Google Adsense inside link pages as "sponsored links"

[Jim_Westergren]

This mod will show Google Adsense under the "Featured Links" as "Sponsored Links". You can see what I mean on the site in my sig.

This mod was inspired from a thread of "seothatworks", Thank you!

In main.tpl just before "{* Links heading and sorting*}" add:

{if $category.ID != 0}
{include file="googlead.tpl"}
{/if}

Make a new file and call it googlead.tpl with these lines:

<h3>{l}Sponsored Links{/l}</h3>

<DIV STYLE="text-align:center;margin-bottom:-10px;">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "XXXXXXXXXXXX";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
google_ad_channel ="XXXXXXXXXXXXX";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "0000FF";
google_color_url = "008000";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</DIV>

Finished.

Hi renfrompenn, to make adsense appear in the search page as well, just use the following code:

{if $category.ID gt 0 or $qu} 
{include file="googlead.tpl"} 
{/if}

instead of

{if $category.ID != 0} 
{include file="googlead.tpl"} 
{/if}

I think it should be:
{if $category.ID gt 0 or $qu}

This is what is described in this post, this works for me.

I have searched 'sport' on your directory and I see your problem. There is a blank space where google adsense should be.

I think I know your problem. You have google adsense code to show in category and search results. You also have google adsense code in the top right of your directory. This is causing the conflict. Sometimes google struggles to fill all boxes and will leave a box empty if it can not.

I had the same problem of blank google boxes when I tried to add another adsense block. See this discussion:

{older link removed}

Try removing the google box at the top right of your directory and I think your problem will be solved.

Hi Jim,

Can you repost the example in your sig? I can't seem to find out to display Google Adsense along with Featured Links.

Thanks!!!

Hi, anybody is this where the code is suppose to go.. between these codes?

main.tpl

{foreach from=$feat_links item=link name=links} {include file="link.tpl" link=$link} {/foreach} {/if}

{if $category.ID gt 0 or $qu}
{include file="googlead.tpl"}
{/if}


{* Links heading and sorting*} {if ($qu or $category.ID gt 0 or $p) and count($links) gt 0}



Also, i created the googlead.tpl what type do i create it as? doc,html,shell,php

[mortgages]

Jim in your code you have a bottom margin set at -10px

if you use this it obscures the words "Ads by Goooooogle" which as you know is very very naughty. :roll: (it should read 0px)

unless it only happened on my site of course :?
