Description
Use this plugin to quickly and easily insert Google Adsense to your posts, pages and sidebar by using a shortcode or calling the php function from your theme’s template file.
There are many plugins and services which can add Google Adsense to your WordPress site. However I found that even though something like Adsense Manager or Adsense Deluxe provides a lot of customizable options, it can be overwhelming and isn’t really simple enough for people who are new to WordPress.
I found that most of the time I only use two or three types of Google Adsense units in various places and posts throughout my sites.
That’s why I wrote my own Simple Adsense Insertion Plugin for WordPress, to focus on having 1-3 Google Adsense codes saved and use them where ever I want to on my site by inserting a simple shortcode text to my posts, pages and sidebar.
This plugin can also be used to automatically insert in-article ad code. If specified, the ad code is inserted after the 2nd paragraph of every posts.
It also has the ability to automatically insert adsense code at the end of every article.
You can use this plugin to store any ad code too (it doesn’t have to be just adsense code).

FAQ
-
Does this plugin allow complex adsense management?
-
No.
-
Can I automatically insert adsense code at the end of every article?
-
Yes.
-
Can I automatically insert adsense inside every article?
-
Yes. You can automatically insert after after the 2nd paragraph of every article.
-
I am updating an older version of the plugin. Will it still work?
-
The method for displaying ads changed in version 1.2. The old style will continue to work in this version, but it highly suggested that you update all the adcode in your content to the new method.
An easy way to do this would be to install the find/replace plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-and-replace/) and update all your old tags. Example: Find and replace it with [wp_ad_camp_1].
