Show Ads or Other Content in Only First 3 Posts

Advertising may require you to limit the number of advertisements on your page to three. For some, this is three too many. For others, it’s far too few. Still others feel that it’s just the right amount.

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

	<?php if ($wp_query->current_post < 3) { ?>

	<!-- any content here will be displayed only in first three posts -->

	<?php } ?>

<?php endwhile; else: ?>
<?php endif; ?>
