AdSense only in the first post of the page

AdSense ad in the body of the post, but only in the body of one post per page.

Blogger provides an easy way of adding AdSense to your blog. The best place to put ads is to put them very close to the content - at the end or at the beginning of your post. Unfortunately, you cannot just copy-paste the Google code right after the <$BlogItemBody$>. If you do so, ad will be shown in all your posts and Google permits only three ads per page.

The solution is to have a small javascript that will output the actual code only once per page. That is, only in the first post of the index page.And the ad will also be shown in the permalink pages.

Paste the following code into your template right after the </head> tag:
<script language="JavaScript">var i=0;</script>
Then put the following code to somewhere around the <$BlogItemBody$>. Browse this blog pages to see how it looks like.

<!-- AdSense only after the first post -->
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client="ca-pub-6248714847105944";
google_ad_width=234;
google_ad_height=60;
google_ad_format="234x60_as";
google_ad_type="text";
google_color_border="FFFFFF";
google_color_bg="FFFFFF";
google_color_link="CC6600";
google_color_url="CC6600";
google_color_text="999999";
//-->
</script>

<script language="JavaScript">
i++;
if(i == 1)
document.write('<div><scr' + 'ipt type="text/javascript" ' +
'src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"' +'> </scr' +'ipt></div>');
</script>
<!-- End AdSense only after the first post -->

Google pays for AdSense referrals

A new Google AdSense feature was announced today that allows website operators to place referral buttons on their sites for AdSense or Mozilla Firefox browser with the Google Toolbar. Every referral wins cash for webmasters.

Google has added the referral feature in response to publisher requests for such a service that also helps them generate earnings, enable visitors to monetize their own sites, or improve their web browsing experience.

"We've made it easier to spread the word about AdSense with referrals, our newest feature. Not only can you connect friends, acquaintances, and complete strangers with AdSense, but you can generate more earnings in the process," writes Mohammed at the AdSense blog.

Every AdSense referral earns site operators $100, while every Firefox with Google Toolbar download earns them "up to" $1.

Interested webmasters can add the feature through Google's AdSense page.

AdSense for Search versus AdSense for Content

Once you start to learn more about the Google AdSense program and start incorporating it onto the pages on your Web site, you'll find that there are a number of different variations on AdSense, and that while "AdSense for Content" is the most popular, there's also AdSense for Search and AdSense for Feeds, among others. But do they all pay out at the same rate for a given clickthru, even if displaying the same advertisement from the same merchant?

Turns out that I received a question on this exact topic and have explained why AdSense for Search is not, in fact, anywhere as profitable as AdSense for Content, at:

Get AdSense

The first rule of the nowadays web is simple: "Get AdSense".

Get it for all your sites. Just because you can do it. In the worst case, you'll have a clear indication that nobody actually reads your site. In the better cases you might be able to get enough money to pay for the hosting and hopefully have some more for candies.
