Comment on Google AdSense doesn’t honor their policy on inappropriate content by Dee Wilson

Couldn’t agree more. I had to recently remove a 3rd party guestbook from a primary school website as the ads were totally inappropriate for small children to see.

For MediaWiki 1.8 I found this does a nice job : http://wiki.edsimpson.co.uk/index.php/Adding_AdSense_to_MediaWiki

It also can lock out one user so they don’t accidently click on the ads (i.e. the AdSense owner) leading to banning… And it’s AdSense Ts&Cs compliant and only comes up on genuine “content” pages (so not login, logout, editing, etc.)

It's a MediaWiki extension that lets you put AdSense in your wiki articles.
I just implemented it after seeing your post.

Thanks Dan.

Howdy, like many others I found this page when I went searching for ways to merge Google AdSense and MediaWiki. While Dan's is a good solution, it wasn't quite what I wanted.

His is good for everypage, unobtrusive in the nav menu. I wanted user controlled, page specific adds.

Didn't seem like this existed. So I tried to fix that: http://lukej.net/mediawiki/index.php/AdSense

Thought I'd put a link here for anybody else that managed to find Dan's page, but were looking for the same features as me.

Thanks Dan.

Thanks for the code. I’ve already inserted it on my site http://www.wikiweb.org and for the most part it’s up and runnning. But for some reason it doesn’t show up on the main page, just content pages deeper in. Running MediaWiki: 1.4.9 Any ideas would be great. Reply to: unangst/gmail

Maybe there is a loophole. Obfuscated email addresses don’t violate AdSense rules, so maybe we need a wikimedia markup that obfuscates generaly. HGH which can be rendered in multiple ways that are hard to scrape. Possibilities are a picture, letters mixed with invisible html markup, look-a-like fonts, and more.

Does anyone know how to add Adsense into the articles themselves, rather than the border? It works much better if it’s in the content rather than off to the side.

There is a setting ($wgAllowUserJs)that is supposed to allow Javascript, but it doesn’t seem to work.

Yup. Right. And the Google AdSense rules leave no loopholes at all. In other word, one may not use any software to process or filter AdSense ads (and the required AdSense code snippet, as provided by Google, may not be modifiend or altered anyway).

Of course you might choose to try things out, like having the web server request the AdSense ad, filter it, and then forward it to the browser. Of course, Google will see that all views come from the same IP address, so I guess that you might lose a substantial part of the pay-per-view compensation (pay-per-click would still work). Google’s threat is that they might kick you out of AdSense, if they find out.
