Regulate Google Adsense Display Using WordPress Conditional Tag

Am not a fan of long articles, so am going to make this post on how to display adsense or affiliate link on specified location when certain condition is true or false using wordpress conditional tag and PHP conditional statement short and comprehensible as possible.
Have you found yourself a situation where you will like to display your adsense or any AD in a desire location but couldn’t figure it out.
Take for example: i do use a plugin called AD injection to display Adsense to my blog, with the plugin, you can place adsense or affiliate link in vary positions as specified in the plugin.
There came a time when i decided to display an adsense leaderboard unit at the top of my blog but i wanted the leaderboard adsense to display everywhere except on post page(is_single) i.e when a post is being viewed. i overcame this problem using wordpress conditional tag combine with PHP conditional statement.

We are going to make use of the three below conditional tag in this tutorial :-

• is_home() – When the main blog page(homepage) is being display.
• is_single() – When a single post (either attachment or custom post) page is being display. This is false for pages.
• is_page() – When a page is being display.
