Using The Old AdSense Code

Is there still a way to generate the old AdSense code that has all the colors and variables in the javascript? I don't like having to log in to AdSense to manage my ads and change colors and all that.

 

No, you have to find a website using the old code, and simply replace the pub id with yours. From there you have to hand edit the code for the desired color, etc.

 

Do you suppose the old code will stop working at some point?

 

Google said they will continue supporting the old code.

 

Well, I have saved an old code for Adsense, and amend the ad formats and color schemes by myself. Of course, I will make the code that looks exactly the same as it was generated by Google in the past.

 

I m using old codes for my few sites! thinking to generate more codes using color css and styles

 

Here's a Generic Blue on White you should be able to modify however you want

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-youridhere";
google_alternate_color = "FFFFFF";
google_ad_width = 234;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = "234x60_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "0000FF";
google_color_text = "000000";
google_color_url = "000000";
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

 

I've not used the new code yet since the old code works better (more control) and I use the themes I sell on my own sites, and there's no way to use the new code on AdSense ready themes since the colours etc... are hosted at Google AdSense and so AdSense wouldn't work for my customers.

I used to use the changing colour code on some sites, you can't do that with the new code. With the old code you can list up to 4 different colour schemes per ad unit, every time an ad unit is accessed one of the four schemes is used.
See an example here http://mark-twain.classic-literature.co.uk/book-store/, just refresh the page to see the colour change.

After I made my first few ad units I stopped using the ad unit creator, would use sites like http://www.webreference.com/html/reference/color/websafe.html for the colour codes or open PaintShop Pro and get them from there

check this site.. http://www.adsense-generator.com

 

I still use the old adsense code with channels because the new adsense code with slot are nto detecting channels...

it's always better to use old adsense code as you can add different channels without the need to create slots again...

 

I m using old codes for every my websites.

 

i also using it and i think google allowed

 

with the old code, the entire ad is clickable rather than just the "link" and url on the ads on the new code. I think I got more clicks when I used the old code.

 

The only thing that sucks is you can't generate channels for the old code on the site now, right? Cause you wouldn't know what your channel variable is. But what if you use URL channels? Then you don't even need the channel variable in the AdSense code, right?

 

I've not tried to make a channel for the old code since I only track earnings per domain (got so many).

I did a lot of channel testing to determine where best to put ads etc... a couple of years back and just use that info on all sites (with minor alterations) so URL channels is more than enough info for my needs.

I guess you'd have to use the new code for channel testing now.
