Now it has been proved that, the clicks we get on oue blogs’ ads are mostly from the people who come from Search Engine and not from our blogs’ regular visitors.
Thus, it will be a better idea to display Adsnse ads to only those coming from Search Engine. This will also prevent your blog from being “Smart Priced”.
For this add this code to your functions.php file -
function scratch99_fromasearchengine(){
$ref = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$SE = array(’/search?’, ‘images.google.’, ‘web.info.com’, ’search.’, ‘del.icio.us/search’, ’soso.com’, ‘/search/’, ‘.yahoo.’);
foreach ($SE as $source) {
if (strpos($ref,$source)!==false) return true;
}
return false;
}
The $SE array is where you specify search engines. You can easily ad new search engines by adding new elements to the array.
Then, paste the following code anywhere on your template where you want your adsense ads to appear. They’ll be displayed only to visitors comming from search engines results.
if (function_exists(’scratch99_fromasearchengine’)) {
if (scratch99_fromasearchengine()) {
INSERT YOUR CODE HERE
}
}
