Here is what Andrew Hemingway wanted to know:

We are trying to add Google AdSense to our site, but we have to put something in the coding. How do we do that? Will the html function in the content editor work? Or do you have to add this feature in for us. Can you please let me know. Are there any analytics built into the site?

I guess many users have already noticed that Profy is one of only a handful of blogging platforms that actually allow for bloggers to show ads on their blogs (we have no limitations for that) and earn money without having to deal with hosting and other standalone blogs issues. But for the time being we have not created any special plug-ins to make this possible.

Actually if you use HTML editor in the blog posts editor, you will need to insert the code for every single post you create. So what I can recommend you is as follows:

Go to the Blog -> Layout tab

When you configure the layout of your blog, you can use the link ‘Add a page element’ in the lower left corner of the layout editing screen to add a new widget. From the list of available widgets choose the ‘Custom Code’ to add any HTML/JavaScript code as a widget for your blog. Here you can paste the code that you can get from your Google AdSense account.

After adding the widget, you can drag and drop layout elements to arrange everything the way you want your readers to see it on your blog.

If you use Google AdSense do not forget that in your account should be properly configured to allow your ads to be displayed on your Profy blog. Make sure that in AdSense Setup tab => Allowed Sites you either have ‘Allow any site to show ads for my account ’ (this is the default setting) or have added your Profy blog URL in the list of allowed sites.

And do not forget to check the publishers policy and ToS of the advertising network you use to display ads on your Profy blog not to violate some of the conditions.

Regarding analytics, for the time being we do not have any built-in tools for users to track their visitors. Such tools will definitely be added in the future but unfortunately the alpha version lacks such functionality. For the time being I think the best option is to add a widget for Google Analytics to your blog. This widget can be configured as you want it to be and added to your blog via the Custom Code widget from the Layout tab.

And keep in mind that there are tons of great widgets on WidgetBox and other websites that you can use via the Custom Code for your Profy blog. I will try to add a widget for my Twitter updates here as soon as I click the Publish button.

And do not forget to let me know about the great widgets that you use to enhance your Profy blog so that I could share this knowledge with all the users (if you do not mind sharing, that is).
