Ideally, I'd like to be able to customize how often the ads appear. I like the low-key approach you've taken so far, and wouldn't want them appearing too often. But I would like to be able to break up some of the ListPages output with adsense.
Perhaps using custom format.
I don't really understand that, though, so I can't help more than to lead somebody else in the right direction.
I imagine you could use custom format to put an adsense module in between Every post, by embedding the adsense module into the Listpages module. But that's way too ad-saturated. I'm looking for something that only breaks the listpages output rarely.
I'm fairly certain this feature doesn't exist yet, and would need to be worked on.
Thanks though =)
I suppose AdSense TOS imposes a limit on the number of ads you can display on a page (like 4-5).
If it were to be implemented, I could see using something like
[[module ListPages blah, blah breaklist="X"]]
//custom layout
====
//content to be inserted after X items are displayed before the listing continues
[[/module]]
It'd be useful for more than just adsense custom modules too. If you want to promote content in your site or the like, that would be a good way to do it.

If you don't mind that
- it doesn't look nice and
- you would have to play with perPage="…" and limit="…" to get all pages of a category displayed,
you could do something similar to what is shown on http://sandbox-old.wikidot.com/module-listpages-with-breaks
The looks are kind of a problem for me on that mark. But you did get me thinking of another solution.
I'll create a page in my blog category every 15 or so posts that contains the custom adsense module for display. It won't break in the middle of the page all the time, but it should work to break up the posts a little.
I would still like to see a formal break function someday though.
Thanks socks and Erich.
