If your WordPress blog uses AdSense, and you love Firefox you will love this plugin. Makes you money and makes the web a better place. When a user downloads and installs Firefox through your referral, we’ll credit your account with up to $1.00 (more details).
Updated version now works with WP-Cache!
Description
AskApache Firefox Adsense is a simple plugin that displays a Firefox AdSense Ad (Google Referrals) on your blog.
The cool thing is that it will only show the ad to users that are not using Firefox, and only to users running Windows. Those are the requirements to getting paid by Google, and it doesn’t show the Ad to the intelligent people already using Firefox (or running linux/non-windows).
Google:
Firefox plus Google Toolbar: When a user you’ve referred to Firefox plus Google Toolbar runs Firefox for the first time, you’ll receive up to US$1 in your account, depending on the user’s location. Your referral must be a Windows user, who has not previously installed Firefox, in order for you to receive credit.

Excellent plugin. I was looking for such a thing for many days. BTW If its not firefox, it displays firefox referral ads, but how to configure so that if its firefox, it can show other ads in place of firefox referral? Can you implement such a feature into it so that we can show optional ads without wasting precious advertising space.

Excellent plugin, thanks! I just replaced the “Get Firefox” code on my site with this and it’s working great.

Hello, I’ve had a user running Slackware and Firefox 2.0.0.4 complain that the advert was running on his machine, is there a known issue with this, or is it possibly a configuration issue on his side?
Thanks,
Wayne

Where within the template would the code go? Top, bottom, where? Can you provide a screenshot of the code in a template. Sounds like a great plug-in.

Missy,
I like mine in the sidebar.
<div id="sidebar"> <h3 style="color:#280">Someone's Reading</h3> <ul><?php last_posts(5,35); ?></ul> <?php if(function_exists('aa_firefox_ad'))aa_firefox_ad();?> </div>09.11.07 at 9:24 pm
Wayne,
I’m pretty new to WordPress so I’m not really sure.. I also noticed I was seeing the ads from a Mac running safari, which is definately not supposed to happen. I’m thinking its either because of a plugin like WP-Cache, or my code is just bad. I’m pretty new to php too. Does this look like it should work?
function aa_firefox_ad(){ $aa_bad=false; $aa_firead_code=''; if(!isset($_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) $aa_bad=true; if(preg_match("/firefox/i", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) $aa_bad=true; if(preg_match("/safari/i", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) $aa_bad=true; if(preg_match("/linux/i", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) $aa_bad=true; if(!preg_match("/windows/i", $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) $aa_bad=true; if(get_option('aa_firead_code')==''){ $aa_bad=true; echo '<!--please setup your firefox adsense code in the admin panel-->'; } else $aa_firead_code = get_option('aa_firead_code'); if($aa_bad===false){ echo $aa_firead_code; } }09.11.07 at 10:05 pm
AskApache, would you try again and see if it’s shown? I’ve disabled WP-Cache for now.

AskApache, please look at my problem too above.

Greetings, I am having a few problems with this plugin, I use WP 2.2.3 and the plugin displays the message for Firefox and IE users, it does not work at all since showing the ads to everyone defeats it’s purpose.

I have actually been meaning to add some referrals for a while now, thanks for the reminder that I need to go do that.
