How to Display AdSense Ads after the First Paragraph in Blogger
1. Log into your Blogger account, select your blog and click "Template" on the left side. Open the Template editor using the "Edit HTML" button. Once the editor has opened, click anywhere inside the code area and press the CTRL + F keys (or Command + F) on your keyboard to open the editor' search box. Search the following line:<data:post.body/>Note: You will find multiple occurrences of <data:post.body/>, stop at the second one or if you don't see any changes, test the last one.
2. Add the below DIVs in red before and after, like this:
<div id='adsense-target'><data:post.body/></div>3. Copy the AdSense code that you want to show and use this tool to convert it into plain text. Just above the line that we just found, add the following HTML and replace the "ADSENSE CODE HERE" text with the converted ad code:
<b:if cond='data:blog.pageType == "item"'>Screenshot:
<div id='adsense-content' style="display:block;text-align: center">ADSENSE CODE HERE</div></b:if>
Align AdSense Left or Right
By default, the Google AdSense ad unit will appear in the middle just after the first paragraph. If you are unhappy with the results and want to wrap text around the ad, you can choose one of the options below:a) Align AdSense to the left: change <div id='adsense-content' style="display:block;text-align: center"> with
<div id='adsense-content' style="display: inline-block;float: left;margin:15px 15px 15px 0px">After modifying it, the ad will display something like this:
b) Align AdSense ad to the right of the content: change <div id='adsense-content' style="display:block;text-align: center"> with
<div id='adsense-content' style="display:inline-block;float:right;margin:15px 0px 15px 15px">
<script type='text/javascript'>Note:
function insertAfter(addition,target) {
var parent = target.parentNode;
if (parent.lastChild == target) {
parent.appendChild(addition);
} else {
parent.insertBefore(addition,target.nextSibling);
}
}
var adscont = document.getElementById("adsense-content");
var target = document.getElementById("adsense-target");
var linebreak = target.getElementsByTagName("br");
if (linebreak.length > 0){
insertAfter(adscont,linebreak[0]);
}
</script>
- To insert the ad after the second paragraph, change "0" from the line in red with "2".
- If you want to put AdSense just below the heading h2 or heading h3 of a post, replace br from "br" with h2 or h3.
5. Click "Save template" to save the changes and you're done.
With this trick, you can insert AdSense after the first paragraph automatically in Blogger with ease. Now it's your turn to decide which format works best on your site.
