2 things...
1. If you don't qualify that you only want the article to be displayed on the full article page, you'll violate Google's terms of only displaying 3 ad blocks on a page. The same template that is used for the full article page is used for the module index.
Here's the code I'm using on one of my sites.
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="item">
<tr>
<td>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="98%">
<tr>
<td class="itemHead"><span class="itemTitle"><{$story.title}>span>td>
tr>
<tr>
<td class="itemInfo"><{if $story.files_attached}><{$story.attached_link}> <{/if}><{if $story.poster != ''}><span class="itemPoster"><{$lang_postedby}> <{$story.poster}>span><{/if}> <span class="itemPostDate"><{$lang_on}> <{$story.posttime}>span> (<span class="itemStats"><{$story.hits}> <{$lang_reads}>span>) <{$news_by_the_same_author_link}>td>
tr>
<tr>
<td>[b]<{if $SCRIPT_NAME != '/modules/news/index.php'}><div class="gads">div><{/if}>[/b]<div class="itemBody"><{$story.imglink}><p class="itemText"><{$story.text}>p>div>td>
tr>
<tr>
<td class="itemFoot"><span class="itemAdminLink"><{$story.adminlink}>span><{if $rates}><b><{$lang_ratingc}>b> <{$story.rating}> (<{$story.votes}>) - <a href="<{$xoops_url}>/modules/news/ratenews.php?storyid=<{$story.id}>" rel="nofollow"><{$lang_ratethisnews}>a> - <{/if}><span class="itemPermaLink"><{$story.morelink}>span>td>
tr>
table>
td>
tr>
table>
Instead of putting the CSS inline, I did class="gads" and created the .gads definition in my style.css file.
2. If you're just adding Adsense to your site, it may take a day or two even for the public service ads to 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.
