Greetings, Here's my problem, essentially: my blog's content essentially involves some VERY long pieces (2000-5000 words) and I want to monetize the content obviously, as it took a lot of work. I have Advertising Manager and up to now I've just manually inserted ads with its shortened code, and also used a tag method in the theme which lets me select a tag on the post page and automatically inserts an ad at the very beginning of the text. Now I've got a lot more authors and hence orders of magnitude higher of content so this is no longer feasible. What I'm looking to do is get some Adsense or CPM network ads (e.g. 300x250) spread out throughout the text so I'm efficiently monetizing. I've also considered maybe auto-paginated articles like Associated Content has (i.e. they're indexed the same by google but the user has to click thru pages instead of scrolling down a lot). Thanks for your help!
You know I've wanted the same thing, especially using guest bloggers, user submissions, things like that. I was told you have to reconfigure your post template page and insert it inside the loop. So whenever a new posts is created and published the ad code is already to go and ads immediately populate without you having to do anything but publish a post. The crappy part is that's all I know and haven't found anyone to do it for me yet. Which brings me to want to start a new thread. thanks
Thanks for the response. I understand that it can be done by editing the post template (single.php, right?) I just have no idea what kind of code needs to be written and was hoping there was a plugin. It shouldn't be TOO challenging, as where the ads would go would be a static function of word count: I would want one for each "screen page" of text (so maybe like every 500 words?) So it would be some code that's like "if text continues for 500 words, insert ad code after 500 words". As you can see, my knowledge of php is lacking. But yeah, as it stands, I have a lot of content coming in and would definitely pony up some dough to get my monetization completely set up without having to edit individual posts.
This is an old post but I am looking into this right now so i figured I'd post it since it is ranked in Google. Here is a site that may help someone http://www.themelab.com/2008/05/22/display-inline-ads-with-custom-fields-and-wordpress/ Code (markup): Here is a plugin http://aralbalkan.com/1016 Code (markup): Hope it helps. Some themes are easier to work with than others. I am using SemiLogic and although it is really great, unless you upgrade to pro there are some real handicaps.
