I want to have ansense ads to automatically appear on all my posts on my wordpress blog. What can I use? Also I would like one at the top of the site and on the sidebar.
check out this plugin http://www.maxblogpress.com/plugins/mba/ this is the best plugin to put ad in wordpress blog . ~jakki~
Maxblogpress plugins are ok but they're far too 'commercial', i.e. you HAVE to subscribe to their newsletter to 'register' the plugin, and you HAVE to purchase it for $45 just to take off the 'powered by maxblogpress' message. Its not very wordpressy in conclusion. I use adsense intergrator.
Plugins are often working a bit differently depending on the browser you are using.For instance, in Firefox I can see the adsense ads and in IE I can not.So, I put the code directly in the Wordpress code instead.It is easy to do, here is excellent help of how to do that: http://www.wordpressmax.com/wordpress-guide/add-adsense-wordpress
I use Adsense Manager (though it has a new name...Advertising Manager or something like that...they changed it with the last upgrade.) This has been good for putting Adsense on each post. You can also use it to put Adsense on the sidebar, but I found it was easier for me to do that my self since my theme was Adsense ready. You can look at the Forex Blog in my signature to see how the integration looks.
