How To Add Adsense to WP w/o Plugins

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:

It's actually PHP and unless you're a PHP coder, it's very difficult to figure out.

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.

I like to add this to single.php right above


and imo is the best placement of adsense on wordpress.
