Shylock Adsense Wordpress Plugin
Ever wanted to be able to insert Adsense units in your posts without having to modify the page template? What about inserting Adsense units only in posts that are older than a certain number of days or weeks?
The logic behind this second point is the following: using Adsense only on older posts will both keep your loyal visitors happy (because they will not get disturbed while reading recent articles) and maximize your revenue potential since older posts are more likely to attract organic traffic (which is more likely to click on ads).
The Shylock Adsense plugin can help you with that. I tested it and it just works!
The interface is very user friendly. You can set up to 10 different Adsense codes and customize where and when they will be displayed. You could, for instance, designate a 336×280 large rectangle unit to appear at the bottom of all new posts, and once the posts turn 10 days old the unit will be displayed on the top right corner, instead.

Cool plugin. It might be very useful for me since I have got my domain and am moving to WordPress soon. You tried it? I bet you didn’t try it in this blog because you most probably won’t display AdSense in this blog
Anyway, thanks for the plugin.
Yeah I don’t run Adsense here. But I do have other sites, and I tested it there.
In fact now I am wondering what monetization strategy I will use for older posts.
This is a good idea. You can use the Shylock plugin in this blog too. I wonder why they named it Shylock. Is it related to Shakespeare’s play?
Daniel, great tip. That is one of those “just what we needed” plugins.
I’ve been using adsense-deluxe and while it doesn’t offer the “insert in older then..” option, it does its job very well.
Mike, I am a user of adsense deluxe as well, but the ability to add units only to posts older than a certain number of days is a killer feature in my opinion.
Something I might look into using on some other sites
Thanks for the heads up
Cheers,
Glen
hi daniel,
I installed the adsense.php into my hosting CP,,but when i get back to my Wordpress account plugin,there’s no file there!
Did I miss any steps?
You need to upload the -php file into a folder located in /wp-content/plugins/, you did that?
yea daniel, that’s what i did unless my wp plugin is full?
Why isn’t it there?weird
Not sure what might be causing it. Drop me an email with your IM and we will try to solve it.
Daniel, a quick question
Why don’t you use Adsense on this blog?
Any specific reason? Or getting sufficient to run the blog from the sidebar sponsors?
Fantastic plugin! I’ll have to rethink my Adsense approach now that I have this kind of flexibility available.
Thank you so much for this! I have looking for a plugin like this but wasn’t able to find one. I was dreading coding anything at all just to delay ads. Will try this out. Daily Blog Tips Rocks!
vijay, I might add Adsense in the near future go DBT and DWT as well. Just a matter of timing and overall strategy.
Cool Plugin. Thanks
Love this plugin! Thank you. This solved my dilemma of adding adssense before I’ve got a large readership - now I’ve testing some adsense on older posts.
thanks
I may have to consider this plug-in over adsense deluxe. It looks like this is what I might be looking for. Does it randomize between which 3 of the codes it chooses?
Edward, no, it doesn’t randomize. Maybe in the next version, though I think it could be a bit of a headache to use. It could annoy regular readers, while for visitors coming from search engines wouldn’t mean anything because they’re not used to your ad positioning yet.
Great find! I’ll be trying this one out sometime soon.
I have problem with the plugin. When I activate the plugin - the entire page didn’t show up.
Don’t know what’s wrong?
Mr. Alex Shylock on his blog says “Any comments you might have, please write them in the post announcing the plugin. Thanks!” but that page returns a 404. Great!
What I want to know is, will this plugin go along with Adsense Deluxe?
Will the ads get wrapped with post contents?
Great!!1.. i’ll test it ….
Thanks for the plugin Daniel..
Cheers!

Calvin, the plugin was tested on your version of WordPress, so I’m not sure what could be the problem. It might conflict with another plugin. Could you try deactivating other plugins and see when this one starts working? So we can fix this for the next version.
Transcriptionist, sorry about that. Had to reinstall WordPress yesterday and it broke that link. It’s fixed now. About working at the same time with Adsense Deluxe, I don’t really know. Never used that plugin. As long as the ads inserted by Adsense Deluxe aren’t in the same place with ads from Shylock Adsense, it should work if it has enough text to wrap text around the ad. Try on a test blog to be safe.
Great idea.. I will definitely be incorporating this on some my bigger sites.
I’m already using a plugin called ‘AdSense Deluxe’
I want to know what your proof behind ‘organic traffic is more likely to click ads’ is though, really, I need to know if this is true. I’m getting a lot of traffic from Google at the moment, and I may need to take advantage.
Eli, there are many researches confirming that organic traffic is much more likely to click on ads than repeat visitors.
The logic is simple, if they came through Google they were looking for something, and they were not sure they would find it on your blog (but they gave it a shot).
Should they fail to see what they were looking for they will just click away, possibly using one of your ads that has an interesting keyword.
Great plugin! i’m going to use this as soon as i will insert Adsense in my blog! Thanks
Thanks for that. I only have adsense on my main site for now and hardly any visitors (my old domain is more known and linked to than my new domain
) and was considering adding adds to my blog like this. I will look into it right away. Good that I have subscribed to the feed. Nice stuff 
For complete and easy ad management (time based, view count based, for search engine visitors, etc), give Who Sees Ads a try. You’ll love it
Thank you for idea !
I love this plugin, but I do have my problems.
It seams when you logged in, you dont see the adds anymore …
How is that possible?
Thank You Great plugin! I’m going to use this as soon as
Cool plugin! AdSense is great, but lately I’ve been making more with Chitika. In fact, over the last year I compiled some statistics of my earnings and I actually earned twice as much with Chitika compared to AdSense. For those of you curious about Chitika, check out this Chitika review for more info and some screenshots.
Thank You Great plugin! i use it
this is a great plugin to optimize my adsense. i already use it and i like it.
Wow .. It is great adsense plugin. Thanks for share.
