Is it possible to display ADS on first three posts on archive page?

[wparrow]

Hi,
To increase the click though rate, I want display ADS via archive page at "genesis_before_entry" position but for first three posts only.
The code should be.

If is category
Count the post
If posts < 4
Display ADS
End if
End if

I tried to write the code like below, but it does not work. Could you please help me correct it?

<?php if (is_category()) {
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $count = 0; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php $count++; ?>
  <?php if ($count == 4) : ?>
<?php echo "This is the ads"; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
} ?>

I placed the code at "genesis_before_entry" in Genesis Simple Hook but it does not work

Thanks for your help!
TOM

Why not just insert your 'AD' code into 'Archive Intro'?

That way it will always show first and you can show as many as you like via column classes.

Thanks jchai for notify me about column class. I will add ADS on archive intro as well.
