Miscellaneous Hacks - Google Adsense (or any kind of ads) on attachment image

I coded this hack as a paid service request here
by zlos.

I'll go fast on this by using his request thread as a description for this hack.

Briefly it allows you to put Google adsense ( or any kind of ads) on image attachments. Currently supported gif, jpeg, jpg, bmp and psd.

To customize your ads, edit image_adsense template. Make sure to change the adsense code to yours or I'll steal the money from you clicks .

check attachment for Screenshot.

UPDATE:

- 03/20/2007: Correct a bug for PSD or JGP/GIF files. The ads will now be displayed with those files (upper case letters). Thanks zlos for this.

- Edit 17/04/2007:

I've corrected one error and I think it should be working now. Or you can try it here:

user:admin/password: admin. The product I used there is the same as at vb.org.

Hope it works now.

This hack is absolutely free (no f***king lite version whatsoever). however anykind of donation is welcome, my paypal is bloodynighcrawler [at] gmail [dot] com.

Well - it is up to you to fill in the page with proper content. You have now a bunch of possibilities to make it a real page and not only empty with simple image and google ad.

I am still in progress of building a content page displaying images instead of staying with simple - maybe TOS-violating - page.

Try this:
- delete the product completely (inluding the plugin)
- install it once more

I don't know about dependencies with SEO or portal systems, since I am not using those.

Many images, when clicked, will open the original file in a new window. If THAT page is displaying these ads, you are in violation of googles TOS.

Adding relevant content for google ads to be displayed on a page where the only thing displayed is the original file size is pretty difficult to do. (Not to mention a massive waste of time.)

Those who use this feature, if it is iondeed how it works, need to realize that if caught, your account WILL be terminated.

vB opens an image which is bigger in a new file. It is not original file.
Standard behaviour of vB is that images which are of the same size are not clickable.

Anyhow - I will write to Google to clarify this from their point of view.

This is clearly a violation of Google Adsense TOS.

But, it can be use for other ad networks, great idea

Following this, no image gallery would be allowed to use Google Adsense.
Although I don't want my account to be cancelled and thus replaced GA ads with another network, which has responded positively.

p.s. Still waiting for answer from Google guys...

Isn't working for me either on 3.6.5 attachments are in filesystem.

The attachments appear just fine, but no advertisements.
