My Drupal Web host and Domain Registrar Review site

JubW - July 15, 2008 - 20:48

I just created a new web host and domain registrar site using drupal 6. It was pretty easy to configure everything and will definitely use drupal on future sites.

Nicely done. Question, how

Nicely done. Question, how did you enable adsense and how did you include your Affiliate advertisers ( I assume they're affiliates).
I'm all for keeping module use to a minimum (when possible) so I am just checking to make sure that adsense can be dropped into a block as well as affiliate adv too. This would also apply to Google Analytics too.
Can you confirm that is what you did and if so any gotchas.

I'm glad you like it. The

I'm glad you like it. The adsense on the left side is using the simple ads module and the addthis button is using the addthis module. The rest are blocks

You can drop adsense,

You can drop adsense, affiliate ads, Google Analytics or anything else into a block. Just make sure "PHP Code" is selected for your input format if you're adding php or javascript. You can also add any of these things directly to your theme, which is what I normally do with Google Analytics.

Eorr, thnx for confirmation.

Eorr, thnx for confirmation. I suppose I can hard code the analytics script into the page template file - is that right?
Given the overhead why then, does everyone use the modules for Google Analytics and Adsense do they provide some functionality I'm not aware of? Can someone who uses these modules say anything about benefits. TIA

Yes, you would put the GA

eorr - July 22, 2008 - 13:57

Yes, you would put the GA script in page.tpl.php. It makes sense to use a module for Adsense simply for ease of maintaining, especially if the site is being developed for a client to maintain. Hardcoding adsense could also get tricky if you're restricting ads to specific pages or roles, etc., but since Google Analytics is such a short snippet that theoretically should be on each page, it makes more sense to put it directly in the page template IMO. I think anytime you can avoid using a module you're saving significant overhead.

Revenue sharing with adsense

mulogic - July 22, 2008 - 19:57

If you implement ad sense revenue sharing, then it's better to use the existing module.
The pub-id for the ad on a page has to be generated dynamically.

Only strange signs

a page full of this is all I see

crash

Netlynx - September 16, 2008 - 22:27

interesting. I am browsing on my nokia e90 and after 8 months yours is the ONLY site that consistantly crashes me out of the browser before completing rendering of the page. I run a number of drupal sites and do admin etc. from this phone so it is specific to your site.
What is it I wonder. This is a first for me!
Shame as I wanted to checkout your site structure...

Modules you used?

Hi,

Nice site. I'm looking to build a review site like this but for restaurants and places of interest around my university for students and teachers to review. could you please let me know what modules you used? All help is appreciated.

Cheers
