I just started this blog and was having no problem with the adds until I changed to a new template. I want to keep this template but my adds are getting cut in half when ever i use a horizontal sequence. Not sure how to fix this....please advise. http://indeliblepoems.blogspot.com/
Looks like a .css problem. Are you using the integrated adsense functionality of blogspot? I am no .css expert, but the easiest way would be to revert to your old template.
Hey....where can i get a template that has the conventional 'contact me' and all that stuff at the top.....these templates look so cheap w/o that stuff. How do i know if im using the integrated..... I'm brand new to this stuff.
You can try searching in the CSS Codes the width tag then modify according to your ads or banners size,
This is what I got from viewing your "page source" main-wrapper width: 410px sidebar-wrapper width: 220px so if you do not want your ad getting cut, you must use adsense ad format that has lower or the same width as your main or sidebar wrapper. If you want to learn more about the blogger template, css, html try blogger help: http://help.blogger.com/bin/topic.py?topic=12450 If you do not want to learn css and html, then change your template. Search another blogger template, search on google with keyword like blogger template or adsense blogger template.
Part of making the most of your AdSense account is understanding some of the important points that can either lead you to success or cause the total failure of your efforts. Obviously, you want more of the former and less of the latter. Here are points towards the AdSense secret. Topics to Avoid Many people don't realize that Google will not allow their AdSense advertisements to appear on certain sites. Those sites will deal with certain topics, such as gambling and prescription drugs. Guns, some types of weapons, and tobacco topics are also not allowed to host the ads. That means a good AdSense secret is to avoid these topics when you're preparing your web site. Although these topics might be popular for searches, you don't want these sites associated with the ones in which you are going to be hosting the ads. Check the Ads Another AdSense secret is that you need to check the ads that are listed on your pages. While the program normally makes good matches, sometimes there are problems. In most cases, those problems have nothing to do with Google and everything to do with something that needs to be changed on the page. For example, you may not have optimized the page for the proper keywords. The nice thing is that you can always contact Google if there's a problem and they can offer you some guidance in making the necessary changes. Block Some Ads Here's an AdSense secret you also may not have known: you have the ability to block some ads from appearing on your site even if they include the keywords your page is optimized for. Why would you want some ads not to appear? Well, there are a couple of reasons. First, there are going to be some ads that are nothing but scams. If you care about the quality of the ads you are presenting to your visitors (and you should be), then you don't want to include those unethical sites. Another one of those issues is that if you are selling products or services on your site as well as earning revenue through the ad, you don't want to be hosting sites which are from your competitors. Blocking them makes this AdSense secret quite valuable. Use AdSense Tracker In order to make the most of your AdSense account, you want to also make the most of another AdSense secret. The AdSense tracker is a great way for you to determine which of your pages are bringing in the most revenue and which ones are the most successful overall. This information will be very helpful as you continue your efforts and continue improving your ability to post ads. Do Keyword Research A final AdSense secret that you want to know is keyword research. This is a step in the process you don't want to take too lightly. Remember using the proper keywords will lead targeted traffic to your site.
