AdSense between news on main page?

This is killing me, I know I can do it but for some reason I can't figure it out, I wanna have Google ads between every 3 or 4 news articles, I already installed that "ads between news" module but for some reason, it won't let me add AdSense ones.... Any ideas?

Google adsense does not allow that. Their EULA only allows 1 placement per page.

6. Why is only one ad unit displaying ads?

The multiple ad units system detects the number of ad units that are on your page, and automatically serves unique ads to each ad unit. The system is optimized for pages that have highly targeted ads available – as a result, you may sometimes see that only the first ad unit contains ads. As our ad inventory changes, or if your page content changes, you may start seeing more ads on your page.

When only one ad unit is displaying ads, any additional ad units will display as transparent boxes, or will display the alternate ad or color that is defined in their ad code. Please note that each instance of ad code must have the alternate URL or color specified in order to display alternate content.

3. Can I display more than one set of Google ads on a web page?

You can place up to three Google ad units on any page. Our system will detect the multiple ad units and will display unique ads to each ad unit. This system is optimized for pages with highly targeted Google ads – some pages may not show ads in the second or third ad unit. In this case, the ad unit will show as a transparent box, or will contain any alternate ad or color specified in the ad code.

The upshot is: you can theoretically run up to 3 Google ad units per page. However, the chances of all three ads 'coming up' are next to none, especially if these are 'multiple' ad units (2, 3 or 4 ads per unit).

I run two Google ads on some of my pages, but the majority of the time, only one ad unit actually displays any ads.

Personally, I wouldn't bother running over two ads per page, unless they are 'single' ad units. I think you will find that running more than two Google ads, per page, is frustrating... Wink

Thanks Vin, somewhere I thought they told me I couldn't have more than one ad running Smile
