Adding Advertising Code

bs11 · #1 (**permalink**) 08-19-2008, 01:42 AM

Hi,

I am new to Thesis and would like to implement Adsense and affiliate code to areas of my new site. I want to add 120x600 and 160x600 banners in columns one and two and maybe a 728 leaderboard across the top of the site and a 468x60 next to the logo exactly like Politics — The Hatchet

Please help!

Sidebar ads are easy: Just add them using text widgets in the widgets panel of your dashboard (under Design).

For the header images, check out my Kingdom Geek site; view the source & my custom.css file (linked in signature) to see how I added a banner to my header. If you need further help, just ask.

How about adding a 728 leaderboard above the header (above page tabs and subscribe)?

That would be just after these lines in header.php:

HTML Code:

<div id="container">
<div id="page">

Thanks so much. I'm almost finished!

HI -

I've installed a couple of ad serving widgets - they don't seem to be working?

Perhaps these are not compatable with Thesis?

Here they are:

OpenX for WordPress:

Max Banner Ads

udc block ads

The OpenX instructions say that it provides a widget for use in the sidebar; if it is not appearing within the widgets panel to use in your sidebars, that is symptomatic of a problem with it or WordPress, not Thesis, which doesn't affect widgets in any way other than displaying them.

The same is true for Max Banner Ads and I assume for UDC Block Ads as well, though I couldn't find any information for it.

So now I'm really confused. I had a leaderboard placed after these lines in header.php.

<div id="container">
<div id="page">

Now I go into header.php and I don't see any of that code anymore.

I can only see these lines of code and I need to replace the ad in my header. Any thoughts?

<?php wp_head(); ?>

<?php thesis_hook_before_container(); ?>

<?php thesis_header(); ?>

I also switched header.php to the old code that included the ads and it didn't place the ads in my leaderboard. Any help is appreciated.
