It's a new program that allows you to default to your ads of choice instead of their PSA's. Works pretty well, too.  |

I don't think you're missing anything - I was just implementing this and realised the same as you - their code won't work :
google_alternate_ad_url = "<a href="http://www.google.com"><img src="http://www.mydomain/images/Picture1.jpg" /></a>";
This is the Google (JavaScript) variable assignment which is obviously wrong ...
so is it better to :
1. Replace all the " with ' within the variable value
OR
2. Prefix all " with \ within the variable value

| The code works just put it in a separate include file. |

Why use a separate file ?
Surely it can work like this Google say to do it ? |

OK, I'm still trying to get it working inline (all the rest does, so shouldn't this as well ?  ).
The \ didn't translate properly, but the use of ' seems to work, Google translates it into a " but then produces an error image anyway  |

You need to link to another file that just has the href and image tag.
I have a page called altgoogle.htm. In this file all I have is:
<A target=_blank HREF="http://www.amazon.ca"><IMG border="0" SRC="amazon_dvds.gif" width="468" height="60"></A>
Nothing else (I mean nothing).
I then have an inc_google_adsense.asp with the following:
<script type='text/javascript'><!--
google_ad_client = 'xxxxxxxx';
google_alternate_ad_url = "http://www.myserver.com/forum/altgoogle.htm";
google_ad_width = 468;
google_ad_height = 60;
google_ad_format = '468x60_as';
google_color_border = 'CCCCCC';
google_color_bg = 'FFFFFF';
google_color_link = 'FFFFFF';
google_color_url = '000000';
google_color_text = '000000';
//--></script>
<script type='text/javascript'
src='http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js'>
</script>

From the Google site:
"Clickable Images: To load a clickable image, specify an HTML page containing the link information for your ad."
I also misread this and it drove me nuts. The example that they use is misleading. |

OK, but if I'm doing that can I cheat a bit ....
make the altgoogle.htm a altgoogle.asp instead and randomise my banners ?
I'm trying it now anyway |

sorry to come in here with this possible 'dumb' question, but is there a completed mod for GoogleAdsense somewhere ? I have started a website in English, so now AdSense is supported (it doesn't support Dutch...), and I was wondering if someone has a completed mod.
Thanks in advance. |

| Showing Adsense on your forums is really easy with My Site Integration MOD. Just install the MOD, enable one of the panels (top/left/right/bottom) and place the AdSense code in the approriate inc file. |
