Quick Adsense
Quick Adsense is an Ads management Wordpress plugin. It offers a quicker & flexible way to insert Adsense or any Ads code into a blog post. Besides, it can randomly place the Ads anywhere within a post. It comes with a simple setting page, and it does not overwhelm you with complicated customizable options.
In general, placing Adsense randomly within a post is a good way to experiment a variety of ads formats & placements besides optimizing your Adsense. If you have many regular visitors who frequently revisit your blog, the randomization will likely catch their attention.
Latest Version: 1.5.1
Here are some features that come with this plugin:
- Absolutely NO author revenue reward or revenue sharing from your Adsense or that kind of features.
- Default Ads positioning: Assign Ads at the beginning of post, assign Ads at the end of post, assign Ads after certain paragraphs & assign Ads after certain images.
- Flexible Ads placement, insert Ads specifically or randomly anywhere within a post.
- Simple configuration interface, requires no coding knowledge: Just copy and paste AdSense code, tick & select options, the plugin will then do the rest for you.
- Support any Ads code, not limited to Adsense code only.
- Display up to a maximum of 10 Ads on a page. Google allows publishers to place up to 3 Adsense for Content on a page. If you are using other Ads, you may display up to 10 Ads.
- Support up to a maximum of 3 Ads codes on Sidebar Widgets.
- Support up to a maximum of 10 Ads codes for Randomization within a post.
- Ads placement on the fly, simply insert
<!--Ads1-->,<!--Ads2-->… ,<!--RndAds-->,<!--NoAds-->,<!--OffAds-->to a post to accomplish this. - Tags above can be inserted into a post easily via the additional Quicktag Buttons added to the HTML Edit Post SubPanel.
Sign up for a Google Adsense Account to generate revenue from your blog, if you don’t have one.

If you have just installed the plugin, you may want to test it up. Here is an illustration that you can follow to have a feel of what Quick Adsense can do for you:
- Go to the Plugin setting page & click the Load Default Setting link located at the bottom of the page.
- Copy & paste the following Sample Ads1, Ads2, Ads3, Ads4 codes to the Ads textbox respectively, assuming these are your Adsense codes. Do remember to save your changes:
<span style="display:block;width:250px;height:250px; background:#eee;border:1px solid #333; text-align:center;font-size:10pt"> <b>Sample Ads1 (250x250)</b> </span>
<span style="display:block;width:234px;height:60px; background:#eee;border:1px solid #333; text-align:center;font-size:10pt"> <b>Sample Ads2 (234x60)</b> </span>
<span style="display:block;width:200px;height:200px; background:#eee;border:1px solid #333; text-align:center;font-size:10pt"> <b>Sample Ads3 (200x200)</b> </span>
<span style="display:block;width:120px;height:240px; background:#eee;border:1px solid #333; text-align:center;font-size:10pt"> <b>Sample Ads4 (120x240)</b> </span>
- In your post, insert three
<!--RndAds-->tags, anywhere within the post (somewhere in the middle is good), use the Quicktag button under the HTML Edit Post Subpanel as you wish. - Now, use the Preview Changes button & see how the SampleAds appear in your post. Remember not to update your post as your live visitors may see this.
Some Thought About This Plugin
Previously, I have written some php codes which allow me to insert Adsense to a post on the fly randomly [ posted to here & here ]. The drawback of this code is that you need to modify the theme template directly for the code to work. A comment from Gossips about this code has inspires me to convert the code into a plugin.
I decided to spend a few hours googling & trying to figure out how to create a Wordpress plugin. Surprisingly, I found out that writing a plugin is not as complicated as I thought.
Firstly, I have to decide what the plugin can do for me. I want to create a plugin which allows me to quickly insert Ads code to the post. It must be capable to be random. Using tags to triggle the Ads display is always a good choice. Also, to make it more complete, I want the Ads to be displayed on the Sidebar.
Next, I started to design the plugin Setting page. It took me a while to do this as I wanted it to be as simply as possible, at the same time incorporating all the relevant options. The simpler the Setting page you want it to be, the harder the coding would be.
I thought it was nearly finished but realized that it was just started as the developing of the plugin algorithm was head-cracking. See my entire requirement in the first place; the question is how to make the plugin functions nicely? Well, the php excellent array functions really helped me do most of the jobs. Randomization had been done with just a few lines of code.
I really enjoy creating this plugin. My experience is that once started, it is hard to get it stopped. Please feedback for any bug you might have found, or any suggestion you like to add. Hope this plugin which have benefited me would benefit you as well.

Nuking Easy Adsense plugin
Mar 6, 2010 (7:25 AM)
Hello,
Wow, that is a great response. Looking forward to use this plugin. I have been searching this in the beginning. This is awesome.
Hi
This is an awesome plugin! I’ve tried many adsense plugins and yours fit exactly what I want, because I can use many types of ads for different parts of the post automatically. The rest I’ve tried either wants me to manually put in the ads in the posts or templates or it automatically injects the ads with only one ad-type without much customization available.
Also, will there be adsense be showing in feeds in the future for this plugin?
Thanks for your comment. Hope this plugin will helps.
For the Adsense in feeds, as for as I know, we just need to activate it & google will insert the ads automatically. I’m not sure how the other Ads publishers work, probably I will add this functionality in future version.
Hi. I would like to contact you for a custom job on this code. can you contact me¿
Useful plugin. Simple. At present I’m using Quick Adsense to display Amazon links. Can easily be used for more than just adsense.
First started using your plugin with WP 2.8.4 – glitch I’m encountering is that ads are not appearing only on posts, but not on home, arc, cat, tag pages.
I have the same problem – I use the “iNove”-theme. Who can help me?
If you don’t want the Ads to be displayed on home, arc, cat, tag pages… simply uncheck the Appearance Option under the Quick Adsense Setting page.
Please do inform me, if you have uncheck that & the Ads still appear there.
First, thank for the answer. I want display the ads on homepage, but the ads are not displayed. Only on a single view of an article is displayed google adsense. I have unchecked only the sites option, all other ar checked.
I see. Ya, it was initially designed in such a way that only one ads (the one assigned to the Beginning of Post under the Position option) will be displayed at the home, arc, cat & tag pages. This is to prevent many ads being displayed in every post summary at that home page. I believe this is the practice for most of the blogger. However, I will try to improve this in future version, probably by putting an option for that. Thanks for your comment Dschenns.
I also have this problem where ads don’t appear on the main page or cat pages etc only on the actual post page
It would be great if they can appear on every page they are set to
Also can you add to this plug in so certrain ads can only be shown when in certain categories
ie if I have a cataegory called dog I want a dog related ad not a cat related ad etc
so ad1 can be attached to cat dog only & ads 2 to category cat but ad 3 can be shown in any categopry
the ideal thing would be to have a check box & ad1 can be shown in cat a,b, c, etc
Derek, thanks for your comment. I will take your suggestion into consideration & will work on it. Also, my ideal is to make the option page as simple as possible so that the beginner will find it easy to use.
Can anybody help I am getting an error when I try saving in (Quick Adsense Setting)
This error : Error! Options page not found.
Thank you so much in advance,
What version of WP are you using ? Is the problem occur only when you want to save the option setting ?
Thanks for the quick Reply,
WordPress MU 2.7.1
This is a fresh plugin never got a chance to use it.
I followed the directions that are listed above:
1- I hit the Load Default Setting at the bottom right.
2- Entered my Adsence code for Ads1, Ads2, Ads3, Ads4
3- I hit Save Changes (that when I get this error: Error! Options page not found.
Not sure what I am doing wrong?
Thnaks
Sam, I have identified the cause of error. It is something to do with the security approach that WP MU has implemented. It’s happening on WP MU but not WP, & I believe you are facing the same error with other plugins also : Check this forum topic.
I’m working & testing on a new version of Quick Adsense, try to make it compatible with WP MU. If everything ok, I will release it under version 1.3, pls stay with me … announcement will be made here.
I am getting a php_eol notification when I use the adsense code at the beginning or end of a post… any idea why?
Hi Bryan, php_eol is a php line break, shouldn’t have any problem. Can you tell me what version of WP are you using, also your hosting server? Probably, the notification is due to the support issue of your hosting server about this php command.
Man this plugin is such a life saver…Installing it right away :)
good plugin, but not of my use, no adsense account.
Thanksssss… This is what i’m looking for. GREAT PLUGIN!
ive installed this plugin.
google adsense is telling me my CNAME has not been detected. it has been more than 3 days since install and signing up for adsense.
help?
ok, so i figured out that i have to get the www cname added to my host, except the host wont allow it. says the www is already in use (it is).
it wont let me leave the name blank, because that would be only for a subdomain.
dreamhost is the host
anybody familiar?
Does Google approve your Adsense account already? If so, you should be able to place ads to your blog. Hosting shouldn’t be a problem, the www should be there. Can you tell more about the cname ?
google approved it
google says it hasnt found the cname
host says i cant add the cname that google wants me to add
Nice job. May I offer a suggestion? If you have just ONE tag called
<!--adsense-->you might get people with older adsense insertion plug-ins to update to yours, instead.An alternative solution for Wordpress authors with old
<!--adsense-->tags in their blog entries is to use a global text replace in their wordpress database as described at the link below:http://www.barrywise.com/2009/02/global-find-and-replace-in-wordpress-using-mysql/
Chuck Eglinton
Nice suggestion! So, for those who want to replace all their actual Adsense code blocks which have been posted previously, you will be able to replace them with Quick Adsense Tags (ie.
<!--Ads1-->, ...) globally with just a line of MySQL command. Just visit the link suggested by Chuck Eglinton, and you will know what to do. Thanks.Hi everyone,
Quick Adsense V1.3 has just been uploaded to wordpress.org, it may take hours to be available for download. The change log is as follow:
* Code modification: Option to place all possible Ads on Homepage, Categories, Archives and Tags page. Previously, only one Ads (the one assigned to the Beginning of Post) is displayed.
* Code update to take advantage of some WP functions for options page, also for forward compatibility in future version.
* Code update to make it compatible with WordpressMU, tested on WordpressMU 2.7.1
* Some minor page & wording modification.
Please do leave your valuable feedback, help to improve this plugin, thanks.
guess i miss it but i can’t find where i can add my adsense id can you contact me ..hope to hear from you soon as i want to use your plugin immediately
Adding your Adsense Id is not required. Just go to your Adsense setup page & create your AdSense for Content, setup the format there, get the whole code block, & paste it to the plugin textboxes (Ads1 to Ads10).
Hey there,
There is some problem.. Is it a conflict with one of the other plugins?
After the update, I cant seem to get ads on the post page. >.<
Also, its working fine on pages. Just the posts >.<
Check the options, make sure all have been checked according to what you want (Appearance : Post checkbox has been checked). If you are using tags, make sure the tags have been entered correctly. Is this happen only after the update? from which version to version?
Yup all are checked properly.
For tags I am using WP Simple tags, not normal tags.
Yes, only after the update, I think. From the previous version to 1.3
I have tested v1.3 on WP 2.7 & 2.8, the code look ok. Do you mind to deactivate some of your plugin or switch your WP theme to anther one temporary & see whether the problem still exist ? This however will affect your blog layout temporary. Just want to check whether it is conflict with other plugins or theme.
I guess it is the theme. Switching to the other one made the ads appear again.
I am using Hybrid Original 0.1 by Justin Tadlock.
Any quick fix?
Ya you’re right, I have tested the Hybrid Original 0.1 theme & it is conflicting.
Here is the quick fix to the plugin: Unchecked the option “Assign Ads1 to the Beginning of Post”, & insert
<!--Ad1-->to the beginning of your post. The problem is, you have to place<!--Ad1-->into every posts.Okay, any other solution? This makes it a lot more cumbersome. I mean, could you locate what problem there was.
I can edit the theme too, so whatever the problem is… just let me know. Don’t want to do something which I cannot change later in the posts.
The theme just goes too deep into wp’s code, it is very time consuming to trace. My test shows that the post content is blank when it is passed into the plugin for processing. That’s means the theme may has overtake the wp’s function that I have used in the plugin. I wish I can help, but will let you know if I found somethings.
hi, can you post a second ad on the fly, on the page that already has 1 automatic ad1 at the top? i tried to place ad2 on the fly to the bottom of a page, but it doesn’t seem to show up… any tips or ideas on this? thanks.
Make sure Ads2 is not assigned to End of Post (unckeck it), also the maximum number of Ads within a post is 3 (including WidgetAds), no more Ads will be shown if number exceeded. Make sure the on the fly tag is typed correctly :
<--Ads2-->Awesome blog! Google Adsense is an awesome source of income for webmasters, Thanks for the post.Eddiehttp://www.postlinksongoogle.com
HELP, FOR SOME REASON THE SETTINGS PAGE ISNT DISPLAYING CORRECTLY FOR CONFIGURATION. SHOWING HALF PAGE.
PLEASE HELP
Try to delete the whole Quick Adsense plugin folder on your server & reinstall with the fresh one.
Hey this is really a awesome plugin, let god gives you longer life,health and peace. Im going to implement it soon.
all of a sudden, the “save” button went away on the bottom of the Quick Adsense admin?? now I can’t make changes to the ads….
help!
You can try to reinstall the Quick Adsense, simply delete the whole Quick Adsense plugin folder on your server & reinstall with the fresh one. All your Ads code & setting should remain intact.
I love your plugin but for some reason, it only works in the IE and safari browsers, not in firefox.
I am using WP 2.8.4, my site is hawaii-tickets.com
Aloha,
Chris
User side browsers shouldn’t have any impact on the plugin, because the plug is installed in the server. Can you please define your problem?
Hi, just uploaded this plugin, ideal, with no problems would highly recommend it to anyone. Many thanks.
Thanks for your comment, Alan.
Finally found a plugin that does what I want! Thanks.
I was wondering: I’m only using one ad inside my posts – the Ads1. When I activate the plugin, it places Ads1, Ads2, etc on the html post page. Is there any way I can get rid of the Ads2, Ads3, etc buttons and just have the Ads1 button? It just takes up a lot of room.
Thanks
Currently (v1.3), the buttons cannot be removed from the HTML Edit Post SubPanel. It only can be removed through the modification of codes. I will take your suggestion into account for the next version (v1.4) release. I may want to add some options for this to the setting page, please stay with me. Thanks Lance.
Exactly what im loking fir thanks
Thanks. I have downloaded and install at my blog. It is lovely.
When any contributor ( article writers for our site) logged in and go to dashboard to write article and to post it, they see the plugin setup and can change the settings. We dont want them to do that. Is there any way to prevent this ?
Thanks.
Ya, I see this as one of the minor bug, the plugin should allow only administrator to view & change the setting. For your case, don’t worry, contributor can only view the settings & he can not save the changes, you can try. Anyway, I will rectify this & release in v1.4 to allow only administrator to view & change the setting. Thanks.
Hey, this is a really great plugin, but I’m having a small problem with it.
Currently I’m using the evening shade theme http://www.pixelthemestudio.ca/themes/7-evening-shade and when I add the sidebar widget to the sidebar somehow my footer bar and the bray bar just above it get pushed over to the right about 15 and 20 pixels. It doesn’t matter if I have add code in the widget or not..as soon as I add them it throws my theme off…not a lot but a little and I’m kindof a perfectionist so I just can’t handle it. If you could help me fix this somehow I would really appreciate it.
Thanks for the great plugin no matter what though!
Does this problem happen for other widget? it would be easier for me to know the problem if you can show me the html source code (IE user: view > source).
I ran across this plugin and let me say thanks! I’ve been searching for something like this for so long I feel like I just walked into a Hotel located in the middle of the desert on my hands and knees dying of thirst! Many many thanks!
Now after following a tip posted above I’ve managed to create the ad units in Google and paste the code into my Post, Pages, and widget. The one final thing I’m struggling with is figuring out how to paste the search code as a widget. I have code for two boxes so do I paste both streams of code into a Quick Adsense widget box or is there another step involved.
Any responses appreciated.
Thanks for your wonderful comment. As for the widget you can either paste both your search codes into a widget, or paste them separately into two separate widgets as you wish.
I’m just about ready to install this plug in. One question. You have been describing adsense ads in your description. Does it also have a place to insert search box code. I’ve already used a plug in to create the search boxes. Now I have to paste adsense search box and search results code somewhere. Google doesn’t tell you where to paste the code (that I could find) As you can tell, I’m a hill billy mountain boy from Montana…and greener than grass!
Thanks,
Steve
It is recommended to host the Search Result in a new page & the Search Box in the widget. You can use Quick Adsense to insert the Search Box on the widget, check out http://code.google.com/intl/en/apis/customsearch/docs/dev_guide.html on how to host the Search Result in a separate page.
Hi!
This plugin sounds so great..and seems to be working for most. But I can’t get anything to show up.
I tried the “test” with author ads on the site…reloaded the new version…tried again…but nothing shows up. The default calls for ads to show up on posts and pages…but zilch.
I don’t want them on pages..but for the test…I eliminated everything I had up..which also didn’t work..and tried with the author-posted material.
Please…can you help?.. Would LOVE to get this great feature working.
thank you so much!
The plugin may conflict with the theme you are using. Try change to other theme & check the result. You may also try to insert a tag
<!--Ads1-->in your post.Hello again! Thanx for your response.
I tried the default theme. Still nothing. Back to custom theme. Tinkered a bit..like adding an adsense code to a sidebar in your settings..and suddenly they showed up in the text..even tho’ not in a sidebar.
So ads 1 which is 468 x 15 works fine at the top…but anything wider than 120 moves my other sidebars for categories and links into the margins. Also..a 200 0r 240 width include the social bookmarks into the ad somehow. If I use randomads, of course, itt switches back and forth to lost sidebars and a 120 width ad that shows up.
The whole point of doing this was to get the random ads. And I can even post the ads where I need to if necessary, since the top ad is working automatically. But don’t understand why the wider ads are shooting the sidebar containers into the margins out of view. The width of the text column is far wider and should accommodate easily any ad of 24o or less width. Again …it IS accommodating the TOP ad at 468 width.
Any advice?
Thanks so much!
Have you set the Ads margin to 0px, right beside the Ads code ? Try also set the alignment to none & check. Do you mind show me the page’s source html with the problem? email to me will do: techmilieu@yahoo.com
Hello,
Just now i install this plugin, this is awesome. It will be more interest, if you implement the Position Assign inbetween the contents. (i.e)like Assign- beginning of the post, end of the post. Thank you.
Implement the Position Assign inbetween the contents. (i.e)like Assign- beginning of the post, end of the post.
Ya, it is a good idea to add another option for user to place Ads in “Assign – Middle of Post”. However, it is not easy to determine the correct “Middle” position as the post contents are dynamic. Sometime the Ads may just appear in the weird position, cut right in between the related paragraph. Nevertheless, you can use the tag (ie
<!--Ads1-->…) to flexibly place your Ads in anywhere within your post contents.I was looking for an easy plugin for adsense like yours is – great tool!
…well till I started to test different ad position. Now I have the problem that only on the sidepar adsense is working – by the main post I can put any adsens ad, nothing appears (I always checked not to have more than 3 ads in total at any time). How is this problem to fix?
Check the setting & make sure it is set accordingly. Try insert a
<!--Ads1-->tag in your post & check the result. Some themes may conflict with this plugin, try change to other theme & check the result.Un grand plugin pour insérer bien plus que du code Adsense. En fait vous pouvez insérer tous les codes d’affiliations de toutes vos plateformes… Et l’auteur ne demande pas à partager son travail avec VOS revenus. Bravo !
in english now :
a Great plugin to insert more than Adsense code. I was searching the way to insert easily and quickly others affiliation codes (as CJ or Tradedoubler) and this is a EXCELLENT solution.
Thanks Philippe.

Is there any way to add an option to place the ads below the first image in a post? I really love this plugin, as it has the best options I’ve seen out of all the adsense plugins, and this is the only thing holding me back from using it. I need a solution to automate the insertion right after the first image of a post.
Actually, a solution for the “middle” option discussed above might also help my situation too because in addition to wanting auto insertion after the first picture, it would also be helpful if there was an option to “insert ad after paragraph # x”
Hi Brian, thank for your wonderful comment. As to place the ads below the first image, why don’t you insert the tag ( ie
<!--Ads1-->, <!--Ads2-->… ). Ya, this is not an automated process, you have to insert into every posts. Troublesome for your old posts, but new posts should be easy to insert.As I mention earlier, to implement the middle position function is not that straightforward. Every post is dynamic, the plugin need to know where to insert the Ads. Simply divide the post by 2, definitely is not a good choice. Can someone please suggest any method to implement this function ?
Im not by any means a programmer, so I dont know if this would work, but is there a way for the plugin to identify where there is an “enter” indicating a new paragraph? This way the user can predetermine that at the 4th (or any number) “enter” in every post, an ad is inserted.
Same for photos? Can the plugin count the number of times .jpg, .png, .gif, or whatever file extension appears, and the user can determine that after the 3rd time one of those file extension appears, the ad unit is inserted immediately after. Not sure how it would handle if there is a caption though.
Ya! you’re right. I will try to make the plugin work that way, identify the position by paragraph or img. Nevertheless, I don’t want to make the options page become too complicated. Please stay with me … for v1.5. Thanks.
Nice!
What’s your adsense publisher number so that we can share the wealth?!
Hi Dave, thanks for you kindliness to share the wealth. I have added a Paypal button in v1.4. Thanks for that.
Great, Ill be looking forward to that new version, Ill be sure to test out the paypal link in that version as well. ;)
I know what you mean about keeping the options page simple too, that might be a challenge, but Im sure you can work it out.
Any idea when it might be available?
Hi Brian, sorry for the delay … I still haven’t started working on v1.5 … busy with my other website: http://www.flexijourney.com/blog . Please stay with me.
I want to use an ad made in photoshop but can;t figure how to get it into position or to show. Any help? Thank you.

Hi Steve, you just can’t insert any ads into a jpg file. Ads need to be placed into a webpage of blog post. Check this out : https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/topic.py?hl=en&topic=13488
First of all thanks for providing this awesome plugin. I have install this on my blog. My setup is like this
Adsense ads
ads1 468×60
ads2 468×14
ads3 300×250 text
ads4 300×250 image
Now i want to use 3rd and 4th ads to be randomly appear on a specific location not all the ads to be randomize
Is there any way to do this in current version ?
Hi Manpreet, if you have assigned your ads1 & ads2 to either “Beginning of Post” or “End of Post” then ads1 & ads1 will not be used for the randomization. Also, if you insert
<!--Ads1-->or<!--Ads2-->into your post, Ads1 or Ads2 will be inserted into that specific location & will not be used for the randomization. Otherwise, the plugin will use then “remaining (unused)” of Ads code for the randomization.Downloaded your plug-in…have one ad at bottom of current post and 2 ads in the sidebar. Only one ad in the sidebar is showing …it is a public service ad and never changes. I have been using Adsense on Blogger for a year…and never had this problem.
Where are my other ads and why is Adsense not picking up any content for ads?
Check the plugin Options, make sure it is set to display up to 3 Ads. You may also check the page’s html source code & see how many ads code in there. Possibly, there are errors in the Ads code, copy & paste the code directly from Google. No modification, the ads just wouldn’t work if two line of code has been wrongly combined into one.
As for the public service ad, you may need to clear your browser cookies & refresh the page to get the new ads.
I have checked your page’s html code, it appear that you have inserted a Ads code twice on your side bar. I believe that’s the reason why you only have 2 Ads being displayed. As for why Public Service Ads … please check whether your adsense account is still active.
I checked the plugin options and it is set to 3 ads. I copied and pasted directly from Google. I cleared cookies and refreshed page. I actually went back to Adsense and created new ads …the same as I had before…and I still only have 1 ad showing in my sidebar…none at the bottom of my post and it is the same public service ad that was showing before. My account is active with Google.
Your 160×600 Ads in the sidebar has been placed twice (check your html source code) … I believe that’s why you only have 1 ad showing in your sidebar. Ads codes must be identical, repeated codes may result the Ads not being display correctly.
Great Plugin! I have one question, I am trying to display ads in the sidebar, but I don’t want them to display if it is the homepage. Is this possible? I’ve figured out how to turn off the ads in the posts on my homepage but can’t figure out how to stop them from displaying in the sidebar on the homepage.
Stopping Ads from displaying in the sidebar on the homepage is not possible up to v1.4. I’m sorry for that. Will look into it in the future version. Thanks
Hi Philip,
Great plugin!
I have one question:
If I use global settings to include 3 ads in all my blog post I’m looking for an option to “overrule” these settings. Is this an option? If yes how to do that?
I like to place by default the ads to my old postings (100) and like to use the “custom” positions for new posts.
Yes it is possible, however you need to do a simple modification to the plugin code. Unless you use this plugin to insert code other than Adsense, otherwise Google allows publishers to place up to three AdSense for Content Units on a page. Since this is code modification I will communicate with you through email. For those who is interested can send a request email to me at techmilieu@yahoo.com
Philip,
I don’t try to add additional ads into my blogs. I try the following:
Default ads are before and after the content (like in your settings page)
if I write a new blog I like choose where the ads have to appear (between the text)
With the current version it’s not possible to remove the ads from the “default” locations and adding other ones.
I noticed also that I can use one ad tag only once, on each page
I see … so you are interested in added the default ads (before and after the content) only for selected page. We can’t do that in the current version, that’s a bit more complicated. Need to place a new tag in the post to specifically disable the “default”, & allows the ad tag to be placed. Ok, I take that into account for v1.5
As Google only allows an ad code to be placed once in a page, it is ok to limit the ad tag appears once on each page.
Dear Philip,
I’ve just installed your plugin and also copied my adsense code to the Ads on post body. FYI I have only 1 ad code. How come no ads are showing up on my blog? I really hope you can advise me here. I’m looking forward to using this plugin.
Bye.
Imran72
I just visited your blog. I believe you have already solved the problem, the Ad is there :)
thanks for the great plugin.
is it possible for an ad to appearance automatically into any post?
i want ad on every post but i can’t add the <!–Ads2–> into any post.
Try the option page, Assign Ads to the Beginning or to the End of post. Up to V1.4 you can only use this two options for automatic appearance of Ads. However, V1.5 is going to be release soon, enhanced with two additional options: place Ads after certain number of paragraph & image, don’t forget to upgrade when it is available.
the problem is that the ads don’t appear on the home page.
Go to the option page under “Appearance” section, check the “Homepage” & “Place all possible Ads on these pages.” checkbox. You Ads will then display in homepage. If this option is enabled, you may need to plan your ads positions properly to prevent many ads code being shown in every post summary in the homepage.
i check those options but no ads appears on home page (only on home page, on other pages everything is ok!).
maybe it’s a conflict with a theme.
if you want check this http://www.24gr.gr
thanks for the support anyway…
Ya, it could be due to your theme. Anyway, nice theme.
Hi there,
First I want to say I love this plug-in as I was struggling to position my ads. I have run across a possible issue or maybe incorrect usage on my part. If you go to my site http://www.thenortheastview.com and click on the travel blog tab you can view what I am speaking of. I have two Google ad, one in the side bar and one in the body. However when I try to place another ad besides my map.com the Google ad disappears. It seems I can only have a total of 3 ad of any combinations Google or other. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong.
Where Do You Want To Go ?
Hi Brad, yes the plugin can only allows a combination of 3 Google Ads or other. In other words it will display a maximum of 3 Ads codes in a page. The latest version v1.5 is going to be release soon, I will make it easy to customize to allow more Ads to be display, don’t forget to upgrade when it is available.
Hi everyone,
Quick Adsense V1.5 has just been uploaded to wordpress.org, it may take hours to be available for download. The change log is as follow:
1. Add two new functionality for default Ads positioning: Assign Ads after certain paragraphs & assign Ads after certain images.
2. You can now disable AdsWidget (Sidebar Ads) on Homepage.
3. Insert a <!–OffDef–> to temporary disable the default positioned Ads, so that you can insert the specific Ads or Random ad tags in the post.
4. Google allows publishers to place up to 3 Adsense for Content on a page. If you are using other Ads, you may now display up to 10 Ads.
5. Minor bug fixed & code modifications.
Thanks to everyone who made many valuable suggestions & feedback to improve this plugin.
I updated and lost all my old settings. Would have been nice to not lose them or at least a warning that you will :/
Automatic update should not affect any of the old setting, the plugin has been tested (in this blog). Appreciate if you could share with us which setting has been lost, update from what version to v1.5 & the steps of your update. Sorry for that, I believe at least your Ads codes are still intact.
I believe I was on the previous version. And it was the adcodes that I lost primarily. My AD1 was copied to AD2 and AD3 replacing the settings I had there. And the sidebar Ad was missing altogether. Luckily I had kept the codes in Adsense management page, named to which slot they should go in, so I only had to copy the codes from google again not recreate them.
I can’t be sure about my other settings, they seemed different, but I hadn’t looked at them in a while. I noticed the problem because my ads were not showing up.
BTW, I do love the plugin, thank you for making and supporting it!
Hello,
Great plugin…thank’s!
Just one thing…my google ad does not apear on the sidebar!?
Can you help me?
Caro Line
If you haven’t used adsense on this site before, try waiting a couple days. It takes google a while to index the page and decide what to put there.
Any tips for using Quick Adsese with Thesis theme. It installed and I am setting up an AdSense search that posts results on one of my own pages. It just seems to refresh the home page. Probably not a Quick Adsense issue, but I thought you might have a suggestion. It works fine when the results go to google or to google on another page.
Thanks for any advice.
Do you mean Google Custom Search Engine (cse)? If the result does not display correctly in your own page, I believe is due to your placement of cse code. Try check the documentation at http://www.google.com/cse/docs/
Thank you for this plugin. It is a fantastically simple tool to use. It really does have to be the easiest way to manage ads on my site.
i am fedup with adsense integrator, and now i am ready to try another one.. this plugin seems good than my old system. hope it will works.
Hello Phillip,
I really like the Quick Adsense plugin, thank you!
I am having a problem implementing it with the Carrington-Blog 2.2 Theme.
Works fine in posts and pages.
After bringing up posts in a category and selecting a post, the post begins to display and then a new page appears in the browser and only the ads appear.
The above happens with Google Chrome.
With Firefox the page never displays.
However with IE 7.0 all is fine.
Can you point me in the right direction to correct this problem???
Thanks for your time!
I have visited your blog, and the category page (without the images display) & link look okay. Perhaps you can try more posts & identify the problem more specifitly.
Thank You for a quick response!
I have changed my WordPress theme to Thematic and all is well.
Thank you for developing the plugin.
It is uncomplicated, straightforward, and efficient.
Very nice!
Regards
Great plugin.
I just installed it on one of my blogs and it is working perfectly.
Adsense plugin working great. Thanks so much. Added link on my website http://iplanemo.limewebs.com to yours.
great plug-in, thanks!
am using it to randomly inject ads in posts, and widgets on the sidebar, with no problems at all.
looking a gift horse in the mouth… :) i have customized my themes header.php to add a banner ad, is there a short code or other method to insert an Quick Adsense ad?
- thanks again, happy 2010!
I am using WP 2.9.1 on 7 different sites. When downloading I got a compatibility warning that this version of the plugin had not yet been tested on my version of WP.
Does this mean it won’t work, might not work or something else like hit or miss?
Thanks,
Don
@Don,
a lot of plugins are not updated for every WP release.
This one works fine with the latest stable WP version (2.9)
@Don @Olaf, thanks for both of you. I have tested the plugin (v1.5) with WP2.9 & everything work fine, no problem detected so far. Perhaps, I should release v1.5.1 to update the compatible notice.
Anyone who has the compatible issue please share with us here.
Thanks for the quick responses.
I was playing with the plugin into the early morning (EST) and found some issues I’d like to address.I tried to remain very basic and also ran the test offered.
When I place and Ad1, Ad2 (or RndAd) at the top of a post and bottom of the post on the home page only ads show up on pages/posts not the home page or in categories. In another words, only on a single post.
If I click the options for Homepage, categories, archives, tags the home page does not show my image ads on the two sidebars but does show the one ad in the header. These extra image ads were place manually with code long ago. It seems to apply the rule of only 3 ads on the home page.
The third thing I’m finding when placing the ad either a “Ad2″ or “RndAd” at the bottom of a post when I scroll down the text/content of the post starts to disappear. When I scroll slightly back up it reappears.
Also, if I click on all options such as Homepage, categories, archives, tags the image ads in the sidebars disappear.
I hesitate to provide the website (I have many) but this one is very well developed (over 3,000) posts but is geared towards politics and I’ve been flamed and hacked when in forums like Adobe or some others when using help features. I don’t need the abuse so I’m trying to explain myself completely here.
Thanks again,
Don
Hi Don,
Thanks for testing up my plugin. Please try the following :
1. In order for Ads to be displayed in home page or categories, please check the “Place all possible Ads on these pages.” checkbox.
2. Google allows publishers to place up to 3 Ads for Content on a page. This limitation is imposed by Google. Ads may not display correctly if more that 4 Ads code has been placed, I believe this is the reason why Ads disappear when you checked on some checkbox (extra Ads code has been placed into the page). Please make sure only up to a maximum of 3 Ads is being placed on a page at any one time.
3. As for the text/content disappear at the bottom of the page, I believe is due to the the blog theme CSS, such as float:left, etc. Set the Ads code alignment to “none” or check out the html source code & see what course the disappearance, you may need to modify the theme if needed.
Hope this will solve your problems.
Thanks for this very easy to use plugin. I’m using it on my site without any problem. This plugin rocks. I’m looking for one more ad widget with 4×125 ad slot. I hope you can integrate that feature in near future. Once again, thanks a lot.
Ok, I will put more ad slot for widget in future version.
Hi Philip,
I came across this today and have tested a widget image ad, which works fine – this is a very useful plugin, thanks.
The only “niggle” is that when I clicked on the advert, the advert opens up the new URL in the same window i.e. this would effectively take my website visitors away from MY site. Is there any way to ensure that when an advert is clicked on, that it opens in a new window or tab?
Thanks, and keep up the great work!
Tracey
Generally, it is the Google policy to not allow ads to open in a new window. See the info here: https://www.google.com/adsense/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=9737
Thanks Philip, I wasn’t aware of that particular rule; much appreciated. (What a pity though!)
There is a way to insert the ad right before the “n” image, no after …
Hi there ~
This is a great widget for on of my blogs, however, on my blog http://newyorkpeeps.com/ I can not update the adsense settings. The main problem is that I can only scroll down to “Ads on Sidebar Widget – AdsWidget 1″ and can not go any further to the “Save Settings” button. It sounds so simple but it’s driving me nutz & I’ve tried adjusting columns, etc. to no avail. Can you please guide me?!
Many thanx!
Lizzi Mack
What version of WP are you using? I never experience that before. Try view the source code & search the text “Save Changes” see whether the code is there or not.
Great plug-in! I intend to start using it on my website soon. One suggestion, it would be great to have the option to have certain ads appear in posts for chosen categories. Please let me know if this is something you can do in future versions.
As soon as we start bringing in some ad revenue we will make a donation. Thanks again!
I love the plugin, but… I can’t find a way to exclude certain pages from displaying ads. For instance, I would like to have ads on all posts and the homepage sidebar. But for contact, about, and privacy pages, I don’t want the ads to display. Is there a way to do this?
Hi Ron, simply insert the
<!--NoAds-->anywhere within your contact, about or privacy pages to disable the Ads display.Hi Philip. Thanks for the fast reply!
I did not explain myself well. I’m using the AdsWidget, so that the Adsense is displayed in the sidebar. I want it in the sidebar for all pages and posts, but not about, privacy and contact. I tried putting the NoAds code comment in the page itself, but the sidebar widget still displays the ad.
I see, currently you can use 3 type of tags to temporary disable Ads display: 1.
<!--NoAds-->– to temporary Disable Ads in a post, 2.<!--OffAds-->– to Disable All Ads including AdsWidget, and 3.<!--OffDef-->– to Disable The Default Positioned Ads, you can then insert specific Ads to your post.As for your case, try use
<!--OffAds-->to disable all Ads in a post including AdsWidget. No Ads will be display on that page.Sir, I want to install this but this is the reply “Failed to connect to FTP Server. what am I going to do with it?? No ads appear on my site even though I place ads using widgets.. please help me Sir.. thanks..
Do you mean “Failed to connect to FTP Server” during the installation process? if so, then check your connection password, etc.
See http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/quick-adsense/installation/ for the installation instruction.
By the way I am using wordpress 2.8.6 thanks
Great Plugin! I just needed to make a small change to it.
There wasn’t support for the search page but i just added the option AppSrch and i would like it to appear in the next release.
Chears
No ads within Posts are showing, though it’s otherwise terrific
Hi Joe, Can you elaborate more about the problem ur facing about this plugin. I will try to rectify it, pls help to improve this plugin.
Hi, it was actually something I messed up as follows:
I tried to filter out a category in the loop on a page like so:
which worked but in a broken fashion as it turned out for a lot of things including your adsense but at the time I thought it was only the adsense but I was wrong.
I changed the query as follows straight from codex example and walla! Happy!
While we are talking have I missed a tag for a “no adsense” so that a page can be free from adsense? I see that there’s a no home page one.
hmmm… the php examples were not showing so here they are in quotes.
Also, I DO SEE the no ad tags above in this page, thanks!
broken version-
“php-open- query_posts(cat=-4′); php-close”
“php-open- if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); php-close”
working version without the php tags -
“php-open- query_posts(/$query_string . ‘/&cat=-4′); php-close”
“php-open- if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); php-close”
There are a few tags to temporary disable Ads display, see my reply to Ron above. Thanks
Thanks, I did see those tags as stated so it’s really good. BTW, I wasn’t able to post actual code and wonder, since I wish to start a blog for technical issues, how do people modify their comment pages to allow for code to be displayed? Sort of like a [CODE][/CODE] kind of thing?
Anyhow, don’t bother responding since it has nothing to do with the plugin/widget but it came up when I wasn’t able to demonstrate what caused my problem in the code.
I like the plugin. I installed it on one site but then removed it. I will try again later.
I just wanted to say thank you for creating it.
Sounds like a useful program, but my first concern is whether it could be construed as a violation of adsense TOS. Anyone happen to know the ins and outs of adsense policy?
Hi Brad, thanks for your concern about the violation of TOC. Generally, modifying the ad code is against AdSense TOC, however this plugin does not modify the ad code in anyway. Instead it assist publisher to insert the ad code into the page on the fly each time the page is loaded.
As for the randomization, google is encouraging publisher to test out the ad format for performance optimization. check this out: http://adsense.blogspot.com/2006/08/abcs-of-ab-testing.html
Thanks for your reply :)
Wow… This is what I am looking for.. Many thanks…
I was so happy to find this plugin…easy to install and setup. I only have one issue I can’t figure out. I only want to have one ad display at the bottom of each post, so I have it set to do that. My posts are organized into categories, and if you click on a category, all the posts are displayed, but no ads are visible. The only way to see the ads is to click on a post’s title, to view that post on its own page. Then I can see the ads. Not everyone is going to view each post on its own page, and if they don’t, they’ll never see the ads. Is there a way to get the ads to show up when in category view? I’m just not seeing a setting that would do this for me. Thanks very much.
Hi Tina, If you like to display ads on categories page, you have to at least set the ads to be displayed at “Beginning of Post” & check the “Place all possible Ads on these pages” checkbox. Sorry to say that if you only set the ads display at “End of Post”, then the ads wouldn’t be displayed at the categories page. This is because the content before the
<!--more-->tag for each post is extracted to construct the categories page. So if you place ads after this tag, the ads wouldn’t be extracted for the categories. However, I will look into this functionality in future version. Thanks.Philip,
I dont post to many blogs, but felt compelled to say… Best adsense plugin yet! Easy to install, easy to set up. Nice clean code (I’m working on modifying it so it is preset to my liking when I upload it, as I have multiple blogs to put it on). Quick Adsense is certain to be a ‘prize-winner’.
Thanks for your wonderful comment. You’re welcome to modify my Adsense code, please share with me on any improvement that u may have discovered.
Hello Philip,
Please tell me where to send bugfixes or improvement ideas?
Thanks.
I can’t get what you mean, can you be more specific? If it is related to Quick Adsense, you are welcome to post it to the comment of this page.
>If it is related to Quick Adsense
Yes it is.
1. There are many themes that uses excerpts instead of content function to display posts on front pages. At this time it is impossible to show ads for excerpts.
I suppose it is required to add another filter to plugin code – something like
add_filter(’the_excerpt’, ‘process_content’);
I tried to do so in simple add-on – it was half-working for me – ads displayed correctly but ads-limit counter is malfunctioning..
2. Some feature/enhacement idea. It could be nice to separate ads counter for adsense and not-adsense banners. Since 3-ad limit is suitable for adsense code only. In general – we can use several ads providers with appropriate display limits for single page.
Please comment.
I plan to look into the ads display on front or categories pages in future version. Thanks for sharing your ideal, it is great. Hope you don’t mind to share with me again if you got your code ready. As for placing Adsense & none Adsense ads into a post, you may try insert the tags into the post, such as
<!--Ads1-->,<!--Ads2-->to control the Ads placement & display.Just installed Quick Adsense and loving it! Thank you!
Hi..
We use both adsense and adbrite…
Seem to be having an issue.
I place a 160×600 adsense ad on widget sidebar and an adbrite… the odd thing is that both show as adsense. Rather should show 1 adsense and 1 adbrite. Now we use 3 adsense ads on a page as well so the total adsense is no more than 3. However we also show adbrite. The point is that for some reason the plugin thinks we are placing more than 3 adsense and chooses to not display the adbrite.
Shouldn’t we be able to define 3 adsense for a page and as many adbrite’s as we wish and the plugin shouldn’t interpret the adbrites as adsense and limit the display?
Version 1.5 of the plugin allows up to 10 Ads to be displayed. Use the Dropdown list to select the total number of Ads to be displayed. Widget sidebar should work accordingly if both code are entered into difference AdsWidget textbox & both have been dragged into the “Sidebar” panel under “Appearance -> Widgets” menu.
If you are using more than one Ads provider (adsense & adbrite), you should specifically assign Ads to the specific position. That means to say Ads1 to Beginning of Post, Ads2 to End of Post, or insert the “Ads tag” into post, etc. Sorry to mention that using the randomization function will eventually mix up the Ads in this case, because the plugin (under current version) is not able to differentiate which Ads belong to which Ads provider .
Hi,
just love your plugin. It was easy to install and works great. Only the widget is giving me trouble, it absolutely refuses to show any advertisment. I have inserted so far only AdSense, and only (including the Widget) 3 Ads.
At the moment the Widget is supposed to be a 120×600 skyscraper.
Have tried everything, can’t get it to work. Thanks for any help you could offer!
I have just visited your site & your widget ads code (120×600 skyscraper) does show up properly in the page (go to html source & find your ads code). I believe the problem (no Ads display) is either your Ads is not configured properly or Google is unable to supply related ads to match your contents, in this case try post more contents & see.
I request you to check your quick adsense plugin settings,
Verify the following options
*Adsense :
Place upto 3 ads on a page (very important- Do not forget to check this settings)
*Apperance :
Disable AdsWidget on Homepage – unchecked
—-
If your settings are correct, due to less content Google cannot be able to provide 120×600 skyscraper ad at this moment, so try with more content. I’m using this awesome plug-in without any problem. :)
Awesome plugin! Thanks so much! It worked amazing until recently for some reason.
My google ads would show up in the 3 posts on the homepage but not anymore.
Any suggestions?
Thanks again!
Kerry
I just visited your blog, look like it is ok now, possibly is due to google itself.
niceee i love it
Hi
Great plugin, but it doesn’t play nice with XCache: upon “Quick Adsense” activation WP dies with a “Invalid File Page” error.
Is this problem known and/or is there a solution?
Thanks!
It is possible that Quick Adsense may crash with XCache, but I never test with it before. Is your other plugin okay with XCache ?
Not really, other plugins are acting the same way.
I had to disable xcache and use a file based caching method. Not good.
I’ve tried a few plugins about adsense, this may last, and ended well. And I also give “a little thank you with a link
