It could just be that Google has no ads to serve on that page. BTW, I have
my google ads at the top. Would you mind sharing your xhtml template so I
can use that configuration (under the nav) as well?

Subject: [Mediawiki-l] AdSense code not crediting


(sterlingda at greaterthings.com)

I was able to successfully integrate the AdSense code into my navigation
column at PESWiki.com, and the ads are appearing, however, the click-through
are not crediting to my account, according to my channel stats.  They did
work for a while when I first installed them two days ago.  My stats show
that I pulled in some clicks and revenue on Aug. 24.  The site traffic has
been increasing, but the AdSense stats for Aug. 25 and 26 show null.

I'm stumped.  I've checked and triple checked the code, re-creating it from
the Google site and trying several variations of options, inserting the code
exactly as given me from Google.

Any ideas as to why it might not be functioning correctly now?

Here is an excerpt of the code as defined in the xhtml_slimp.pt file.

 <div id="p-advertisement" class="portlet">
  <h5>Advertisement</h5>
  <div class="pBody">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-2123041442112459";
google_alternate_ad_url =
"http://www.pureenergysystems.com/advertising/Google/AdSense/alt_ad.htm";
google_ad_width = 120;
google_ad_height = 600;
google_ad_format = "120x600_as";
google_ad_channel ="7870537437";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_color_border = "FFFFFF";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "6600FF";
google_color_url = "008000";
google_color_text = "000000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
  </div>
 </div>

When you go to check it, please be aware that it may be different from the
above as I will be trying different Google settings to trouble shoot.

By the way, the alternate ad URL above did not open into a full screen when
I clicked on it to test it after creating it for the first time.  It opened
as if in a frame in the Wiki panel, the rest of the page staying the same.
What fixed that was to define target="_parent" in the hyperlinks.

Thanks,

Sterling
