Put Adsense Banners in Your Archive

UPDATE: THIS PRODUCT NOW ONLY WORKS WITH VERSIONS 3.5.4 AND 3.6 AND UP. I WILL NOT RE-RELEASE THE OLDER VERSION.


This product is a simple one that will get you started in adding Google adsense banners to the top and bottom of your archive pages:

Demo here: http://www.eaforums.com/forums/archive/index.php/

To install: Import the product. Change the two plugins to use the adsense code for your site (instead of mine - unless you are feeling generous) and to arrange its positioning as desired.

To upgrade: Uninstall the old product. Install the new one.

Where do I go to change this?

Any reason why you're escaping all your quotes instead of using PHP heredocs?
They make it much easier to paste code in without having to escape everything.

PHP Code:

$output.=<<<OUTPUT
<div align="center" style="padding:4px;overflow:hidden;">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-CODE;
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
google_ad_type = "text_image";
google_ad_channel ="123456789";
google_color_border = "336699";
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF";
google_color_link = "0000FF";
google_color_text = "000000";
google_color_url = "008000";
//--></script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
</div>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
<tr><td width="85%" valign="top">
OUTPUT; 


Unless there's some negative to using that method I'm not aware of?

Oh, where are my manners...
Great mod!!!!
Thanks Amy
It looks fantastic!
I have one tip for people, don't forget to create a custom channel called "Forum Archive" or something, so that when you generate the code for these ads it will track them properly. I get a lot of traffic on my archived pages, from people searching for information. But it can be really useful to know how much of your Adsense revenue is coming from the archive, and how much is coming from your regular forum (assuming you have ads there).
If I remember, in a few weeks I might post a followup here to show what percentage of my revenue came from the Archive, it might be useful information for someone.

Installed on 3.6.0 and added my own banners:

If you want to add your own banners, you simply have to replace all " with \"

Thanks for this amykhar. perfect.
Did away with the Google code and inserted banners, <h1> text and a couple of <a href> hyperlinks. Looks good, I'm pleased with it.

How can I fix this?
