I've found an extremely helpful site that taught me how to hardwire Adsense ads directly to my blog's template files without using plugins. This eliminates the scenario of Wordpress updating to another version and your plugin no longer works because of compatibility issues. Can't have those ads down while you're searching for another plugin. Half of them don't work anyway. I'm assuming this will work for YPN, Chitika, and whatever else you use, as long as the sizes are relatively close.

Although that's true, you're going to have to pick a theme that you enjoy unless you feel like editing several ;). I currently use this on my 5 blogs and I've had no problems. I have one sidebar skybox and ads below my first two posts, which makes three ads in all. That's evidently within Google's guidelines, so no trouble there.

You just need to have an HTML/PHP editor handy and your Adsense codes. Notepad usually works wonders.

Check it out and let me know what you think:

I just cut paste into the blog theme desing w/o the plugin...

That's exactly what this teaches you how to do. I think it's more of a guide as to where to place the code to get the desired results, more than anything else.
 
The pages to edit

archives.php
comments.php
index.php (header and sidebar)
single.php

Done...
