Great advice. When we started to implement this on all of our sites, we tripled our $$$.
Don’t hesitate to show the ads, they are part of the landscape now and it’s almost like people have to click on that little blue link.

I started to use that because it does not mess so much with other things but have the problem that I quote quite often (see for example here http://ideengeberin.de/blog/artikel-100.html) but it messes up with my blockquotes.

Also, if you can work a bit with your code, you can choose to display such add based on the date of the entry.

I use this on my main blog: Only entries older than 2 days have this inline advertisement. I think this is okay for bloggers so search engine users see it, but not the normal blogreaders. :)

Good point Leonivek – this is not a strategy you can as easily do on a Blogger blog as it doesn’t have an individual archive like WP or MT does.

You’re right Tom in suggesting that the above strategy is what you do with WP – put it on your individual entry (some call it a single entry) template not your ‘main’ one or you’ll end up with the ads on every post which both doesn’t look good and is against Adsense’s rules.

Does anyone have any thoughts or tips on how to properly integrate the 350 X 250 pixel google ad block within WordPress 1.5 ?

I think the proper way to do it is to place Darren’s code above within your SINGLE.PHP file which should reside in the directory of your themes folder (the one you are using).

I have been having waaaay too much fun hacking away with the new wordpress 1.5. This should be illegal to have this much fun. hehe.

I had originally done this also on my blog when I first started, but it showed for every post on my main page, far exceeding Adsense’s policy of a maximum of 3 ads per page. So I stopped that.

Getting to know blogger after a while, I realized that I can add tags that will allow me to show the ads only on the item page.

Now, on my main page, I have 3 ads and 1 Ad-Link. When an item page is currently shown, one of those 3 ads doesn’t show and instead shows within the post.

Hopefully this will help increase click-throughs.

But are you not fiddling with the Adsense code and TOS by inserting div tags between the code?

I’ve increased my CTR quite a bit by employing that technique (and others as well), and I use a format that doesn’t crowd things too much.
