Making money online via Google Adsense could sometimes backfire without warning. Some of us are already aware of Google’s smart pricing which is simply a reduction in CPC on ads shown on blogs displaying Google Adsense with a dismal CTR (click-through-rate).

To avoid this smart pricing of a thing, bloggers/webmasters have resorted to showing Adsense ads ONLY to search engine visitors as studies have shown beyond reasonable doubt that regular visitors don’t click on ads. Rather search engine visitors do.

There are plug-ins and codes to achieve this but most of them don’t work with cache plug-ins which are required to speedup wordpress blog load times. A work around using JavaScript has been developed for blogger blogs but is surprisingly valid for wordpress blogs too.

This tutorial is based on how I got Stephen Cronin’s hack/code to work on my blog with W3 Total Cache installed.
