How Do I Set Up Adsense?

Q: I have heard a lot about Adsense, how do I set this up?

A: When you create an Adsense campaign, Google allows you to earn money through your website and blog. When someone clicks on one of your ads, you will earn revenue.

Adsense offers several types of campaigns and you can set up a search function that will be displayed on your website as well as a referral program.

For the sake of discussion, let’s discuss Adsense for Content. When you set up this program, Google searches the content of your pages and displays ads that relate to that content.

You can choose the appearance of your ads, by selecting for them to be displayed in a box, also known as an ad unit or have them displayed in links, known as a link unit. You can select the layout size, colors and shape of your ads.

Once the layout and design of your Adsense campaign has been selected, you can create channels. This allows you to receive tracking reports. If you are new to Adsense, you don’t have to worry about setting them up immediately.

Once you have selected all of the criteria for your ads, Adsense will provide you with a JavaScript that you can copy and paste onto your webpage or blog. If you use Blogger which is owned by Google, they provide an integration tool you can use. With this tool, you don’t have to copy and paste anything and can select the campaign’s style, layout and colors right from Blogger.
