Google AdSense

You’ll note that there are now Google AdSense ads down in the footer. I’m trying to defray my server lease costs [which run about ... ugh ... $4000/yr], and subscription fees for the forums I run and sub-leasing space to friends isn’t defraying the full cost. [Not even close.] So sorry … you get ads.

I’ve tried to find a WordPress plugin that chooses to show ads only to those folks coming in from Google, or perhaps only to people who don’t already have a comment on the site [as the comment sets a cookie locally], but … no dice.

1645: I ran the numbers, and the “not even close” is like $1500. :wince: Why do I do this again?

    Geoff, you’ve probably already seen it, but the WhoSeesAds plugin seems to do exactly what you’re looking for:

    Thomas: Thank you so much. I knew that this existed, but I flat out couldn’t remember where I’d seen it, and Google was giving me nothing.

    Bless you, sir.
