If you aren’t good with manually editing the code for your blog, you may have experienced some frustration with trying to place Google AdSense advertisements on your WordPress blog.

If this sounds like you, the Shylock AdSense plugin was created just for you! Once downloaded and activated, it gives you an option panel that allows you to easily set up to 10 different customized AdSense codes (can use different block sizes or different colors) for use on your site.

Once this is done, you can scroll down and view a nice menu that allows you to control where these ads will be placed on your individual posts (top right, top left, bottom, etc.). There is no coding involved, everything is controlled from this menu with drop-down boxes.

Shylock MenuWhile this stuff is all useful, what really separates this plugin from other plugins available is the ability to designate a number of days before your advertisements will appear. This allows you to avoid displaying ads within your posts on your homepage where your regular readers will see them, but will allow you to start displaying them on your archived posts so search engine traffic will see them.

At this point, this plugin is only at version 1.0 and is already incredible, but has unlimited potential for future versions of the plugin. The main thing I would like to see is some form of the AdSense-Deluxe plugin integrated, giving you the ability to manually add individual AdSense ads only in designated spots (such as really long posts) by placing some code in your post when you want to do this (such as <–Code 1–> or something similar).
