If you’re interested in showing ads only to search engine visitors and still use the Shylock Adsense plugin to insert the ads, check out this hack from Stephen Cronin that lets you do that. It’s a great idea and it will also be an option in the next version of the Shylock Adsense plugin. Until then, you can read the instructions from the link above to make it work.
It should prove especially useful if you suffer from smart pricing or if you want to avoid it.

Hi Alexandru,
Thanks for the link. And THANKS for the Shylock Adsense plugin – it’s awesome! It just makes running ads on WordPress so much easier.
My pleasure Stephen.
This modification makes Shylock Adsense even better, limiting the showing of ads based on days was good, but sometimes you get huge spikes of Stumble traffic of old posts which probably negatively affects your CTR and possibly the smart pricing – this is a great change to make!
I’ve got it running on my blog now and will see how well it works out.
