We need Adsense support for Posterous!

about 2 years ago Nischal Shetty responded:

Chris

That would be good. But I really doubt if the posterous guys plan to let us monetize it...

about 2 years ago Chris responded:

I was once told by the co-founder that they were working on it

about 2 years ago Nischal Shetty responded:

Oh! Then thts good news... lets hope they introduce adsense soon then :)

about 2 years ago Chris responded:

Sachin talked about a "Pro Posterous" - I get the suspicion this might be on the backburner

about 2 years ago Nischal Shetty responded:

Who knows.. monetization mite be a part of it! I guess pro wud consist of stuff like more storage spaCE

about 2 years ago Adi S. responded:

Can't wait 2 see that too...

about 2 years ago Rohan Likhite responded:

Adsence would definitely make posterous a bit more mainstream.

What keeps us from putting Adsense code into our custom templates?

about 2 years ago Nischal Shetty responded:

@Walter

Custom templates allow javascript? If they do then we should probably be able to put the adsense code.. I haven't really tried it.. but I doubt if javascript's allowed...

about 2 years ago Walter Schärer responded:

@Nischal

Yup, you're right, JavaScript is not executed. I tried it but the page simply seems to ignore the code.
We'll have to wait for the 'official' solution...

Why is it that Guy Kawasaki has this figured out? Check out his posterous http://holykaw.alltop.com/ - I really want to plug in adsense!

about 2 years ago Nischal Shetty responded:

@Dan

Guy Kawasaki is a Posterous investor. I guess they are trying out adsense on Posterous after all. We'll have to however wait for posterous to allow adsense!

about 2 years ago Fernando Rodríguez Romero responded:

Any news on that front? I would definately pay for a "posterous pro" that allowed for this. And since we're talking monetization, how is Posterous making money?

almost 2 years ago Walter Schärer responded:

I haven't heard anything lately. But I am moving away from Posterous towards Wordpress. The options for search engine optimization are just too limited in Posterous. My Wordpress pages rank easily in top positions, whereas Posterous lags way behind.

almost 2 years ago Chris responded:

I am also migrating to Wordpress - I will keep my Posterous, but Wordpress offers so many more options. Yes, Wordpress is more complicated, which is what makes Posterous so awesome. But SEO rules on Thesis/Wordpress

almost 2 years ago Walter Schärer responded:

Same here, I will keep posterous for private stuff but migrate 'important' stuff to Wordpress. It is slightly more cumbersome to use, but it offers way more options to optimise my visibility.
My new travel blog http://www.schaerers.info/reisen/en/ made it to top positions within days (literally!). For some travel keywords I rank on Google's first page. And it's just a private blog...
My posterous pages never made it to any significant ranking 8-(

I feed my Posterous page via the http://ferreemoney.amplify.com/ API and since my Amplog is also linked to my:

Twitter http://twitter.com/FerreeMoney
Facebook http://www.facebook.com/JNFerree
Delicious http://del.icio.us/jnferree
FriendFeed http://friendfeed.com/ferreemoney

While its a long way up the hill, an eventual monetized model is in motion.

Letter from posterous to me :

Hi Ravi,

We don't support Google Adsense currently because we don't support javascript which it requires. We hope to add javascript support in a future release, likely as part of a paid premium version.

-brett

almost 2 years ago Ravi Kiran responded:

@Brad- Agreed. Conceptually doesn't make sense. Then again, anyone who decides to go premium probably won't do it for the adsense feature alone. I'm sure that's how they are planning it.

over 1 year ago Zain Shaikh responded:

I shifted my blog from blogger to posterous just for the sake of simplicity,. but I lost a very good feature AdSense :(

over 1 year ago Walter Schärer responded:

I've now seen AdSense on some Posterous blogs!

over 1 year ago Rohan Likhite responded:

@Walter Some users have somehow managed to add AdSense by adding its Javascript code to the posterous bar.

over 1 year ago Fernando Rodríguez Romero responded:

@Rohan Can you provide a link or elaborate on the technique?

over 1 year ago Biodrux Inc responded:

Guys... since we're all talking adsense.. why don't we all just link to each other and raise our blog google PR... for more traffic??? I'm in... let me know if you want me to link to you.

over 1 year ago Como Lucrar Online responded:

I'd love to add Adsense to my Posterous. If anyone is willing to help just say something.

over 1 year ago Nischal Shetty responded:

@André until Posterous does not introduce the feature themselves or allow javascript in themes, adsense cannot be used on Posterous.

over 1 year ago Como Lucrar Online responded:

@Nischal Damn Javascript... But I'm going to search for an hack or something...
But I'm getting concerned about the time it takes to "introduce features"... This post is dated from last year's June... that's too much! I love Posterous but it's getting difficult to manage the blog the way I like it without the 2000 plugins for each function I have, for example, in Wordpress...

over 1 year ago Hubert Silaa responded:

So we have to wait for monetization then? adsense can't be added on posterous yet?

over 1 year ago Shimono responded:

Hi guys,
I think I found a way to add ads in posterous. Just spreading the word in the posts I find on google. ;)

http://blog.shimono.com.br/tutorial-how-to-add-adsense-in-posterous-engl

Please, check it out and give suggestions if you have any!

about 1 year ago Samuel Oh responded:

@shimono the problem with that is that the ads are not relevant to anything you write on your blog; they'll be just random ads about random things, instead of, say, technology related ads for technology related blogs.

about 1 year ago Shimono responded:

Yes, the only configuration you can change is the main topic for adsense. For an example: you could indeed show only technology related ads, however, if your post is an antivirus comparison you wont have antivirus ads.

This is a workaround, and I hope an official adsense suport show up soon.

about 1 year ago uniqueproxy responded:

nice trick by shimono, like it!

about 1 year ago The Icon Concierge responded:

Shimono could you email me and maybe explain it more? sade (@) theiconconcierge (.) com"
