Good questions 😉

I don’t really have a way to test whether Google dislikes my Javascript, it’s an assumption. But it’s also not the main reason I’m asking. My own numbers show that the advertisement in the first post generates 2.5x more revenue than the other banners (I use the same Adsense Responsive Unit on all slots currently, so I can’t further distinct between locations).

The LinkUnit in the second post, which is outside the scope of this post, but might be interesting to other readers, even generates 4x more revenue.

Regarding the “only shown to registered users”, my apologies I made a mistake there, it should say, only to unregistered users (c.q. guests), this is also what the code shows (it checks whether the current Discourse user is null, and if so, it injects the Adsense code)

I’ve previously tried to understand the Discourse plugin system, but unfortunately I haven’t really had time to get Discourse up and running locally and fiddle with the code myself. With my current knowledge, and that could be totally wrong, I would think the plugin maintainer could also hook to something like the post.cooked part and add that to the plugin, but maybe it’s much harder than that.
