None, why do you need a AdSense Plugin? Isn't easier to place yourself the ad units ?

I can stick them in sidebars, but no idea how to in posts.

To place AdSense into posts you generally need to edit files such as single.php OR index.php

You can use CSS to contorl positioning such as to float left or right or to place in center.

I use Adsense Manager . No special reason except it was the most popular when i started so I just kept using it.

It allows easy integration with a small snippet of code anywhere. Like this:[ad#name] in posts or<?php adsensem_ad('name'); ?> in template. Sidebars show up automatically in widgets.

It also works when any other affiliate.

With Adsense Manager you do not need to edit the files for posts, you can just insert the small code.

I don't know much about the adsense plugins but there is 30 free adsense wordpress themes here myturbotraffic.com/wordpress hope it helps!

I'm a fan of the simple and easy to use Adsense Manager. Most of the time I don't even use it for Adsense but rather Comission Junction or other affiliate network ads. It's really simple, just paste in your code, then add it wherever you want it.

Yes it is a nice and useful plugin for sure. The name implies it is for using AdSense only. But you're right, you can use it for anything, even a text alert messages or images.

I'm having a battle getting Adsense Manager to work. I just tried it again and it isn't showing up. Where can you set the sizes?

Click on "Manage Ad Units" and then hit the "edit settings" button on an ad unit. Next you will see a drop down selector that includes the sizes - this is below header "Appearance" and "Ad Format"

I'm not seeing that :sundecided:

I see basic, appearance (which has nothing under it) and advanced (where you go to google to get stuff)

It could be that you have an older version. The most current one is 3.2.13. When I go to this page I see several different options.

I upgraded to the latest one just today for the site I am playing with now.

You can set my size anything you want since this is the Internet! :stongue:

I have always found it best to still use the Adsense site to get your code and then out it as a direct code. It will ensure that you have a correct code.

I copied a code from a working ad (on another site) to see if it worked. It doesn't show in the post where I wanted it. It is a text ad and no other text ads are on the site.

You did add the code to the post using the HTML editor? and if so did you double check to make sure tha name of the ad unit matches up?

There is a dropdown in html view which lets you select which ad unit to place.
