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. 1. Option to suppress ads on all pages (as opposed to posts), or on the front/home page., category/tag/archive listings. 1. Control over the positioning and display of AdSense blocks in each post or page. 1. Internationalized with multiple language support. *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 1.37] = Adding a requested Feature: Option to suppress ad blocks in front category/tag/archive pages.

Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress. 3. Go to the Setup -> AdSense Now! and enter your AdSense code and options. == 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 my 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 V1.1+, 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, adsense-widget, adsense-search** 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. = 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"). == Change Log == = Past = * V1.36: Adding a requested Feature: Option to suppress ad blocks in front page/home page.
