Code that Disallows More than 3 Adsense Ads

    Hello people,

    I was wondering if any of you knew of any sort of script or code that would disallow more than three ads being placed on any page.

    The problem I have is that I'm using a wordpress blog and I like my ads to be at the top of each post however if I do that then I'll have 10 ads on the homepage.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks! :)

    Thanks for the tip frisby. I've been all over wordpress and google trying to find something that does this and I can't find anything for the life of me. :(

    Find what you want for advertising on your blog here. 1 minute of searching and I don't use WordPress. ;)

    Bye.

    Thanks again frisby. I saw that page before but the title of the plugin that is supposed to work 'MooseCandy' threw me off.

    MooseCandy Plugin doesn't work but there's a great page I stumbled upon that shows you how to control your adsense placement very easily.

    There is a similar module for drupal users, but since you have the solution, i guess no need
    unless drupal does it better :)

    // simple php function
    $adsense_count = 0;
    function adsense_show($codenum) {
    global $adsense_count;
    $adsense_codes = array("CODE 1","CODE 2","CODE 3");
    if($adsense_count < 3){
    echo $adsense_codes[$codenum];
    }
    $adsense_count++;
    }
    
    Code (markup):
    using

    
    (content)
    <?php
    adsense_show(0);
    adsense_show(1);
    adsense_show(2);
    adsense_show(1);
    adsense_show(2);
    ?>
    
    Code (markup):
    it will only show 3 adsense ads ;)

    Putting more than allowed number of ad units is against Google TOS, better not try it.

    It is automatic, Google does it for you.

    No, what Google does is leave a big honking white space where the ad should be (unless you're using the HTML file they provide to collapse the space). I use a similar approach to LucasMS but simpler:

    
    $postcount = 0;
    
    // WP code to display post goes here
    
    $postcount++;
    if ($postcount < 3) { ?><!-- AS code goes here --><?php } ?>
    
    Code (markup):
    No need for functions or arrays. Then again I don't need to use different codes for each post. :shrug:

    It is automatic, and Google does do it for you, but you STILL CAN'T have more than 3 Adsense code blocks on a given page.

    Yea, I tried the MooseCandy plugin several times and it didn't work. Maybe it's just because it's not compatible with the newest WP, or maybe I just really suck :D but it's such an easy solution even without a plugin.

    Thanks for all the help everyone! :)
