For quite a long time, when most webmasters thought of the term CMS (Content Management System), they instantly thought of Mambo. This was the premiere open source solution for those who needed a cost free way to build a website with a lot of great options and the Mambo manual took pains to explain the entire process as clearly as was possible in those days. While the development team eventually split so that part of the team went on to develop Joomla while the rest set to work on Mambo 4.5.2, both CMS solutions developing into incredibly popular ways to run a website today.
There are many factors that make Mambo an attractive option for webmasters, but one of the strongest is that due to its age there are a host of Mambo CMS templates to choose from in nearly any style. This, combined with the ease of Mambo PHPbb interaction that allows for an excellent combination of high quality content site and full featured forums, has made this CMS a star in its league. Of course, there are many who build their sites to earn an income and with Mambo this is easy to do using Google’s pay per click money machine, Adsense.
In order to put Adsense onto your Mambo installation you will, of course, need a Mambo site installed, but you also need to have an Adsense account that has been verified. Google will give you the proper codes for your ad campaigns via their website, so you want to have these two things taken care of before you attempt this integration. Mambo’s extensions, or mods, are referred to as “mambots”. You will need to download the Adsense Mambot before we begin. Save it to your computer’s hard drive and then log into your Mambo admin account, navigating to the Installers section and then selecting the Universal sub category there.
Next, hit Browse and locate the Adsense Mambot that you just downloaded to your computer. Click “Upload File and Install”. Once you are brought back to the admin screen, select the Mambots tab from across the top of the screen, beneath the Mambo administrator header. Click on the Google Adsense Mambot and then, enter your Adsense data so your ads will be displayed properly on your site. You will have a lot of options to check out when you are setting up Adsense, so be sure to check the blue buttons on the far right and read what each option entails so that your Adsense ads run the way you want them to.
In order to have Adsense in your content, you need to make sure that AutoAds “ON” is selected first, then in your content you will make sure that you place this code at the bottom of your content to be sure the ads show up:
{mosgoogle}
You have additional options to set the ads to display left, right or centered:
{mosgoogle left}
{mosgoogle right}
{mosgoogle center}
After Publishing and Saving your content, the ads should show up exactly how you told Mambo to display them through the Adsense Mambot.
