I understand this is for elgg and related topics but I thought I would share with everyone some ad results my father and I are coming up with.
It is related only in so far as elgg is a social networking plateform. This data may help others in targeting traffic. This is my fathers experiment as he helps with generating ads and traffic. We choose to post the data because we feel it's a big world and there is enough for everybody.

hi there..just created tutorials on adding adsense to elgg..worth a visit
http://elggwithadsense.blogspot.com/
Looks like a lot of trouble when two simple ad units need only be placed in;
views\default\canvas\layouts---either two_column_left_sidebar or two_column_right_sidebar, which ever you are using?
<!-- left sidebar -->
<div id="two_column_left_sidebar">
<?php
echo elgg_view('page_elements/owner_block',array('content' => $vars['area1']));
?>
<!-- add notes to site here -->
<?php if (isset($vars['area3'])) echo $vars['area3']; ?><br>
<p align="center"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
/* 160x600, */
google_ad_slot = "XXXXXXX";
google_ad_width = 160;
google_ad_height = 600;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script> </p><br>
</div><!-- /two_column_left_sidebar -->
<!-- main content -->
<div id="two_column_left_sidebar_maincontent">
<script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "XXXXXXXXXXXXX";
/* 728x90, Main_Content */
google_ad_slot = "XXXXXXXX";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>
<?php if (isset($vars['area2'])) echo $vars['area2']; ?>
</div><!-- /two_column_left_sidebar_maincontent -->
However the wire will require seprate placement.
I have made some modifications that help you on adding Google AdSense, and a spot images, and also 4 up to 8 `12x`12 banner ads, check how to add advertisments to Elgg by upgrading to the ads custom-plugin version!
And here is the ads custom-index plugin download page!
