How to Add Google AdSense Code to Your Site?
Many sign up for Google AdSense and then do not know how to proceed. They contact my help desk seeking help in adding the AdSense Code to the site.
So here are the steps after you sign up for Google AdSense.
Step 1
After you sign up for Google AdSense, you will get a message. It goes something like... thanks for signing up for Google
Adsense. We will get in touch with you in a day or two. (this is not the exact message)
Step 2
Have patience. Google checks your site or blog where you want to add Google AdSense. Google will make sure that your site has
good content worthy of displaying AdSense Ads.
After checking your site Google will send a mail to you. The mail will inform you whether your site has been accepted. And
there will be a link to the Google AdSense site.
It is the same site where you went to sign up for Google AdSense.
Step 3
While signing up you used an email and selected a password. Enter that in the login page.

Step 4
After you login you will get to a page where you can get your AdSense Code.

Click on AdSense Setup.
Step 5
You will see a page like this. Now click on AdSense for Content. Later you can include codes for AdSense
for Search and AdSense Referrals.

Step 6
You can earn through referrals and AdSense for Search also. Here we are talking only about AdSense for Content. You click on
that and get to a page, where you can choose ad type, format, color, etc. First you have to choose the ad type. There are text ads, image ads,
link ads etc.

For the moment keep it simple and just click on Ad unit and continue. You can see a drop down menu next to ad unit which
has more options. At the bottom of the page you will find a button "continue". Click on that.
Step 7
You have chosen ad type. Now you have to choose ad format and colors. There are many options. You can play with
them later. To begin with choose a simple format, blue title, black text and url and insert the code in your blog or site. Later you can change
this as many times as you like.

You will see a sample on the page. Whatever changes you make you will be able to see the change in the
sample.

You can see the sample showing the ad title in blue, the text in black and the url in black. Google also
shows some public service ads, if there are no ads available for the keywords of the content on your site. You do not get paid any money on
public service ads. So there is an option whether you want to show public service ads or not. In this screenshot I have chosen blank space and
chosen the color for that as white.
Now click on continue. (This is only a screenshot. Go to the page where you went to sign up.
Step 8
After you click continue you get a page where you can add a channel. You can add the
title of your site there. You can also have more than one channel for one site.
Step 9
When you click continue in the previous step you will get to the final step. You have to just copy the code (do
not worry you don't have to understand html, java script). Just copy the whole code.
Step 10
Go to your blog or website and add this code in the body of the web page.
It should be after <body>
It should be before </body> - this slant / line in html shows that feature has ended.
If you are using Microsoft Frontpage you can just put aa in the place where you want the ad to be. Click on
Source, find where that aa is, delete it and copy Google Adsense Code. Go back to the page and preview it.
For a Video tutorial on Microsoft Front page go to Courses U Seek website.
Check how the AdSense looks on my site and blogs.
For the websites I use a website builder that makes it very easy to add the AdSense code. I need not add it to each page. I just enter the code
once and it adds it automatically to all pages. I can change the ad format and color just by one click of the mouse.
For blogs I use the new blogger that has page elements and drag and drop facility.
To add it in the blog is very easy. The new blogger has page elements, where you can add AdSense.
If you have problems you know where to contact me.
