If you’re out to monetize your WordPress blog, one of the best plug-ins you will ever encounter is Adsense Deluxe. In a nutshell, this plug-in streamlines the whole Google Adsense procedure. Instead of going into each individual post and having to paste in that messy Adsense code that you pull from Google, you can simply type in the call tag <–adsense–>. What’s more, you can put in all sorts of different Adsense codes, calling them up individually based on the name you give it. For example, you might call up the 468×60 banner by typing <–adsense#468–>.

But why stop there?

Something that I have done with my own blog is to include the “wrap” coding in Adsense Deluxe. Most Adsense gurus will tell you that the in-line 300 box is the generally the most lucrative ad placement, but it can be a bit of a pain to go through the process of right (or left) aligning the ad box in each post. So, when you’re setting up Adsense Deluxe, you can make it so that the <–adsense–> tag not only brings up the ad code served up by Google, but also the “wrap” coding: e.g., <div style=”float: right; margin: 3px;”>

And don’t forget to include </div> to close the tag!
