On a few of my blogs I am running AdSense revenue sharing plugins so that authors can earn money from their posts via AdSense ads. But now Google have made that impossible(?). Because Google have apparently started to check the pub ID against the owner of the "ad_slot" ID. That means that the co-authors ads wont be shown because the two dont match... Is there any way to solve this!?
From where did you get the news that google has started to check the pub ID against the owner ad slot? I mean here on DP ad revenue system is in place and there doesn't seem to be any news about that... if it affects one person, it will affect everyone but so far I don't think there is anything wrong....
Hmm... this could be interesting. One idea, zk0, would be to use the old-fashioned Adsense code with all the color/style info right in it. If you look at DP's source, you'll see they still use that (so there's no mention of the ad_slot.) <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-123456789"; google_ad_width = 468; google_ad_height = 60; google_ad_format = "468x60_as"; google_color_border = "8888FF"; google_color_bg = "CCCCFF"; google_color_link = "000066"; google_color_url = "222222"; google_color_text = "222222"; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> Code (markup):
I've investigated this further and it seems this, so far, only affects the new adsense codes. Hmm yeah that could be an option. But how do I get the "old" codes for the majority of the ad sizes? And how long will these "older" codes stay working?
Just switch the ad size numbers. For example: google_ad_width = 728; google_ad_height = 90; google_ad_format = "728x90_as"; Or... google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 600; google_ad_format = "120x600_as"; Change those three lines to whatever size you want. I have a feeling they'll function for quite a while.
