The Best Adsense Plugin For Wordpress

I have been trying out several Adsense plugins for Wordpress and found that one way or another that all but one did not meet my requirements (fairly basic ones, I think), so I decided to write up a review of it as it may help someone else looking for a similar Adsense Wordpress plugin. My requirements were as follows:

• The display of no more than 3 Adsense ad units at once.
• Flexibility of placement, e.g. ability to call an Adsense ad unit from within php theme files as well as from within a post.
• Easy to use.
• The ability to include the original Google Adsense Code (as generated by Google Adsense Setup).
• The ability to include some additional HTML, e.g. div wrapper, without having to modify a Wordpress theme and leaves the adsense code untouched.

Well, I have just finished setting up the plugin and customising the ad layout on my blog using a plugin which does meet those requirements: Adsense Deluxe.

Don’t be put off by the fact that the post announcing Adsense Deluxe is from 2005 as it has been developed since then and is currently at version 0.8 (released on 27/06/2006).

The plugin can also be used for placing Yahoo Publisher Network ads, Adsense Referrals and other networks’ code on Wordpress blogs, too, as Adsense Deluxe itself is not generating the ad code so it is possible to provide any code you like and feel sure it will remain untouched. Admittedly, I have created my own plugin for handling, and randomising, the display of Google Referrals.

For those of you who want a simple and compliant Adsense plugin for Wordpress then check out Adsense Deluxe.
