Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adsense
There should be no difference between this and any other html page. I would check the settings in your google adsense account. This should work identically because it is identical.

You also want to do your editing in the index.template.html file in the html-template directory otherwise you will wipe out your edits every time you build a release.

Re: [flexcoders] Re: Adsense
The issue is the same no matter what kind of dynamic site you create. If it is based on Dojo (or any other Javascript framework), Silverlight, JavaFX or Flex. The one advantage that we have with Flex is that Adobe has gotten an agreement with Google and Yahoo to allow them to read the text in a Flex page using their search engine so, a clear way to do this should be coming soon if it is not here already. In the meantime, putting your SWF in a div and the ad in another div should work. The iframe solution would work to. fgnowfg wrote: --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com mailto:flexcoders%40yahoogroups.com, fgnowfg fgno...@... wrote: I know it's a question that's popped up on this board time and againwhat is the best way to publish ads in flex?
