Here you can find more information about adsense widget usage.
Adsense ID
This is your unique adsense id given by google. You can see your adsense id on top right corner of Google Adsense Panel. It is a number startin with “pub-”. For this field you need to enter “pub-” in front of your id.
Title
Title is shown before the widget. Its display is theme dependent. It displays as widget title.
Ad Type
Adsense widget supports all the ad types provided by Google Adsense. (See : Available ad formats)
Slot Id
Slot id defines adsense visual elements of your ad unit. After you create a new adsense unit with the current Google Adsense generator, it is embedded inside the code.
Slot id stores color, size, font & corners options. If you specify a slot id for the ad you have added, it will get all those settings from the ad you created.
One great advantage of using slot id is that, if you change the colors from Manage Ads panel in Google Adsense control panel, color scheme will be updated on all ad units using same slot id.
Channel Id
Channel id allows you track reports of your adsense units. Every channel displayed seperately on adsense reports. You can see your top channels on Reports Overview.
It is good practice to use definitive channel names like: ShailanComSidebar OR ShailanComTopBanner.

Adsense channel id is numerical. Please check your channels and fix the channel id.

Hi, I installed your Adsense widget in my WordPress blog. I haven’t seen if it works yet, but I dragged the widget over to my sidebar, and it does not have a place to enter the AdSense ID. It only asks for title, which I don’t know what that is. I put the AdSense ID into the title slot, but it probably won’t work. Your widget was the only one I could find that fit with my level or version of WordPress. I just want it to be simple. Please help me. Thank you.
Your Adsense ID will be entered in the settings panel. Soon i will add option for entering it per widget too. So you can display ads from multiple accounts.
Oh, I forgot to tell you that I just changed my theme to twentyten theme. It doesn’t seem to have as many options compared to the Atahualpa, but I really like it and don’t want to give it up. Is there a way to “adapt” it to the theme?
Check this tutorial on how to change colors of adsense here. Soon i will add color selections to options.
Ok, I found where to put my AdSense ID–in the settings. But I still don’t know what the title is, and I don’t know where to find my channel number. On my AdSense account, it showed where to add my URL to the channel, but I don’t find any channel Number! So I published what I had, without the title and channel ID, and of course it is still blank.
Thank you for your help.
Title is the widget title. Can be something like “Google Ads”.
Channel field is optional. It is only for analytics of the ads. If you don’t know where to find custom channels, it is possible that you didn’t create one. In the new adsense interface, you can find it under My Ads tab. Click here for an image showing where to find custom channels.
Hi, For the Adsense ID, when I put in “pub-xxx” in the widget no ads display. However, when I take out the “pub” and simply put my 16 digit number in the widget, ads are displayed. Does this make any difference? I’m yet to see any data appear on my adsense account and its been a couple of days.
When I try enter my slot id no ads also display. Ads only display if I leave the slot ID blank.
Thanks very much for your help.
cheers

Shailan,
Thanks for the app, but no luck so far. All IDs are added, saved and still no beans. Its on the frontpage of LOLwithMe.org in the right side widget bar, bottom under “Obligatory Yet Unobtrusive Ad”… Should be a 160×600 wide skyscraper. Your help would be appreciated :)
Could you check that you have a TAB after your user ID.
This may be the reason.
Damn you’re good!!! That was it! :)
Thanks so much for your help and your awesome widget. Really appreciate it… have a good day :)
Last questions Shailan.
Any idea if I can center my ad? Certainly I must be able to add some code somewhere? If you give me a keyword to search for where I should place the right code, I can get the rest done…
I appreciate it your help, in advance. If its more than 5 minutes work for you, forget about it.
Thanks!
You can align ad units using CSS easily. Just add the following code to your theme stylesheet:
.adsense.wide_skyscraper { width: 160px; margin: 10px auto; }Brilliant! Worked like a charm.
Next time I get my student allowance, I’m donating.
Thanks a million!
Cannot get ads to display, please advise.
Hello Allen, your adsense id has spaces and tabs:
Please fix this and it should work.
I appreciate this plugin! I’ve been looking for something like this for a while so thank you! I just have a question, how can I get two ads to run side-by-side? As in two 160×600 ads running alongside each other?
You need to use CSS classes:
.adsense.skyscraper{ float:left; }Please change this code to fit your needs.
