Anyone Using Advertising Manager For Adsense?

Just wondering if anyone else here is using Advertising Manager to handle their adsense in their wordpress blogs.

I like the way the plugin works however I see it's against adsense TOS to have adsense show up on pages without any content (About,Privacy Policy ,Contact etc) and I use it as a side widget so it shows on every page so I was wondering if anybody knows how to get around this?

Thanks!

    I use that plugin and I never even thought about this issue. Isn't that the same with all plugins? Can you really get nailed for having adds in your sidebar on the contact page?

    If so, I need some advise also.

      Well if it's against their TOS then I guess they can kick you out for it. I'd rather be safe than sorry in case they decide to do a manual review of my site and see that I wasn't complying with their TOS.

      I may just have to edit the template manually to stop it from showing on certain pages I guess...........next question........anyone know how to edit template so it doesn't show on certain pages :-)

    I wonder if it would be dumb to just put adsense on the posts themselves and not have it in the sidebar? Then you could only show 3 posts on the home page, but it might be a better CTR anyway.

    What you could do is create a page template that uses a different sidebar than the rest of the site.

    The steps would be:
    * Duplicate the current page.php template, and add a page template name to the top of it
    * Add a new widget area to the functions.php file
    * Duplicate the sidebar.php file, call it sidebar2.php and have it call the new widget area instead of the standard one
    * Have the page template call your new sidebar file instead of the standard one.

    Sounds a bit complex, but if your files aren't too long, you can post the code for your page.php, sidebar.php and functions.php files in here and I'll show you what to change.

    Just paste the code into a post and wrap in in the php tags by hitting the php button at the top of the post editor here.

    Can some post the exact terminology that is used in the Adsense TOCs? This could be a storm in a tea cup
