4. Add the following code where you'd like to display your adsense ads.
   

   <?php
   if (strcmp( date("Y-m-d", strtotime("-5 day")), get_the_time("Y-m-d") ) > 0) {
   ?>
   #Replace this line with your adsense code#
   <?php
   }
   ?>
   



5. In the above code, replace the #commented line with your adsense code (See High Paid Adsense Ad Formats). Also don't forget to replace the digit "5" with your desired number (number of old days).
   

That's it! From now on, Adsense ads will not appear on your new posts and will only visible to visitors who landed on posts older than 5 days (as per our above example)
