Adding AdSense to MediaWiki

[Sleepers]

Hello everyone!

I'd like to add my adsense code to my wiki.

I'm having trouble doing it.

I'd like to attach beneath the "Disclaimers" link on the bottom.

Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance.

I'm not familiar with that particular software, but usually one would have to find the appropriate template file or program file used to generate the footer area and insert the Adsense javascript code there.

I understand you may have a good reason for putting the Adsense in that location, but be aware that the click through rate will probably be quite low. The Adsense help pages have a "heat map" showing which page areas tend to get more eyeball time and clicks.

thank you very much!
i hope someone more familiar could tell me the exact location :)

By the way, welcome to WebmasterWorld, Sleepers.

Generally, hot spots are at the beginning of the content or where the user expects to see navigation. These spots may not create the best user experience, because you are placing ads where content or navigation is expected - you'll have to decide whether it's worth it.
