Adsense code in server side include

is that ok to google? hard to update..

[silverbytes]

Can you put the adsense code in a server side inlude to ease the mantainance? does that work and is it allowed by google?

any experiences?

[GrantNZ]

Sure you can.

Many would be using Server Side Includes to include their Google code - saves time when you want to update your code, or when Google wants you to, because they've changed theirs, e.g. Google recent WebSearch code glitch.

Yes, as long as you aren't changing the code. Many here use SSI for AdSense.

Thanks.
My server doesn't support it I recently tried...
can that be possible?!

There is a good chance you just aren't setting it up right. If you are using it on .html or .htm pages you probably have to modify your .htaccess file to make it work. Also, there are different types of includes, file includes, virtuals etc. which each work a little differently, and if 1 thing is off then they won't work.

Have you actually contacted your host to verify that they are not supported or did you just try it and they didn't work?

[Jenstar]

Changing your URLs to end with .shtml will usually make SSIs work.

with shtml works.
the problem is that my pages are all .htm and cant move to shtml all my pages...

I need to insert that ssi in my htm pages... does anybody know how to?

Tried a library object (Dreamweaver) with the include but doesn't work for me...

Add the 2 lines to .htaccess placed in the root directory:

addtype text/html .htm
AddHandler server-parsed .htm

Will mean that every page is parsed as SSI by apache (possibly slowing down your website) - but I think that is what you are looking for.

SSI is fine, it works well with Adsense.

Those of you who are using FrontPage can achieve an SSI effect with Shared Borders or by using FrontPage Web Components > Included Content > Page.

And for those who don't use Frontpage, would you mind to tell us what code that inserts? Maybe we just can paste that code..

Well, no. What I want is to insert a piece of code without the weight of the whole script, just a reference to that. I propoused SSI but don't want to scrify my whole site speed for that...
Is there ohter alternative? Workarounds?
