HOW TO ADD ADSENSE AD IN THE MIDDLE OF ANYWHERE IN BLOGGER POSTS

In a previous post we saw how and where we can place Adsense ads on our blog, however, these methods would only allow us to place ads on predetermined fixed locations and the common areas are the beginning of the post and/or the end of the post

 But what if we want to display an Adsense in the middle of a post?

Today I will show you how you can manipulate the location of the ads to be displayed by adding a script inside the template and using a tag inside our post to where we want the Adsense ad to appear. Once added, we can place the ads anywhere, be it between paragraphs or in the middle of the content etc.

Usually the advice is that you fully backup your template(go to Template >click on Backup/restore buttton)

Step 1 First thing we need to do is to "Parse" the Adsense code, in other words, convert it to plain text.
Then go to Template, click on the Edit HTML button, click anywhere inside the code area and lood for this tag below using CTRL + F

Note: you may find it several times, but we need to stop at the second one or if you can't see any changes, test the third one

Step 2. Replace the tag with this code:

Download the above code Here
Step 3. Put the converted Adsense code to where you see the annotation, then save the changes by clicking on the Save template button.
Note: For centering ads, add the center tag before and after the AdSense code, like this:

Step 4. When you create a New Post, add this tag inside the HTML section to where you want the Google AdSense ads to appear:

For example:

Note: If you don't add the label to bring up the ad, then the ad will appear below the title by default.
And you don't have to worry about violating the Google's Terms of Service because applying this method we are not changing the structure of the ad.

HOW TO ACCESS A BLOCKED WEBSITE

6 EASY WAYS TO ACCESS A BLOCKED WEBSITE

Given the current stature of the constitutional “Rights” and “Freedoms” conferred upon the public in most of the democracies, censorship and bans on trivial matters often come as a surprise. And in the era of the Internet, harassing the general public is even easier. Be it the controversial net neutrality, or restriction to access to specific websites.

If you also feel stifled by the blocked websites then here are some ways to access blocked websites:

1. Become Anonymous: Use Proxy Websites

A proxy website becomes a moderator between the user and server site. The proxy website camouflages the blocked site from the ISPs and allows you to access blocked websites. To get a proxy website for any blocked site, just perform the Google search.

Eg: Facebook Proxy Server. In case, Facebook is blocked in your institution, or you can go to

http://www.spysurfing.com/

http://proxify.us/p/ and more…

2. Use VPN

VPN or Virtual Proxy Network allows you to connect your device to a secure connection to another network over the internet. VPN enables you to access blocked websites from your home network and puts your IP address in a land far away. You can also download the apps or open the sites blocked in your country.

3. Use IP Rather Than URL

The blocked website sometimes are stored as a list of URLs and using IP of the website might work in few of the cases. To get the IP address for any website, you do a ping domain.com command in Command Prompt.

Using IP is a simple way to access blocked websites in your region. However, if the website had hidden its IP too, then it won’t open with this method.

4. Change Network Proxy In Browsers

Your college or institute might be having more than one proxy for its network. So, it happens that some websites are restricted on one proxy, but accessible in another. So, you can give a try to proxy surfing to access blocked websites in your college.

Change the advanced settings of your Firefox browser and select the Manual Proxy. Put the bypass proxy under HTTP proxy.

5. Use Google Translate

Institutes or even countries sometimes don’t ban Google Translate. So, you can bypass the restriction by converting the blocked website into some other language that you may know. Try Google Translate and see for yourself. It is yet another simple way to access blocked websites.

6. Bypass via Extensions

If the websites that are blocked by your institute or office are dynamic in nature such as Facebook or YouTube, then should give a try to these extensions. Hola and ProxMate are some extensions that you can use to access blocked websites.

These are some of the most effective and easy to use methods to circumvent the censorship that has been put on your favorite websites. Let us know which one do you prefer to access blocked websites in your region.
