Lack of Ads on EnkayBlog.com?
Posted on August 13, 2007 | By Enkay | Leave a Comment | 786 Views
I was talking to my buddy Abdalla from Sweethacks.com when he was telling me how one of his upcoming websites, Xaasid, is making good use of Adsense by embedding the ads within the posts. I was a little surprised because my blog here also has ads embedded within the posts. Until recently, I didn’t have any other formats of Google Adsense ads on the blog. The only other form of ad you will see is on each post page there is a small horizontal image ad. When I typically write posts for my blog, I decide whether or not to put the ads on each post and it all started off because I didn’t want to exceed the 3 ad maximum set by Google.
After talking to Abdalla, I realized that JohnChow has a system where he runs 3 ads on the first 3 posts of his blog. This reminded me of a plug-in called Adsense Deluxe. Although, Adsense Deluxe isn’t as full featured as Adsense Manager that I normally use, I realized that with Adsense Deluxe I can maximize the number of ads that I run on the blog by having the plug-in pick the posts to put the ads on. Another thing that came about as a result of this was that I noticed that when I was picking the posts to put the ads on, I would probably only have one or two posts on a page. It was rare to find a page that made use of all 3 ad blocks. I began to look around and wondered how many people used Adsense Deluxe and how many used Adsense Manager. Both of the plug-ins are pretty popular and in an earlier post I had even featured Adsense Manager.
Either way, let me know your thoughts on how well your Adsense integration is going. I realized that my Adsense revenue may be lacking because there were hardly any ads on the site. I have now installed the Adsense Deluxe plug-in and will try to utilize my ad blocks and hopefully by the next month, I will see a change in earnings.
Update [August 13th @ 12:36] - Adsense Manager has been banned from Google due to some sort of violation. I received an email today and so I have gone through and completely removed the Adsense Manager plug-in. I wanted to inform those of you who may be using the plug-in, that it may be a good idea to switch to Adsense Deluxe or Shylock Adsense Plug-in. Thanks again!

Enkay you can try to use shylock adsense plugin where you can insert new adsense in your old article automatically. where you can set the time to change the adsense ads. maybe that can help you.
Hey, I will be looking into that plug-in too. I went with Adsense Deluxe for now but I have downloaded and uploaded the shylock adsense plugin too. I will be experimenting with the plugins every 2 to 3 weeks to see which one works the best. Thanks again for your tip! I didn’t know that plugin existed!
Not a big deal enkay…..
thanks for the tips! to see where you put them you might want to use this technique available at crazyegg.com! check it out it will definitely help with ad placement!
Hey Mahdi! Thanks for the tip on crazyegg.com! I just signed up and it seems to be working well. I figure if all goes well, then I will do a report on it after crazyegg sends me a report! Thanks
Adsense Deluxe will help you maintain your ads and also makes sure no more than 3 ad units appear on your site at any one time which complies with the google adsense terms and conditions.
Oh, thanks for the links
Yeah, I installed the Adsense Deluxe plug-in to give it a try. I didn’t realize that I only had a max of 1 or 2 ads on an entire page of 5 posts!
That shylock one sounds like something I would be interested in. Do you have a link for that one Enkay?
I just started implementing Adsense on my site, but just have a horizontal banner beneath some posts. I would like to do the embedded ads, but don’t want to actually have it in the post content, I would prefer to keep all the ad coding in the theme template.
Hey Nick.

As for Adsense Manager, I have removed it from the website mainly because it has recently been banned by Google. I just got notice of this today so please do not consider Adsense Manager as it is no longer being distributed by the author. Thanks!
plugin banned by google hmmmm, I need to find out why
Ooops!!! Plug in banned by THEM? What happened? Why they banned this stuff? We can’t rely cent percent Google. we should be very careful with Google, it is more or less equal to sharpened end in both sides…
