WhyDoWork.com Adsense is a WordPress plugin that allows you to insert Adsense ads on your blog without modifying the template. More then that, you can set it up to show different Adsense ads for articles older then X days (x is the number of days you decide).
For example, you can insert a 468×60 ad at the bottom of a new article, and once that article turns 7 days old it will have a more aggressive 336×280 ad blended with the text from the beginning of that article.
This way your regular readers will not be bothered by your ads, while visitors coming to older posts from search engines or other sources, will see a version that is monetized better.
Another feature is the ability to exclude ads wherever you like based on post id, or by using our no-adsense tag.

Also Recommended (for Firefox Users):
We have developed a Firefox add-on that lets you see your AdSense Earnings in the status bar. It is a great companion to this plugin.

Full tutorial on using the plugin
Installing
Unzip the archive and copy the whydowork_adsense.php file in your wp-content/plugins/ folder. Go to your admin area and activate the plugin and you can find the admin zone for it in the Options area of your blog.
Upgrading
Deactivate the WhyDoWork Adsense plugin, delete it, and upload the last version. Activate back and go check the options page for the new ad positions.
Attention: the preview tool in the options area uses the ad you inserted with your real code. DO NOT click on those ads.
Last words
Since you’re already here, how about checking out a few of the articles on this blog and maybe subscribe to the RSS feed. More plugins to come in time. I hope it will prove useful and help you make money blogging.
PS: if you like the plugin, I’d appreciate a link back and maybe telling your readers about it, if you think they might be interested.
Changes from 1.1:
- Top Middle position added. It display the ads above the text, centered in the middle. Top displays the ads to the left.
- it doesn’t matter anymore if the random position is selected first or second. It can be in any position now.
- you can choose for the ads not to be displayed if you’re logged in as administrator
into a post, it will not display any ads on that page (alternative to posting the ID’s in the admin panel).- sidebar widgets added
- it should be XHTML 1.0 compliant (thanks to Michael Lankton)
Version 1.1 beta released on September 7th 2007.
Changes from 1.0:
- added middle position, which inserts ads between paragraphs, in the middle of the article
- added middle left and right positions, which inserts ads in the middle of the article, surrounded by text
- added random position, which changes the place of the ad, different position for each refresh of the page. If you have a fixed position at top left for example, it will not insert in top left or top right any ads when in random. If you use random and another fixed position, please place the random ad the last in the options for that page.
- hopefully got rid of the bug from 1.0 that didn’t display the posts for some blogs. Test to be sure.

I installed this plugin but I don’t see the options section in WP that allows me to input the Adsense code. I uploaded the folder to my content/plugins section via FTP. What am I doing wrong?
I installed this plugin but I do not think the ad placement is very good. Little more can be developed.
i always use wordpress widget plugin to insert my google adsense code to my blog
very useful, thank you
Agree with you friend.

OK, so maybe this is a silly question…but would this work for adding ads such as an Omakase ad from Amazon or a Premium ad from Chitika, or maybe even a rotaating ad link from Linkshare?
Thanks for your hard work and time on this plugin
Soory for wasting your time…just read the FULL tutorial and answerd my own question
That is really cool.
are u sure?
I figured it out and answered my own question. Thank you for this very useful plugin. I will spread the word.
very nice and useful plugin, thank you WhyDoWork admin.

I can’t get a grip. I uploaded the plug in and I found where to activate it but I can’t see the “Option” area where I can work with it. What do I do with it? or How do I get to it in WP to add my code? It’s totally unclear. Thanks.
How do I stop the plugin from inserting adsense code into the RSS feed?
i think it isnt about the plugin.
Good stuff. I will surely try it at my website’s blog
Oh my gosh! This is the most wonderful WP plugin I’ve found in ages. Over the past 2 years I’ve tried paying a few designers to hack my themes to get a simple 300×250 ad inserted at the top of my post with the text wrapped around it. They all failed miserably!
Fast forward to a month ago when I got fed-up with the last failed attempt and did some major Googling for plugins… there just had to be something that would work.
Hallelujah that I stumbled across this amazing plugin. In a few easy steps this plugin did what the designers couldn’t do… and it was free!!
So, why did it take me a month to post this? Well, I came back to this site looking for a “donate” or “buy” link so I could contribute to the creator.
I guess this THANK YOU comment will have to do for now.
glad you found a use for it! A mention in a blog post would be the best payment ever

thank u so much

Thanks for the recommendation. Though, I use some other application to insert Adsense, but, it is worth giving a try.
Hello,
IS there any way to have a random ad display option instead of just random position?
Please reply. Thanks!
Why don’t you try using multiple color pallates?
COOLLL PLUG IN…
I wonder what will come in your next release.
So glad I found this plugin, been hacking themes for ages and here you’ve been.
Definitely one to add to my MUST HAVE PLUGINS list.
Thanks

good plugin beautiful. i like it
Great Firefox add-on. The Euro symbol doesn’t show properly though, I see € instead… (€)+;
A fix would be great, thanks!
Gil.
very useful, very nice thanks
Great plug-in. Thanks very much. I’m having a problem with the WhyDoWorkAdsense Sidebar Widget. Is that yours also? It won’t accept any changes to the adsense code in the widget. (The plug-in works great inside the body text and I can manipulate the ad colors, etc., but the sidebar widget doesn’t seem to respond).
If the Sidebar Widget version is somebody else’s product, please forgive the intrusion and accept my thanks for the great plug-in.

Thanks to this plug and publications other than those who do not say anything
I love this plugin and have been using it for quite sometime on my regular wordpress blogs. Is it possible or can you recommend how to implement the whydowork adsense plugin on wordpress mu so ads will automatically show on new registered blogs and not allow the new users to remove the code?
I really like the idea of the Firefox add-on.
When it comes to Adsense and the ongoing debate of “Wordpress vs. Blogger – which is better”, I think in this case Wordpress is better. The plugin allows for much more flexability in ad placement and size.
Is there a way to exclude posts in specific categories with this plugin?
I’m not getting this to work. I’ve tried about 15 different themes and the adsense comes out blue where the ads are supposed to be. Help
This is a great plug-in and now I am using it from few months. I have seen few other plugins who show their own ads like 20% of times or a similar percentage and they mention this in their terms of use.
Not sure if you people do this or not?
The plugin itself is great and no other match can be found.
No we don’t take any of your impressions. It’s free for you
