I’m missing it, I’m sorry I’m a newbie….

With the premium who sees ads how do I set the percentage my ads show versus the users, and where do I give it my adsense id? I’m completely lost on this one, and I take it I have to put it in plugins directory and not put the files in the mu-plugins directory for it to work?

    WSA is site adverts only. There’s no option to allow users to insert their own adverts.

    Think of it like how wp.com does theirs:

    Link with pictures

    Link

    The files go into the mu-plugins subdirectory.

    You insert your advert code within the options pages of the plugin on the Dashboard -> Site Admin side.

    Having said all that, I have to admit the idea of a percentage check and then possibly displaying something like a “Blog With Us” type advert for the site pops into my mind. May have to suggest that to my folks.

    Good question. Haven’t though about that.

    Heck, I’m going over to wanks and ask that myself.

    edit: Maybe include the adsense widget that the enduser can use with the Don’t display adverts plugin that comes with the Upgrades plugin? They have to pay for the “Don’t display adverts” upgrade to also be able to display their own adverts. That’s the way that comes to mind.

    Adsense Deluxe 2 does a percentage split, doesn’t it? One that you set via a javascript? Would there be a way to maybe unite the 2? Or make one do what the other does even….Right now all I’m seeing as far as possibilities I think, unless I’m over looking something is Using Adsense Deluxe 2 setting it to my desired percentage, I’m thinking 20% I’m new to this so not sure what would be good and what isn’t what would make me better than the others….use a plugin like plugin commander that forces it to be used on all new blogs, and you can even force activate it on all blogs and remove the ability for the user to deactivate the plugin. Problem then is having to go through the farmers 100 template pack and change all the ozh code to adsense deluxe 2 code. Am I thinking along the right lines here?
