How to Make More Copies of this module
You may not be satisfied with only one ad block on your site, right? You will probably want to add more. Here's how:
Do not try to install it repeatedly as that is not possible and not necessary. Open the list of all modules in your Joomla admin backend ("Modules > Site Modules" in Joomla 1.0 and "Extensions > Module Manager" in Joomla 1.5). Check the box to the left of the Joomlaspan AdSense module, titled as "Sponsored Links". Then go to the top of the page and click on the 'Copy' button on the right top. A copy of the module will be created and placed under the previous. It will read 'Copy of...'.
Now open that and change the parameters. All parameters can be configured afresh, including the position and size of ads.
You can make as many copies as you want, but please remember that only three Google AdSense ad units and three link units are allowed per page.
