I’ve been working for several weeks now on my Adsense placement for my funny video site The Masked Dispatcher’s Video Collection.  I’m still not happy with the placement, but today I was able to get one step closer to having things look the way I want it.

Adsense Placement is All About the Code

Putting your Adsense in the sidebar is simple, drop the code into one of the widget boxes.  If you want to go beyond that, normally you either have to find an ad plugin or throw the Adsense code directly into the code of the main index or single page code.

I’ve worked with the Adsense Deluxe, but I’m telling you, whoever designed that plugin didn’t have the typical user in mind.  As it stands, until today I’ve been working with the Wordpress Main Index and Single Page code sheets to directly insert my Adsense ad codes; I’ve had mixed success.

It’s easy to add the code before everything, but to increase possible clicks, and therefore revenue from Adsense placement, is to have the ads mesh into the page and it’s content.  Putting the ad before everything, including the title of the post, doesn’t lend itself to that goal.

Feedburner’s Adsense Placement

A couple of months ago, Feedburner started giving the options to use their feedflare technology to insert Adsense codes directly into the content.  Since I was happy with the way the small amount of Adsense looked on Desty Online, I didn’t give it much thought.  Today I revisited the option for my video site, and gave it a shot with the single page top banner.

As you can see, it worked beautifully!

Limited Options for Adsense Placement

I thought that while I was in the neighborhood, I would try Feedburner’s other Adsense placement option, the 300×225 block.  For some reason, even with only having two ad blocks on the page, the 300×225 block would not appear.

For the time being, Feedburner only offers those two ad block sizes, 468×60 and 300×225, but supposedly they’re working on other sizes.  What I want to see is adding those ad blocks to the actual feed instead of just making changes to the site.

If you’re having trouble with your Adsense placement for your site, give feedburner a try and see what it can do for you.
