We do run Google advertising on individual posts (called Itempages in Blogspot jargon) and Archive webpages but not on the frontpage. Implementing this style of advertising in your Blogspot blog is easy though it helps if you know a bit about editing Blogger Templates and Template Tags.
Here's a snippet of the HTML code from our Blogger Adsense template that will help you display Adsense Ads only on Itempages but not on the Mainpage. This template will also convert your blog post titles into hyperlinks only on the homepage and archives but the titles will continue to appear as static text in individual post pages.
<MainOrArchivePage>
<Blogger> <BlogDateHeader>
<h2 class="date-header"><$BlogDateHeaderDate$></h2> </BlogDateHeader>
<a name="<$BlogItemNumber$>"></a> <BlogItemTitle><BlogItemUrl><a href="<$BlogItemUrl$>"> </BlogItemUrl>
<h3><a href="<$BlogItemPermalinkURL$>"><$BlogItemTitle$></a></h3>
<BlogItemUrl></a></BlogItemUrl> </BlogItemTitle>
<$BlogItemBody$>
</Blogger>
</MainOrArchivePage>
<ItemPage><Blogger><BlogDateHeader>
<h2 class="date-header"><$BlogDateHeaderDate$></h2> </BlogDateHeader>
<div class="post"><a name="<$BlogItemNumber$>"></a> <BlogItemTitle><BlogItemUrl><a href="<$BlogItemUrl$>"> </BlogItemUrl>
<h3><$BlogItemTitle$></h3>
<BlogItemUrl></a></BlogItemUrl> </BlogItemTitle>
===== Google Ad Code goes here ======
<$BlogItemBody$>
</Blogger>
</ItemPage>
The above HTML code is written for the classic Blogger template. If you have upgraded to the drag-n-drop layout templates of new Blogger, the code may require some adjustments but the basic implementation principle would stay the same.

Thanks again for sharing.

Hi Amit, I was wondering if you can help me with something :) I have updated to blogger-beta and my blog is using the drag-n-drop adsense method (which I find to be a little buggish at the time). There is no option to specify a particular channel for a particular ad-unit. Although, its a breeze to edit the colours or the publisher id, I still haven't been able to specify a custom channel for my ad units. For the time being, I'm using url-channels in adsense, but in my view they aren't as accurate as custom channels. So, any suggestions?

Hi Amit,
In response to Atunu's comment above :
Add the adsense code in a Html/Javascript Page Element so you can include the channel code also. Full details here :

Amit,
Can you guide me as to where should I add the above code?
