This info is not really all that important, but I figured that everyone should at least know that for all the touting of free traffic exchanges that I make, that they know that using them with adsense is a no-no… unless they can set it up such that the ads are not displayed under certain circumstances.

Here’s the code I use:

First I define a variable early on in the page:
<?php $adsensecount = 0; ?>

Then I insert a little simple bit of code to tell whether or not the ad has been shown more than 3 times or has been sent from a traffic exchange:
<?php if ($_GET['te']!=”")
{
$adsensecount = 3;
} ?>
<?php if ($adsensecount <3) : ?>
<script type=”text/javascript”><!–
google_ad_client = “youradsenseaccnt#”;
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = “468x60_as”;
google_ad_type = “text_image”;
google_ad_channel = “”;
google_color_border = “adddff”;
google_color_bg = “000000″;
google_color_link = “adddff”;
google_color_text = “ffffff”;
google_color_url = “008000″;
//–>
</script>
<script type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js”>
</script>
<br />
<?php $adsensecount++; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

And that’s it. Keeps me from getting in trouble, keeps my ads showing otherwise.

Type to you later,
