I’ve pushed an update to the Better AdSense Targeting plugin for WordPress. Version 1.1 has been pushed to the WordPress Plugin Repository. This is a maintenance update to help improve your experience and results. As noted below, I did remove the option to target or ignore the ‘comments section’ due to the ability to accurately identify the comments loop 100% of the time. I hope to have a better way of doing this in the future. In this update are the following:

• Corrected issue when the loop is entered in the sidebar
• Now using the Shortcode API for the and tags in posts
• Removed option for Comments as there is not valid way to know the start/end of comments loop yet
• Added check for W3 Total Cache and warn to allow comments when minifying

I’ve put together a small update to the Updated Today Plugin. This updated includes the following:

• Added an option to link the banner to the most recently published post
• Cleaned up entries in options table to be one serialized array instead of separate entries for each option
• Added import of old settings into new version of options table

The update has been pushed to WordPress.org and should be available in your Updates section shortly.

Some of you may have read this post over at Lifehacker about the bandwidth limitations that Dropbox puts on the public folder a user shares. Well, since my Dropbox CDN plugin uses the public folder of your Dropbox account, I’m going to be including a feature that will seamlessly check to make sure that you haven’t hit your Dropbox limit before using the plugin settings.

I hope to have this feature released sometime this weekend. I’ll keep you posted.

I updated the post about how to create a custom theme for the DigitalNature Mystique theme for WordPess. It’s been updated to reflect new versions of WordPress and the Mystique theme. Let me know in the post comments if you have any other issues with this. Here’s a snapshot of what it looks like.

I’ve updated the Better AdSense Targeting plugin to allow users to specify in-line post content that should be ignored using the and tags. An example would be like the following:

I would like this to not be ignored content. I think it’s relevant to my topic.

This however isn’t necessarily relevant, is an analogy, or contains some keywords I’d rather not have used when determining my ads

But this I would like to have included…

What the plugin will do is replace the tags with the proper HTML to notify Google’s AdSense to ignore it. The rest of the plugin works as it has been, this is the only update but will allow users to fine tune their ad results.

It’s available now via WordPress.org or your WordPress Admin area. Comments are closed on this post, however if you have any issues please comment over at the Better AdSense Targeting plugin page.
