InstantPro - Google Adsense troubles...

Original Post:
A long while back the InstantPro editor was breaking Google Adsense JavaScript.

After pasting Google's code into the page using the editor - when revisiting the code or looking at the finished page source it isn't as the original.

I was hoping the latest InstantPro update might have resolved this (as I have some people that want to create InstantPro sites with ads) - but I've just been experimenting and it doesn't look like it has been fixed.

When pasting Adsense code, the original below...

<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-7696110131690512";
/* 250x250, created 23/03/08 */
google_ad_slot = "7344245451";
google_ad_width = 250;
google_ad_height = 250;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com /pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>



...gets changed to this:



<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
mce:0
// ]]></script>
<script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/ pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
mce:1
// ]]></script>




I see the InstantPro pages advertise it is Adsense 'compatible' but when I look deeper I see it only mentions 'sky scraper ads'?

I don't want to use Sky Scraper's just want ads where I decide in the text :¬)

Can you let me know what the latest is with this please?

My play InstantPro site does display ads from where I played around a long while back but I'm not sure the code isn't borked as all my Adsense earnings come from my non-InstantPro site!

NB. I know I'm not the only one having frustrations with this as I've actually had a couple of emails from other Freeola users asking how I managed to get them displayed on my site!

My plan was to post a nice informative guide to help people gets to grips with it - but that's got rather rail-roaded!

Thanks in advance, as always.

You can't paste adsense code into the WYSIWYG editor as the editor processing messes with the Javascript. Pasting Javascript inside a Javascript editor is never a good idea.
I did start developing something for future implementation that would allow people to insert Javascript code wherever they want on a page via an editor popup. This would then insert a placeholder on the page while editing so you can see where the script would be. This would then be processed out on saving the page and the Javascript code you supplied would replace it. The reverse would happen when editing a page with a Javascript snippet in it.

The process is much like inserting a media item onto a page at the moment. It's a little complicated to program though!
It might get put into a future update though.

Arh!!!

You guys might want to looks at replies like this then: Google Adsense!!!


Also seeing Google AdSence Compatible all over the place might not be strictly true!?

If I've missed something here please let me know.

I've now got to explain to one of my clients why their InstantPro site won't deliver what they thought it would :¬(

Google Adsense code works fine when inserted into an Adsense Skyscraper, which is part of the InstantPro builder. Therefore that makes the builder Adsense compatible. As far as I'm aware there it's not mentioned anywhere that you can paste Adsense code absolutely anywhere on an InstantPro site.

You lost me with the technicalities earlier why you can't use AdSense (JS with JS etc.) but you can within a 'Skyscraper'?

The people that have contacted me have been frustrated (like me) as they have tried to post their AdSense code using the editor - don't receive any errors or warnings but the ad doesn't work/display.


I've asked in the 'tutorial thread' for some examples of what's possible and what's not...

FAO Eccles.
Just a thought... (or two)

After poking about I see many other 'sitebuilders' allow you to insert JavaScript in general (which would be very useful) or have a Google Adsense module so users can have their ads within the actual site's pages.

Perhaps either of these options could be used with InstantPro?

Your 'skyscraper' management is nearly there - the bit that limits things is only being able to run ads on the left and/or right of a web page.  This doesn't help the design of a website and I don't believe the placement will help anyone's Adsense revenue as the ads are badly placed.

If more flexible JavaScript functionality can't be added - perhaps you could change the 'skyscraper manager' so that ads can also be placed horizontally below the top website banner  (similar to what I do on Hmmm...).

From my experience this is where ads can make some money.


Another useful option would be to be able to place a small 'skyscraper' below the left hand 'navigation block'.

You can't use this space (AFAIK) normally on InstantPro which I always think is a shame - at least displaying Adsense there wouldn't put it too far out of reach for visitors!


FWIW The ads I had running on my InstantPro that I had managed to get displayed within the page, I've now removed. I didn't realise that the original code had been changed, and I know Google don't allow/like this and can ban your account.

Hope this helps.
If it doesn't make sense please let me know...

Please see my earlier reply. A plugin for the editor is in development to allow Javascript to be inserted anywhere in page content.

I did read that - but didn't get the impression you were "developing a plugin" from your post!

Anyway that sounds like good news!

I can only apologise for my lack of communication skills...
