Is AdSense insertion via innerHTML possible?
Posted on 2010-09-05
I'm not new to adsense. But I have lots of smaller Wordpress blogs that run the same desing theme and now I want to add AdSense to them too.
I want to insert AdSense code via innerHTML as the first content inside <div id="content">. The reason for this is that I dont want do be forced to edit 6-10 files (first page, page template, single post template etc). Instead I wanted to put the code above in footer.php
I thought this would work but it does not. (The excessive splitting is to avoid problems with script as string)
Inserting regular text works fine but not javascript.

document.getElementById('content').innerHtml=gads + oldHmtl
}

That should be placed in the footer.php, or header.php file. Put the code just before the closing html tag.
If that doesn't work, you can always use a plug-in.

100% sure since other js works. I was thinking that maybe it's something particular with how AdSense works.
I couldn't say for sure, I use Analytics and if you want to insert it manually without a plug-in that is how I insert it. I wonder if your footer is being called from somewhere besides footer.php.
Thanks for the tip jeremyjared74. But that means I need to upload and install plugins and in that case I might just as well edit the files. I have something like 200 wordpress installations so every step saved means a lot.
Ok, so this is more than a tracking code? That would make sense why it isn't showing up in the footer.php. You would have to put it before the closing body tag. I just noticed you full code. Like I said I use Analytics (just code). For it to show up it has to go before the closing body tag.
If for some reason that doesn't work I did find this site that might help. The difference is it is placing it in the sidebar.php, I don't think it would matter though.

I think we still misunderstand each other because your link is about traditional placement of adSense code.
Let say this is the code:
[code]
<html>
<body>
.... (some stuff)
<div id="content">
Some stuff already inside "content"
</div>
.... (some stuff)
<script type="text/javascript"><!-
window.onload = function()
{
var oldHmtl = document.getElementById('c
var gads = '<scr' + 'ipt type="text/jav' + 'ascri' + 'pt"><' + '!' + '--\ngoogle_ad_client = "pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXX";\n/* myCustomAdName */\ngoogle_ad_slot = "XXXXXXXX";\ngoogle_ad_wid
document.getElementById('c
}
//-->
</script>
</body>
</html>
[/code]
The javascript at the end of the HTML is supposed to put adsense in the beginning (of the inside) of <div id="content">
I understand that this is not the traditional way of adding adSense.
