Google Officially Release Google Publisher Plugin (beta) for WordPress Users

Congratulations WordPress blog users that Google developers have officially announced the Google Publisher Plugin (beta) for WordPress users. In this way, I thought to review that great WordPress plugin for AdSense publishers.

First of all, let me tell you that from now you don’t need to locate your Google AdSense JavaScript codes in your WordPress templates files, widget areas, etc. After all the official Google Publisher Plugin (beta) will do this task for you within a couple of clicks.
