Hey guys. I’ve been promising the new version for a while now, and it’s finally done. I’ve updated the Shylock Adsense Plugin page with the new file and what’s new.

A few words about the changes:

1) Middle position - it counts the number of paragraphs in your posts, and puts the ads in the middle. So if you got 12 paragraphs, it will put the ads after the 6th one. It might not look exactly in the middle, because the first 6 might be short paragraphs, and the last 6 long ones, so it depends. But, it inserts ads inside the post, not just in top and bottom. You need at least 2 paragraphs in a post for the middle ads to show. If you have just 1 paragraph the ads don’t appear.

2) Middle left and middle right positions - inserts the ads in the middle, but that’s where the ad starts. Since it’s surrounded by text, it will probably look a bit closer to the end of the post.

Screenshots for middle position and for the middle right:

3) Random position - moves the ad in different positions each time the page is refreshed. It takes into account other fixed ads, so if you got a fixed ad in middle position, the random will insert only in the top or bottom positions.

If you’re using random together with fixed position ads in the same post, please make sure you insert in the options page the fixed position first, and the random position last. That’s because it checks if any other ads were inserted before him, so it can avoid placing in the same place.

The previous bug that made the ads not to display for some blogs should be fixed now, but just in case, this is a beta release. Please check if the ads are inserted and test it a bit. Any problems, please report them here.
