Google Adwords

Postby Starbuck on Wed Jan 30, 2008 5:19 pm

I just had Paul move my site to a different server and install an upgrade. I was very impressed at how fast he did the work and how careful he was at all the details. Great work!

Does anyone know how to install Google adwords without blowing out the template? I have the google account but every time I try and install it it seems to change my pages and doesn't allow them to work properly.

Thanks,

Starbuck

The key is not to place ads that are larger than the table they are in.

a good place for an ad is under the logo above the navigation bar on the main.html page

this page can be found in templates folder.. templates/main.html

if you are using a stock template you should place a google ad:

Just before you see this line in the code

<a href="index.php?page=index"><img src="images/en/menu_home.gif" width="96" height="25" border="0"></a>


I inserted this code before that line

Code: Select all
<div style="text-align: center;">
      <script type="text/javascript">
google_ad_client = "";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
//                             2006-09-29: underlogophpindex
google_ad_channel ="";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script> </div>
<br>      

for your custom template you would put that code in front of:

<td width="70"><a href="index.php?page=index" class="w">Home</a></td>

I tested it out looks good

this is a 728 * 90 text/image ad

If you have a premium template you may want to modify templates/main_index.html Also.

Another good spot is the QuickSearch

Another good spot for your ad is in the quicksearch and maintain your page design

go into template/quicksearch.html

at the very end of the code paste your google ad

Code: Select all
 
                            <br />
      <br /><br />   <div style="text-align: center;">
         <script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "";
google_ad_width = 250;
google_ad_height = 250;
google_ad_format = "250x250_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
//2006-09-26: quicksearchupper
google_ad_channel ="";
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></div>


This should be a 250 by 250 text/image ad...

you can use google default or match colors to your site on these ads

Hope this helped out... if you need more detail let me know

I am trying to figure out why the template is changed even though I am not changing a lot of text. Using Safari on my Mac, the browse section on my main page has dropped to the bottom of the page. My site: http://jewishsoulsearch.com/ is now showing a longer page with the browse section moved. Anyone know why?

TIA
Starbuck

I have had no luck using the page editor that is given in the webscribble webdate admin area... I always update the html with dreamweaver..

updating the html with the given editor can cause bugs...

if you give me the text you want on the home page I could put it in for you.. just put it back to the stock page first

let me know

I agree with Paul about the built in page editor in Webdate. Not sure what it does, but we had unexplainable problems until we started editing in with an offline html editor program. Even if you don't have Dreamweaver, you are better off with some other professional type editor than with the Webdate editor.
