How do I move my Google AdSense Ads in the middle of my Page?
I liked very much your article on how to improve click thru on Google Ads in your article Double your AdSense PPC Click-Through Rate, but my problem is how do I integrate the Google ads in the middle of the article instead of the end? I suspect a code tweak of sorts is needed. On my blog I have the Google ads at the bottom, but perhaps they should be in the middle somewhere. I use WordPress and the Kubrick CSS template for my blog.
Thanks for your kind note. Yes, it took me a while to figure out how to have the Google AdSense advertising appear in the middle of my Weblog entries rather than at the end, and the clue on how this is accomplished is that if you poke around on the home page, category pages and search results page, you'll see that only the questions are displayed, you have to click onto the individual article page to get the answer. I don't know WordPress very well, but Movable Type splits up Weblog entries into three blocks, the Entry Body, the Extended Entry and the Excerpt. The Entry Body is where I enter the question, and the answer is specified as being the Extended Entry of the article. If I had a custom RSS feed or wanted to have different information in the feed than in the article, I'd enter that into the Excerpt box: leaving it blank means that MT does its own thing when generating information for the feed instead. Now, with the Q&A format split neatly into two sections, it's just a matter of including the Google AdSense code between the two, and that's done within the actual MT Individual Entry template itself. That should be enough to get you traveling down this path if you're so inclined. You can move the AdSense JavaScript-built code block to one side or the other by using either CSS (use "float:left" or "float:right") or by wrapping the code in a TABLE that has <table align="left"> or similar.

Dave - I actually found a plugin for Wordpress that will insert the Adsense code, I've blogged about it, so people can find the solution there. Posted by: Jim Williams at February 12, 2005 4:46 PMThanks, it really helps. I used Wordpress and sometimes I found the Google ads placed in the wrong area. The most annoying happened when it went into a table, make the column went as wide as the table. Oops, it happened again! I added float: left but the ads went somewhere in the table column Posted by: Erwin Kodiat at September 28, 2005 7:13 PMThis site was very helpful. I was able to just paste the Google adsense script code into the Master Index Temple html right before the "" tag and it now inserts the adsense advert after each blog entry on the main index.html page. This worked perfect for my default MT template. Posted by: werdmodo at January 10, 2006 6:43 PMThanks for the post, I searched high and low for this. Posted by: Benoit at April 21, 2006 2:21 PMI have a lot to say, but ...
I do have a comment, now that you mention it!
