**tacitinc** · 01-28-2012, 02:51 AM

Are you looking for another outlet for your adsense earnings? whynot optimize the traffic coming into your tumblr account?
example: tacit.sedition

you want to simply place the add to fiver where people have to click to follow you.
if you are lucky enough to have a high pr / high traffic tumblr page just collecting dust and watching free money flying out the door... then try this out!

1. Login to tumblr
2. Customize Html
3. Login to adsense
4. Generate ad of 160 x 600
5. Paste code below just below <head> tag in customize html section of tumblr
here is the code:

HTML Code:

<!-- ADSENSE -->
<div id="right-sidebar" style="position:fixed; top:0; right:0; z-index:30">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "ca-pub-xxxx";
/* Tacit Sedition Header */
google_ad_slot = "xxxxx";
google_ad_width = 160;
google_ad_height = 600;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagex.googlesyndication.c m/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</div>
<!-- END ADSENSE -->

Looks nice, but I am wondering, isn't using fixed position on an ad against the Adsense TOS ?

Let me double check but i thought it was allowed... i use it on all my general sites too... but ill confirm here in a few.

Got two conflicting views: One saying yes you can, but its 8 months old, it was an actual response from Google.
The newer one says No, that you cannot have the ad floating whilst the rest of the page moves, so simple fix to that I would gather is setting the css position to absolute? I tried that and it enables the ad to stay fixed while the page can then move freely without the add following it.
This should be in line with TOS , they just dont want unwanted attention drawn to the add by modifying the way its displayed, other than that, using adsense on your tumblr is still golden... what are your thoughts?
