1) More positions for longer articles (eg after 1st paragraph, after 2nd-last paragraph

2) The option to randomise any postion, instead randomising the placements

3) The option to choose the positions to randomise (because I’d like to be able to randomly insert text, say, quotes, without them appearing at the top of the article)

4) the ability to style the inserts with CSS

5) the ability to use more than three positions (for when I’m not using Adsense)

6) the ability to upload and specify a text file with any number of alternatives to randomise for an ad position or ad placements.

7) the ability to run php from the inserted text

With all of the above, it would be a fantastic machine for all kinds of random inserts, to make somewhat similar pages more unique

I recently started using your Shylock Adsense Plugin. Nice work!

As for new features, I look forward to being able to show some ads only to search engine visitors, but I would also like to be able to serve up different ads (CPM based) to non search engine visitors.

It would also be nice if the homepage zone was different that the Front Page(categories, archive) section under general options.

Finally, it would also be great if we could put php into the ad code area. I’m thinking of using OpenAds php codes for some ad areas to help speed things up.

I look forward to the new version.

Thanks. That’s a good idea. I’ll see if it can be added.

Just one more question: Does the code embedded in posts using Shylock show up in RSS feeds as well? If not you might want to consider this as an additional feature.

Lincoln, with Shylock Adsense you can only display ads once, twice or three times on a page. It doesn’t show up in every post.

I’ve been looking for a replacement of the excellent but antiquated Adsense Deluxe plugin, and Shylock looks really good.
In addition to the tag, I’d like to see a new tag that allows you to embed it anywhere you want in a post rather than the default position.

Also, I’m not sure if this is going to be possible with this kind of plugin, but I’d like to see the ability to only display one inline ad on the home/index page. Say you have a 300×250 block you use inside posts. As it stands this block would show up in every single post on the index page, which would be overkill. :-X

Thanks for listening!

yes : keep it easy :). For exemple adding a click counter could be a little bit too heaaavy :-/.

Hello,

I already posted that : a “middle middle” option to show the middle adsense ;-).

you welcome. The plugin is already really functional, so it took a bit of thinking to come up with that idea.

also an ad click counter for normal html ads would be cool too.
