    Hi guys,

    Im trying to insert adsense adds inside my blog posts on blogger.

    It said you have to remove the: <!-- & //--> part of the adsense code as shown below

    so my adsense code would look like:

    Is removing this bit of code from the adsense code against adsense tos?

    Thanks HydroJohn

    I don't see why would want to remove it to begin with.

    Because without removing them you cant put google adsense inside your blogger blog post it just shows up a little blank box!

    Is it ok with adsense tos?

    When it comes to Google, its generally a good idea to understand that if it doesn't work, its probably because they don't want it to work.

    I understand your desire to put links within content, surely there would be additional monetization benefits. However, if you're looking to make money, I would consider first setting up a .com and using wordpress, which will allow you to practically put Adsense everywhere without treading a thin line with Google.

    Just my .05, adjusted for inflation.

    It's not really worth messing with to be honest. I don't think you'll gain anything from it. And you surely could loose something... Google banning the account.

    I think the Adsense rules are pretty clear: "..not modifying the JavaScript or other programming provided to You by Google in any way, unless expressly authorized in writing by Google "

    Easiest way - ask AdSense support - keep answer ticket noumber in case.
    I found info on one of polish blogs - answer from support was: delete comments (<!-- //-->) and new lines.

    once the code is generated, modifying/editing even part of it is NOT allowed.

    google gives the code straight forward.
    i don't think you need to remove anything from it.
    just copy and paste the code.
    simple.

    Instead of inserting adsense ads inside your blog posts, you should insert the code into sidebar or setting on ads between posts.
