Have You Had Trouble with Adsense Plugins?

I don’t know about you but I have been having a terrible time trying to find an Adsense plugin to work on my blog. Or even to get Adsense to appear at all even if I put it in by hand.
I wondered if something had happened to my Adsense account but everything seemed fine. And trying to manually place it in the template didn’t work either, in fact it brought up some script errors and wouldn’t show posts on a single page.
What is the problem?
So then I started to draw my attention to the blog itself, were some of my other plugins conflicting with the Adsense one? The only problem with that question was working through all my plugins to find out which one it could be.
Then I heard that some themes can cause these kind of problems. I hoped it wasn’t that because I really like this theme, Sillouette which is by Brian Gardner. It’s the best theme I have ever used and it’s so nice to use. The formatting works really well and you can tell just by looking at the blog, it’s clean and tidy and is easy on the eye.
It handles images nicely and the text is always neatly wrapped around them. This also goes for my other blog which uses another Brian Gardner theme called Modern Paper. So there’s no way I was about to change the themes!
I was trying to add one of the most popular plugins Adsense Deluxe, and after seeking some help I found out it either works fine with the theme, or it just doesn’t work at all.
So I looked for another plugin, I came across the Shylock Adsense plugin which I had never heard of before. I tried it out and it worked straight away, thank goodness for that. And on top of all that it is really easy to use!
My initial thoughts on it
And what’s more it not only allows you to position and add adsense ads to your blog, it also lets you add other types of adverts all you need is the code. It also has an interesting feature where you can set a different adsense advert for older posts that will attract search engine traffic.
So far I like the simplicity of it, and the user friendly control panel. You don’t have to touch the theme files or templates at all. You can just choose the type of advert and the position you want it in, in the control panel and that’s it. No adding <–adsense–> stuff in your posts, it’s all done in the control panel under options.
I’ve only just started to use it so this is my first impression, which is good. I’ll let you know how it goes…
