You Can't Put Adsense Ads Within Posts.
This is one of the limitations using a built-in Adsense gadget, you cannot place your ads within your post. You can only put them before, after between posts and in the sidebars. But not on your actual post.

Can't Use Channels.
In a Adsense gadget you can't use channels to track the performance of your ad units.
