Question

I know this questions has been asked a few times here. But these seem fairly outdated, and it looks like the Adsense for Ajax project has been canned (or at the very least, moving very slowly).

I have a web site that I’ve recently integrated pjax into — basically, it uses Ajax to load the just the main content area, while maintaining the browser history and back/forward functionality using javascript’s history.pushState.It has made a world of difference in how responsive the whole site is, as it no longer has to do HTTP requests for all of the outer shell of the site (javascript, css, images).

But Adsense just won’t work with Ajax — at least not natively. I’ve read about iFrame solutions, but it sounds like iFrames and Ajax and my pjax solution won’t play together well.

What I’m doing is not devious, as far as Adsense usage goes. I’m still just showing one set of ads per page navigation as users click links. It’s just not doing a full page-level HTTP request.

Are there any options out there? Has anybody done something like this? Or, does anybody know of any updates to the Adsense for Ajax project?

I need to get this figured out. If I can’t, I may chose the pjax over the Adsense, which means my whole business plan will have to be rehashed. Ugh.

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

FYI, I reached out to Google, and received the following response:

At this point, we do not have a product that works with AJAX sites or
sites containing other dynamic content. This is something we’re actively
looking to build out, but I cannot provide more information or a timeline
at this point.

While it’s fairly vague (which I expected), it at least shows that they recognize the need, and are not completely ignoring it.

Thanks to all for your responses.
