I’ve been asked a few times what Wordpress plugins I use on this site. Rather than just compile a simple list I thought I would go into a bit more detail.
Over the coming weeks I am going to discuss each of the plugins I use. I am going to kick things off by talking about the AdSense Deluxe plugin.
When I first started using AdSense on this site I edited my Wordpress template files to include the appropriate AdSense code. This works fine but it does have a couple of limitations:
- It assumes you’re familiar/comfortable editing Wordpress template files.
- There is no real flexibility on how the ads are presented on your site. You’re pretty much stuck with the same ad format on each page.
I soon realised I wanted something more sophisticated. My main requirements were:
- The ability to hide google ads on certain pages
- The ability to experiment with different google ad layouts on my most popular pages
- A plugin that would support multiple AdSense channels
This is where the AdSense Deluxe plugin comes to the rescue.
