It can be tricky to make money with adsense if you are new to it. The trick is to construct a well themed page so that the ads are relevant. The content match works like this:

Advertisers put similar themed phrases in an ad group. This themed ad group containing the ads, will then be triggered based on the phrases used on the target webpage. If the target webpage contains similar phrases the advertiser uses in his ad group, the relevant ad will be presented on your webpage.

Anyway, aside from that, it also is important to make your ads blend with your content. You also have to consider your audience. If your audience is web savvy, they will not click on advertisements as much as someone who may not be as web savvy. Great extension for those who are into making money with adsense. I run a few wordpress sites myself, and these plugins are a better alternative than to go directly into the code itself to add the javascript.

Not yet, I have been busy offline, which has made me behind writing online, so I have not started my Adsense account yet. I am probably going to go with Easy AdSenser or Adsense Anna, since I really want to start with a sidebar ad, just to get my feet wet.

No problem. Glad I could point something useful out to you. I missed the idea that having ads for a contributor only show on his posts would be one way to utilize the plugin. This can be an incentive for your writers to get better so they get more ad views.

Excellent! Thanks for intro. I'm gonna check out Adsense Integrator and see if it fits into my need. By the way, I'm not too familiar with the rule of placement either. I suppose having either one and not both doesn't violate its TOS. Thanks, Tom. You've been a great help. Top Culinary Arts Schools’s last blog post..Chicago Cooking Schools

If you mean place ads using code from multiple accounts on one page, your best bet is something like AdSense Integrator or Smart Ads.

AdSense Integrator will allow you to set up different ads from different people, then place them on whatever pages or posts you want. So you could just place ads for someone on the pages or posts they write. Or you can place ads from several people on one page, like your front page, in different places. Assuming Google allows that, I am not that familiar with their rules on placement.

Smart Ads or Shantanu’s Prefix Suffix plugin would allow you to place ads from 2 or 3 people on every page in the same place. Just paste their code in the input boxes and set the options so the ads appear on the pages you want. For more than 2 or 3, I think AdSense Integrator is your only option.

Did that help, or did I miss you point?

I'm still trying to find a plugin that would allow me to share adsense earnings with other contributors. Any heads up, Tom? Chicago Cooking Schools’s last blog post..Chicago Cooking Schools

Like I said, I do not expect to make any money at this. Maybe enough to offset some costs. The Amazon.com store is more about promoting books I like than profiting. Which is good, I would starve if I depended on that for income.

For the ads right on the blog, I have been waiting for a bit more traffic. Although I have a guest post that should be posted soon, so I will probably stick something up very soon. But I am still sort of stuck about which plugin to choose.
