    I've been messing around with the placement of adsense stuff on my favourite site: http://www.swollenpickles.com/

    I've been placing the blocks by inserting them in the index file and the single page file. The only thing is that I want to get them into the post like I've done here:
    http://one-dollar-challenge.blogspot.com/

    How do I do this in wordpress, I want the 336x280 block in the first and second posts on the main page, and to have one 336x280 in the post when you view a single post.

    Any help is appreciated.

    Cheers

    Not sure I understand what you mean, but is my site what you mean? my ads are smaller than that size, but you get the idea. I am using the adsense deluxe plugin - very easy :)

    That's the sort of thing I'm thinking of. Is it all automated or does it reply on entering code in your posts? I wanted to try and have it all automated so that I couldn't have more than the limit of ads on one page etc.

    You need to enter a short string of code in the post - it ads a button to do so in the post box. It is easy to use.

    Each of my posts has this code, and I can display as many posts per page as I want without it going over the limit. AdsenseInjection is another good one, if you want full automation, no frills.

    Hi Swollenpickle,

    Wordpress uses a loop for its blog, which in simple language means everything that will be displayed for the entrys must be within 2 tags. This ensures that everything inside the tags will be included with every post! Now to add adsense and then stay within the adsense 3 ads limit becomes kinda hard and may require a greater amount of coding with a 'if ...else...' variable!

    The simpler solution to this maybe using the mighty adsense plugin ...
    http://mightyhitter.com/main-page/plugins/mightyadsense/

    This allows you to set a particular code in the WP-Dashboard and you can set the number of the post it displays in! The maximum it allows is 3 ads per page so well u stay well below the limit!

    Hope it helps!

    Cheers!

    Thanks for your help guys. After playing around with both plugins I think I've got it sorted. Mighty Adsense does the job I'm after.
    Jackslounge - you may want to have a look at mighty adsense too. it seems to automate the process which makes it simple for clowns like me! :p
