Adsense Beautifier

Adsense beautifier is a plugin available for WordPress to make your Adsense look beautiful in order to increase you Adsense earnings. Images adjacent to ads can help increase click through rate (CTR).

Images can be use to increase our click through rate. You can add image next to your adsense to increase your Click Through Rate.

Is it legal? Yes, but you have to add line to separate your image to adsense. Even google do this way to their new adsense format. You can see articles about these from:

• Jensense.Com

My plugin name is “Adsense Beautifier“, perhaps remind you for another plugin “Download Beautifier“. Yes, I have inspirated from that plugin for my plugin name, cause this plugin have a similar function, to make adsense look beautiful in order to increase your CTR. I hope so

• Default ad place is at top (above post) and bottom (under the post). You can see my blog as live demo. Because of space eating issue If you prefers to make your ad floating to your post, you should resize image and edit CSS yourself.

Good News

I have ask Google Team again to make sure this plugin is acceptable and doesn’t break Google TOS. They said:

Hello Supriyadi,
Thanks for your emails.
The ad placement on

http://www.supriyadisw.net/2006/07/adsense-beautifier

is acceptable by
our policies; as you’ve noted, we ask that publishers
place a visible border between the ads and the images, in order to
avoid
confusion and invalid clicks.

So if your site use background other than white (#FFFFFF), you have to change border color between image and ad in order to make it visible.

Integrate with Adsense Deluxe Plugin

This plugin can be integrate with Adsense Deluxe plugin. Here is my tip:
In Adsense Deluxe plugin option, place your new AdSense code (from adsenseBeautifier Options page) to AdSense code field in AdSenseDeluxe Options page.

To insert any of your defined ad units within template files, you can call a PHP plugin function with the name of the ad unit you want displayed. The syntax is as follows:

<?php adsense_deluxe_ads('AdBlock_name'); ?>

However, it?s strongly recommended that you always confirm that the function is available to keep from generating PHP errors or breaking your page display, using the following syntax:

<?php if (function_exists(adsense_deluxe_ads('AdBlock_name'))) {
adsense_deluxe_ads('AdBlock_name'); } ?>

Note: This syntax little bit different from recommended syntax from Adsense Deluxe Plugin.

Disclaimer

- If You are not really sure to use this plugin, please contact Google Team. Use with your own risk.
- I never guarantee that your CTR or AdSense earning will rise
