I did manage to put together a decent workaround for this. I put together some JavaScript to display our ad. It works by using a regular expression to check to see if the referrer has google.com/cse?cx= in it, and if it finds it, it inserts the <script> tag that displays the ad:


<script type="text/javascript">
if(!document.referrer.match(/.google.com/cse?cx=/)) {
script = document.createElement("script");
script.type = "text/javascript";
script.src = "http://url.to.ad/code.js";
document.body.appendChild(script);
}
</script>

You may wish to use a similar method within the plugin code so that such a workaround isn't necessary. Hope this is useful for anyone else running into similar issues with Google CSE.

That is what violates Google’s policy.

What this plugin does is simply to segment the ads based on traffic sources, it does not alter the content or try to hide anything from search bots.

Is this plug in against Adsense TOS? It does some sort cloaking that’s why i asked…
can you clarify that… thx..
