The Top Adsense Plugins for Wordpress

Adsense and Wordpress work together in perfect harmony – these are the top adsense plugins suited for your website.

Adsense Injection – This adsense plugin injects adsense wherever you choose, using a code (once you set your publisher ID up) and injecting adsense wherever you want it in a post, using the tag <!–adsense–>, you can set up multiple styles, so setting up a few different looking ads with size and color schemes are integrated and called by using a unique code – for example <!–adsense4–> or whatever you choose to call it.

Adsense WP Widget – A quick and easy solution to creating an Adsense block to display on every page in your sidebar widgets (near your blogroll, etc). This plugin costs $1USD, don’t really know why, but hey – depending on your traffic you could make that back in a day.

Adsense Deluxe – This bad boy offers some unique options to manage automated insertion of your Adsense, and even your Yahoo feed. It has universal control to change your Adsense color scheme across your entire site.

Adsense Earnings – This plugin is incredibly useful if you aren’t logged into your Google adsense account. This is useful for folks like me, logged into Gmail from another account, and then logging into Adsense with another… which logs me out of email most of the time. This plugin shows your daily earnings, and overall CTR of the site.

Shylock – This is another really uniquely designed Adsense plugin. This will swap the targetted keywords to higher-paying ones on posts older than X days, weeks, months. You need to really play around with this one and make it work for you.

AdRotator – A plugin that can manage adsense and affiliate banners, etc. Great for seeing your top performing ads on the site, and doing some split testing between Adsense/banners.

RevShare – A great, great plugin if you have guest writers on your blog – the option of letting them write for your site and having their own Adsense ads on page. They’ll be happy that their writing is benefiting you while they make a bit of passive income on the side.

Beautifier – A fun one for designers. Images are placed near the Ad, to improve CTR – Warning: may be against Adsense TOS

Ad Wrap – Want sectional targetting? Google spiders will love this one because it wraps your posts up in a nice targetted adsense wrap.

Top Search Engine Optimization Plugins for Wordpress

There are many SEO plugins that are completely awesome for wordpress. Not as many great options as the Adsense ones, but these are damn good.

Google Position – I am absolutely in love with this plugin. Easily track your position in the SERPs by placing your desired keywords. Main terms as well as long-tail keywords are trackable, and if you have clients using a wordpress site, this is almost a must. Giving detailed and accurate reports of the position of search terms, without having to search for yourself.

All in One SEO – Another great plugin that helps you tailor your meta data. Page title, meta keywords, and description in a twitter fashion. Most search engines use a maximum of 160 chars for the description. It gives you a character count in a little box so you can maximize your keyword copy. Brilliant!

SEO Siloing – This one may be a bit dated, but it’s perfect for those that don’t quite grasp the Wordpress setup in the permalinks area. Typical SEO practice is to have /%category%/%postname%/, this just overrides the settings to do exactly that.

Your basic infographic will have all the important statistics and data laid out. For example, when someone wanted to blog about the recession and which companies are “sinking ships”, they created something ingenious:

The clever idea of sinking ships representing companies that go under, the bigger the boat, the more they were in debt.
Here’s another infographic – one that is just not in English:

Infographics are changing the way social media is represented as well.
