AdSense and Mambo AdSense mambots

No channel

[GuluGulu]

I run channels to view detailed reporting. Recently, in my website, I have implemented Mambo CMS. There is a AdSense mambots, that lets you display AdSense on any Mambo content page using the following code:

{mosgoogle}

This inserts the AdSense code directly on the content page like this:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
google_ad_client = "pub-**********";
google_alternate_color = "FFFFFF"; 
google_ad_width = 336; 
google_ad_height = 280; 
google_ad_format = "336x280_as"; 
google_ad_type = "text"; 
google_color_border = "FFFFFF"; 
google_color_bg = "FFFFFF"; 
google_color_link = "0000FF"; 
google_color_url = "0099FF"; 
google_color_text = "000000"; 
//--> 
</script>
<script type="text/javascript" 
 src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> 
</script>

Perhaps I am using the Mambots that were released before G introduced Ad Channels.
My question is, will the above code still register clicks and made earnings, if still there is no Ad Channels?

Ad channels are only for your own statistics, you don't need an ad channel for clicks to be registered.

I use Mambo but I don't bother with the mambots.

First: be sure that you have the WYSIWYG editor turned off or it will mess things up royally. Then just create a new module, paste the adsense code inside, give it a location & name (I don't display the name) and you're good to go.

Doing it this way means you can get your channel code inserted and useable. Better than a mambot.

The AdSense Mambot is really Nice, and the WYSIWYG editor does not mess up the code even a bit. In fact, I just copied the sample code here directly from my site.

Instead of creating a new module, the mambot is more flexible, because I use the 336x280 size and I can place it anywhere in the content I wish with left, right, upper, bottom, middle alignment.

Very handy.

Maybe you have an old copy of the mambot. I use Mambo on about 4 different sites and in the mambot admin I see "Ad Channel" as the third field down.
