Hi there, salaam everybody.

Where do i put adsense targetting code so my Adsense advertisements appear only based on Articles while ignoring the rest ?



Adsense targetting codes :

1. Code to target advertisement to appear based on specific content
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

2. Code to ignore specific content
<!-- google_ad_section_start(weight=ignore) -->

<!-- google_ad_section_end -->

In where and which part must i add that codes ?

Try the edits below for your '/Themes/default/SPortalX.template.php' file, 'X' will be '2' if you use SMF 2 or '1-1' if you use SMF .1.x.

Find this code:

Code: [Select]

echo '
<div class="sp_regular_padding;">';
Replace with this code:

Code: [Select]

echo '
<div class="sp_regular_padding;">
<!-- google_ad_section_start -->';
Find this code:

Code: [Select]

echo '
<div class="sp_page_index">', $txt['sp-articlesPages'], ': ', $context['page_index'], '</div>
</div>';
Replace with this code:

Code: [Select]

echo '
<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
<div class="sp_page_index">', $txt['sp-articlesPages'], ': ', $context['page_index'], '</div>
</div>';

Hi, im sorry for another late reply..

Apparently it still doesnt work, because i wrote articles in english while adsense ads still doesnt appear.
Ive tested to change the page into plain html (in english / same content as the articles), and there were advertisement showing up.

Sorry for the late reply. :S

I'm not entirely sure how the Google Adsense ads work, but its possible they only want text between those comments.

Remove the old edits and try the one below (for the same file):
Find this code:

Code: [Select]

', $article['message']['body'], '
Replace with this code:

Code: [Select]

', '<!-- google_ad_section_start -->', $article['message']['body'], '<!-- google_ad_section_end -->
