I am working on a site that has about 200 pages that will contain text Adense all in the same format. It seems if I don't create new code for each page (just copy and paste the same code over and over again) the text is turning into image (banner) ads by defualt even though I selected text only . I dont want this. Do I have to manually create code in my Adsense account with each new page I create? I am not worried about creating channels just yet. I just want to get text adsense up on all my pages in a easy fashion. Suggestions?
That probably is the best option. I am working with a designer/programmer to switch the site over to PHP (I dont have any experience with dynamic pages) and I will mention that to him to make it easier for me to manage my ads. Thanks.
You can use different methods, all on server side: - PHP include - PERL function - SSI include The best option for you depend on your hosting possibilities, and your coding experience. If you don't know PHP, maybe the best for you is with SSI (Server Side Includes) .
I don't understand, if you selected text ads only then it should be text ads.. just check once again...
if you selected text ads, it has to display only text ads, else it will show blank check the code that is generated and hope your webpage or editor is not throwing up extra code
OK I checked it out. When I actually publish the pages to the internet the show up in text. My HTML editor was just showing some of them as banners when I previewed the pages. Still good to find out some of my CMS options will allow me to mangage my ads much easier then I am doing it now. Any hints on how to transfer an existing static site over to PHP and still keeping the same look and feel (design)? Will that all have to be custom coded by my designer/programmer?
just to incert adsense code, i don;t see any reason to move everything over to PHP. SSI will do the job just fine. that way u don;t have to incert adsense code on every single page but can update all the pages very easily updating just one source file. depending on your host, you might need to rename the files to .shtml or need to edit the htaccess file. just check with your host
my host is siteground and I believe they are actually one of the best host for CMS sytems. I am doing a little research on on SSI vs. PHP right now (really not much knowledge of either). My programmer just believes that PHP will be the best becuase of other functions (and mangement options) we are adding to the site ( a blog and forum are also being added to the site). I am just wondering what is involved in tranferring an existing plain ol html site over to a CMS system. I want the site to look the same just have the added functionalality and I want to make sure I am not getting ripped off. I just dont like to be left out in the dark on the technical aspects of things and I want to have some inkling of what is going on. I am a marketer not a designer but it is still nice to know how things work.
