We are pleased to announce that we have committed a new version of the Drupal Adsense module to the contributed modules repository at Drupal.org.

The release has some new features, including:

  • Added five pre-defined blocks that are easily configurable by the site admin without the need to use any PHP code. This is a major usability improvement for many site owners.
  • Added a new "test mode" that ensures Adsense is working correctly specially when setting up revenue sharing.
  • The Adsense client ID is now stored in a profile field, both for site owner as well as other users.
  • Added a block tag, instead of flexiblock, since that module is not needed much in 4.7 with the new block regions feature.
  • Increased number of ad groups (type, color, ..e.tc.) from 3 to 5.
  • Increased the number of channels from 3 to 7.
  • Updated the online help and instructions, and made it collapsible/collapsed by default, so it is not in the way.
  • Separated the online help in its own file to save memory and overhead.
  • Added version information and date in the setting page, so users know what they are running.

We plan to start a community on Adsense and other modules we authored here at 2bits.com soon.

Hello,

This module is excellent. Your work is much appreciated. I have one question though before I implement it on my production web site:

In the AdSense code that this module generates, although the variable values are the same as in the code that could be generated at the adsense website, their order is different. Google could assume that the code has been edited manually, which I think is against the Adsense terms of use.

What is your opinion about this? Why the order of the variables is different than google's? I guess that you can understand the importance of this as it could result in Google banning somebody out of the program.

Thanks in advance,
Robert

I have been running it on several sites since I wrote the module and never had a late payment or any negative comment from Google.

Others have been running it too with no issues.

All Google cares about is that the appropriate variables are set when you get a click. The order is irrelevant.
