Who Sees Ads?
You’d be crazy not to be thinking about having at least a little bit of Adsense on your MMO blog at the moment. With average clicks bringing in around $1.50 it is a very easy way of making money. The problem is finding a layout that will get clicks from search engine traffic but not annoy your regular readers. People searching click, regular readers don’t. Anybody who reads this blog regularly will know that there has been some in-post Adsense. It’s annoying to those people who are only interested in reading the content, I’m not stupid, I know that! But on the other hand positioning it elsewhere just doesn’t get the clicks. Over 80% of the traffic for this blog now comes from the search engines, that means in general terms nice click happy customers. I’d be a fool to ignore the income potential for those visitors. So long story short, I need a way of showing ads to those visitors that arrive via a search engine and not to those regular readers.
I’ve found the solution. It’s a WordPress plugin called Who Sees Ads. It does what it says on the tin. You define a number of rules which decide whether or not a section of code/text is displayed or not. Please see the image below but in my case I’ve set it to show the ads to search engine visitors but not to regular readers.
If you’re a regular reader and still seeing Adsense in the post body itself then keep coming back, it might take a few hits to recognise you as a regular reader but from that point on no more in post Adsense. It’s really tough trying to keep everybody happy but hopefully this should go some way towards it?

I have and still use.
That sounds like a great plugin! I need to get adsense back on my blog!

I used to have a plugin (I couldn’t remember the name correctly) “why do…..” but it didn’t work on WP 2.6 so I took it away.
This is one looks like a nice alternative though…thanks for the heads up. Yes, I do agree the organic traffic is those who are more likely to click on ads than your regular readers or subscribers.

Thank you for this very informative article. It’s details like this that most of us over look. We hardly put any thought on the display of the ads that will optimize “clicks” from visitors.
