With Smartsection, I use the following custom template for the smartsection_item.html template. You can see a live demo
HEREle="color: #000000"><?php <{include file='db:smartsection_header.html'}> <div class="item"> <{if $display_whowhen_link}> <div class="itemInfo"> <span class="itemPoster"> <div class="smartsection_item_head_who"> <{$item.who_when}> (<{$item.counter}> <{$lang_reads}>) </div> </span> </div> <{/if}> <div class="itemBody"> <{if $pagenav}> <div class="smartsection_pagenav_top"><{$lang_page}>: <{$pagenav}></div> <{/if}> <div class="itemText"> <div class="gads"><script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-5538796211688403";

In my style.css, I define the following class to make the text wrap around the Google ad.
le="color: #000000"><?php .gads { margin: 0 0 0 4px; float: right; }
Keep in mind that Google only allows 3 ad blocks per page. If you go over that limit, none or only some of your ads will display. Also, until Google spiders your site, you will most likely get a blank space where the ad should show up.
HTH.

Insanity can be defined as "doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results."
Stupidity is not a crime. Therefore, you are free to go.
