Google Adsense is widely popular among the blog industry. Everybody is blogging, but the real challenge is setting up the ads in a WordPress blog. Here are three simple steps to post an ad in to your blog.
1. Login as Admin to your blog
- Click on Posts menu and select a page to insert Ads
- Select HTML view for inserting google Ad javascript code. Leave an empty line above and below the <script>… </script> tags
- To add the Ad beside the blog image: Add <table><tr><td>Ad script or blog image</td><td>Ad script or blog image</td></tr></table>
2. Login to AdSense to create an ad
- Under AdSense Setup, identify the content type and subject for which you need the ad
- Click AdSense for Content to select ad type
- Decide the place where you want to show the Ad on blog
- Just after the heading of blog => rectangular image or text 700 X 15
- In the middle => rectangular preferably text with multiple columns may be 4 or 5
- Next to a image => square 300 X 200
- Select Ad Unit. You can experiment with Link Unit also
- Select Size horizontal or vertical and so on
- Add five subject categories related to the blog contents
- Give a name to the ad and generate javascript
- Copy the javascript from the text box
3. Go back to the blog contents and paste the javascript
- Save and Update and Publish the blog
- See the blog and make sure you have the correct ads appearing
- Click back to Manage Ads and edit if needed
If the ads are not to your expectation or want to change any categories you can go to AdSense and make the changes without copying and pasting the javascript again.
The AdSense is smart enough to post the ads according to the changes you make there without copying and pasting the javascript. Happy advertising and happy blogging with Adsense. 🙂
