AdSense Now! gets you started with Google AdSense. No mess, no fuss.

== Description ==

*AdSense Now!* is the simplest possible way to generate revenue from your blog using Google AdSense. Aiming at simplicity, *AdSense Now!* does only one thing: it puts your AdSense code in up to three spots in your posts and pages (both existing ones and those yet to be written).

= Features =

1. Enforces the Google policy of not more than three ad blocks per page.
1. Simplest possible configuration interface -- nothing more than cutting and pasting AdSense code.

*AdSense Now!* has no hidden revenue sharing or link-backs implemented.

PS: You'll need a [Google AdSense Account](http://adsense.google.com/).

= New Feature [in 1.10] =

*AdSense Now!* gives you more options [through **custom fields**] to control ad blocks in individual posts/pages. Add custom fields with keys like **adsense-top, adsense-middle, adsense-bottom** and with values like **left, right, center** or **no** to have control how the ad blocks show up in each post or page. The value "=no=" suppresses all AdSense ad blocks in the post or page.

If you think *AdSense Now!* is too lean and mean for your taste, try the full-fledged, feature rich plugin [Easy AdSenser](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-adsenser/ "The complete solution for all things AdSense related").

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= Why another AdSense plugin? =

The other plugin I have published, [Easy AdSenser](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-adsenser/ "The complete solution for all things AdSense related"), does everything that *AdSense Now!* does and more. But in doing so, Easy AdSenser has become an All-in-One AdSense plugin, and not "Easy" any more. I wanted to go back to the basics and provide a simple plugin to get our fellow bloggers started on AdSense.

= I like its simplicity, but *AdSense Now!* doesn't have all the features I need. Can you add *this* and *that* feature? =

If you think *AdSense Now!* is too lean and mean for your taste, try the full-fledged, feature rich plugin [Easy AdSenser](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/easy-adsenser/ "The complete solution for all things AdSense related"). I plan to keep *AdSense Now!* simple.

= I just activated the plugin. How come I don't see any ads in my blog? =

If you just created the Google AdSense code, it may not be active yet. Google takes about ten minutes or so before serving ads. Please try again later.

= Can I control how the ad blocks are formatted in each page? =

Yes! Now, in V2.1+, you have more options [through custom fields] to control ad blocks in individual posts/pages. Add custom fields with keys like adsense-top, adsense-middle, adsense-bottom and with values like left, right, center or no to have control how the ad blocks show up in each post or page. The value "no" hides the block altogether.

= How do I report a bug or ask a question? =

Please report any problems, and share your thoughts and comments [at the plugin forum at WordPress](http://wordpress.org/tags/adsense-now "Post comments/suggestions/bugs on the WordPress.org forum. [Requires login/registration]") Or send an [email to the plugin author](http://manoj.thulasidas.com/mail.shtml "Email the author").
