Here is the best plugin I have found for putting Adsense contextual ads on WordPress – this easy little plugin will integrate your Adsense ads in your WordPress posts and pages and float the text round them seamlessly. This has to improve your clickthrough rates! I found this free plugin by searching on Google Code and I am sooo pleased with it. I had already tried some widgets and other plugins, and I was looking at some paid tools. They were all complicated to install and manage. I was starting to wonder if I would ever be able to place Adsense ads around my WordPress blog posts. So what is the magic WordPress plugin that I love so much? It is called ‘Adsense Injection’, and it will insert Adsense into your blog without a lot of ****ing about. That is just the type of thing I was looking for. And if I managed to install this plugin in less than five minutes, then you can probably do it in three! All you do is download the plugin and upload it to your server under ”wp-content’ – ‘plugins’.  The best way to upload the plugin is by using FTP – my favourite is Core FTP, which is totally free and simple to use.

The “Adsense Injection” plugin will insert Adsense codes, for example, automatically into every blog post, including older posts.

This is great if your blog already has a lot of existing content, and you don’t want to insert codes manually into all of them. As the name suggests, when you use Adsense Injection you “inject” your Adsense codes automatically and randomly into all previous and future blog posts.

You will not have to worry about what is called “ad blindness” as your Adsense blocks will appear in different positions within your content. You can also randomise different ad formats and different alignments to make sure that no two pages have the exact Adsense codes on them.

Once the plugin is uploaded, go to your WordPress control panel and there are two quick things to do.

1. Click the ‘Plugins’ section and you should now see an entry for ‘Adsense Injection’. If you look at the ‘Action’ column you just need to click on ‘Activate’

2. You will now see a button called ‘Adsense’ in your ‘Options’ section. All you have to do is click on this and fill in your Adsense publisher ID number and check the colour codes for your ads.

You can choose the “Do not show me my own ads” option – so if you need to view your own wordpress posts, there is no risk of clicking your Adsense ads in error.  You can also block Adsense from appearing in individual posts by inserting the tag <!–noadsense–> at the start of the blog post.

The only thing lacking in this plugin is the ability to exclude Adsense image ads, because most Adsense publishers find that image ads do not get such a high clickthrough rate as text ads. If I find out how to exclude image ads using this plugin I will post an update.

There are many websites that link to animal grooming services, as I have discovered since becoming a dog owner. Make sure the company that you use are sensitive to each pet’s varied needs and temperament.
