Insert AdSense Ads Automatically in Drupal Nodes and Teaser Lists

Now you can Insert AdSense Ads Automatically in Drupal Nodes and Teaser Lists. Mike has write a module that tweaks a node's body or teaser to insert an inline AdSense ad, when a node is rendered on a full page or teaser list.

This is a powerfull AdSense Module. You can enable/disable the inserted AdSense with just a click of the mouse without need to edit each node.
