PUT ADSENSE ON BLOG

The blog of your dreams is
set up and running on a
topic that you have true
passion about. Something
that has stuck with you for
years and you know that
no matter what happens
you will keep blogging on
the subject. You have also
been working tirelessly
connecting with other
bloggers within your niche
and doing regular link
building as well as internet
marketing. As the traffic
roles in and your blog
becomes frequently
discussed within the social
websites you suddenly
realize that if you knew
how to make money online
you could. Well there are
literally thousands of
different legitimate
programs to help you
make money online and
the majority are really
quite easy to set up and
begin earning. Google
AdSense is one of these
programs and if you are
receiving enough traffic to
your blog it is possible to
make quite a bit.
To begin making money
with Google AdSense you
must have a blog up and
running. This means that
you should either have a
blogger blog which you can
start over at blogger.com
or a WordPress blog which
you can start up at
WordPress.com. Both of
these blog platforms offers
free blog management,
domain name, and hosting.
There is a limit to the
amount of bandwidth you
can use, but usually it takes
a lot of traffic before you
reach this limit. If you lack
HTML experience then I
recommend starting a
blogger blog because the
addition of AdSense is
extremely easy. On the
other hand if you have a
decent amount of online
experience it is best to use
WordPress. The main
reason I use WordPress is
the ease at which I can
modify any and all files
adding whatever I want.
The there is also ten times
the amount of add ons for
WordPress compared to
blogger, but without
knowledge of how to
upload and adapt the add
on to your blog all of this
is worthless.
Now to place AdSense on
your blogger blog there are
two ways which you can
proceed. Before you begin
either of these you will
need to create an AdSense
account which means
giving Google your bank
account and social security
information. Do not worry
about fraud Google is one
of the most trusted
companies on the net.
Once you have your
AdSense account go to
your blogger dashboard
where you can see the title
of your blog and click on
optimize. Blogger will ask
you questions about where
you would like the ads
placed on your website.
The second way to add
AdSense on your blog is
going into your AdSense
account and creating an
add. Once your ad is
created they will give you
the HTML all you need to
do is add a text/html
module to your blog and
place the html inside.
Adding AdSense to
WordPress on the other
hand is a little more
difficult. I have found a
way which beginners can
add ads, but for the more
experienced user they will
be able to place AdSense
wherever they would like.
The first way is the same as
blogger you will need to go
into your AdSense account
and create an ad. If you are
planning on placing the ad
in the sidebar of your blog
then a medium box style
ad will work fine. If you are
wanting a banner above
your posts then stick with
the banner style ads.
Create your ad then copy
the HTML which AdSense
gives you after your ads
creation. Head over to your
WordPress dashboard and
add a HTML module then
paste the ad's html within
the module. View your
blog to make sure it turned
out like you wanted.
The final way to add
Google AdSense to your
blog is by actually
modifying the php files.
This can be done either
using a local editor or using
the WordPress dashboard
itself. I will explain how to
modify your WordPress files
so you can add Google
AdSense. First go to your
WordPress dashboard then
appearance then click on
editor. Make sure you are
editing the theme which
you are using. You can put
the ad anywhere you want,
but before you modify any
page you must go to file
zilla and set the file
permissions for the page to
readable, writable, and
executable. Once you have
done this you can modify
the page however you
want then click update on
the bottom of the editor.
Now the problem is every
theme is different so you
will need to test out
different places for the ads.
If you want the ad on your
main template select "main
index template" and add
the code. Update it and see
where you placed the ad
by looking at the page.
Personally I like adding the
AdSense code above posts.
I also like modifying the
"single post" file placing
the AdSense ad in the
same position that I did
with the main index. This
will make the ad stay in the
same position when a
visitor clicks on one of your
posts.
