So taking Hythian’s suggestion, I did some research and found the Google Referrer program for Firefox that he mentioned. You need to be a Google AdSense affiliate (I am), and you simply get some additional code to paste into your site.<\/p>\n
All well and good, but I couldn’t get it to work. Some of the referrer stuff would display, some wouldn’t, and it seemed to interact together badly.<\/p>\n
Finally thought to view in IE. Hmmm. Works there. Front page looks like crap, but the referrals work.<\/p>\n
But …<\/p>\n
Hmmm …<\/p>\n
Looked at an individual archive page. Multiple AdSense stuff working perfectly there, FF and IE … and the page looks good in both, too.<\/p>\n
So … something screwy between the two templates?<\/p>\n
Both have the same doctype at the top<\/p>\n
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional\/\/EN” “http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/html4\/loose.dtd”><\/p>\n
Interesting … different charsets in the metas. The main index uses UTF-8, the archive page uses ISO-8859-1. I wouldn’t think that would make a difference, and MT should be publishing the page as UTF-8 anyway … Make the correction for the archive page template, no difference.<\/p>\n
Hmmm. Requires more looking. The basic page framework divs are the same for both, which makes me wonder if I have a div problem on the main index page (outside the basic framework) — except I don’t understand how that would screw up the page in IE (but not in FF) and I *really* don’t understand why it would screw up the AdSense Java scripts.<\/p>\n
Must ponder further.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
