Allow Google Adsence in WordPress

Your site is actually number two on Google. :) But found this site [link remoced – drmike] At the bottom click Source. Then at the bottom of that click Source Code (PHP). I opened it and one of the folders was CSS. I clicked that and it said Style. I clicked that and it shows all this code. I have a Blogger blog lying around and placed that in the template but it didn’t work. Did I do something wrong or is it that PHP thing you talked about. Does that only work for self hosted sites?

To get php working you need to know the path to the php interpreter on the host server…and adjust the code accordingly. Not to mention look at the permissions of the scripts, they need execute permissions. Many sites are run by a whole team of scripts all doing different things passing data around between themselves……all under the bonnet, away from the surfer. It’s entirely possible it’s trying to pass data to a location that does not exist.
WordPress is really just a collection of PHP scripts with a few image files and a css file thrown in. All the work turning it into what we see as a blogging tool is done by the interpreter on the wordpress.com site.

I am inspired by Dr. Mikes You Tube Download site. I have been trying to think of something unique I can put on my (being developed) weg graphics site. I want a random generator script that can take background tiles I create in Photoshop and blend them into a unique background tile for my customer. They can choose from several possible images and come up with a one of a kind background tile. Anyone know where I can find such code? Thanks.

WordPress are clearly interested in bringing in some income. Maybe wordpress could look at a way for people to use things like AdSense to reduce their out-of-pocket costs for upgrades. If your blog turns out to be such a great hit that you are sending the WP team on quarterly around-the-world cruises then you coud consider moving to your own site, but if the income is relatively small, you probably wouldn’t mind having a blog that pays for or pays towards its own upgrades.

Wordpress is already running adsense on the blogs they host here at wordpress.com and management are not likely to change their policy on this http://wordpress.com/blog/2006/09/06/on-ads/edited for brevity

Why? I also agree that you should pay for a steak dinner for everybody here at wp.com. Does that make it right?
I have a feeling that you may even be at the wrong forums as I don’t see a blog here for you under your username.

Great News! WordPress is cooperating with Google Adsense and is going to permit ads to its bloggers in wordpress.com.
That’s what Matt Mullenweg told in an interview to a greek newspaper [kathimerini] on Sunday. [Matt visited Greece 10 days ago to participate in the 1st Greek Blogger Camp at the island of Ios.]
You can read Matt’s interview here Η συνέντευξη του Matt Mullenweg στην Καθημερινή [unfortunately in Greek], BUT you can listen to him [in english] downloading the two parts interview from the Net-Box in the left sidebar here: http://tsimitakis.wordpress.com
Some impatience out there? I’ m translating from greek [sorry for any mistakes]:
Matt: “In addition, we ‘re working with Google Adsense and we’re going to permit to the users to host ads and earn money from their blogs. We’re trying to find a way that will permit especially to the users of WordPress.com to earn more money than the money they could earn in any other platform”.

Weren’t we just discussing how the volenteers here in teh forums are left in the dark about staff’s plans.
-
If it’s true, then it may be time for some of us “volunteers” to find hosting elsewhere. Why? Because there’s no freaking way on this earth that I’m going to volunteer to “help” the influx of penny grubbing sploggers and spammers that we will get here on the forum when they add wordpress.com blogs to their pimping for pennies blog stables.
-
I seriously doubt its true, i mean it was only the other day that Mark confirmd that there was no ads on wp.com.
That said, like TT if it was addedd, i think i’d move elsewhere. I despise ada and want nothing to do with them

The majority response to Matt on What’s your favorite feature was the that feature we liked the most at wordpress.com was that our blogs were advertising free. http://wordpress.com/blog/2006/09/02/favorite-feature/
However, wordpress does run adsense ads on our blogs here and has been doing so since last July. http://wordpress.com/blog/2006/09/06/on-ads/
The vocal minority who keep requesting adsense on the forum do not distinguish themselves by helping others on the forum. Moreover, if blogger initiated adsense is allowed at wordpress.com then Matt’s post above indicates it’s likely that it will be as a paid upgrade. And, IMO, if that is the case, then the minority who desire this defacement of their blogs in return for pennies are not likely to want to pay for the service. -
Tell you what. Let’s not make guesses. If we get adsense, we get adsense and we’ll make judgement calls then.
Let’s not worry about it until then.

I’m with TT; it is always the penny ante ones who are the most trouble; businesslike or dedicated amateurs are focused on the issues, not re-shaping the periods in their Adsense box and maximizing the 35 cents per week they get. I’m not sure at this point if I’ll mock or ice the typhoon of Adsense questions we will get on here, but it’s going to be one or the other for sure.
-
Hmmmm … mocking sounds good. I have spent a whole year being nice when what I actually excel in is the use of sarcasm so, maybe I’ll go off now and sharpen my ummmm … wit, while I prepare.
