin that does that for you, but if you can do some basic php hacking, you could do it yourself with a preg_replace.

        The folks in the Programming Talk Sub Forum might be able to help you.

          Easier than pi.

          <?php
          if ( $post_count <= 3) { echo "<!-- insert ad code here -->"; }
          ?>

            Nice suggestion Dan, but I think he put the actual Adsense code inside of his post.

          A little too technical for me, but thanks anyways for the tip.
