How to wrap content around Google Adsense Ads in WordPress

I am always browsing around online and visiting other blogs on various topics, usually just to see what their sites look like and the kind of content that they offer. One thing I have noticed (that also bothers me) is that people do not put their adsense ads directly into their content.The ads usually sit on top of the content or there ends up being a break in the page with the ad floating around the middle. This is not the way you want to show your ads to your viewers and subscribers. What you want is to have the ads seamlessly integrated into your actual content.

With the ad placed on top,  site viewers, the majority of the time, just ignore the ad, scroll past it, and then view the content. If you place the ad so that the content wraps around it, there’s a much higher chance of people actually clicking on the ad. Google did a study with all there infinite data and came up with these hot spots, shown below. Please remember the brighter the color the better, orange is the highest click through rates.

To begin with, you are going to need to add this code to your CSS file.

#adsense-wrap {
	float: left;
	margin-right: 5px;

}

After you have added the code, go ahead and make the ad you would like to have your content wrapped around and save the code somewhere so you can have access to it.


Open up your single.php file and look for something similar to whats highlighted in this picture:







Now please take into consideration, it should look similar but may not look exactly as that does.


Now you need to place your adsense code. You should place it between where the code calls to get the permalink and where the entry actually is. Like So:

The final step is adding one line directly above, and also directly below your adsense code. Like So:



































Now if all goes well, once this is finished and saved, you will have your Google Adsense Ad’s inside of your websites content on all of your single post Word Press pages.
