Best Wordpress Plugin for Adsense

Here is the best plugin I have found for displaying Adsense ads on Wordpress blogs. If you visit the Wordpress Plugins page you will see plenty of hype about the Adsense Deluxe Plugin. I tried that but I found the settings very fiddly. I carried on searching and eventually I found something better. The easy Adsense plugin that I am using here will show your Adsense ads in the middle of 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 it works really well for me. After trying the Adsense Deluxe plugin without success I had also tried some widgets and other plugins, and I was even looking at some paid tools. They were all complicated to install and I was wondering 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. If I managed to install this plugin in less than five minutes, then you can probably do it in three!
Wordpress Plugin for Google Adsense
1. Download the plugin to your computer and upload it to your web host server under ”wp-content’ – ‘plugins’. The best way to upload the plugin is by using FTP. If you have not already found a free FTP service, try Core FTP. Once the plugin is uploaded, go to your Wordpress control panel and there are two quick things to do.
2. 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’
3. 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.
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.
The best features of the “Adsense Injection” plugin are that it will insert Adsense codes 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.
Thus, you will not have to worry about what’s called “ad blindness” as your Adsense blocks will appear in different positions within your content. You can also randomize different ad formats and different alignments to make sure that no two pages have the exact Adsense codes on them.
