The process has two steps: Create an AdSense account, start displaying ads on your website and get paid for clicks on your ads.How to Create an AdSense Account[/p] <br/> Step 1 – Create an Account with Google AdSense [/p]The first step is to go to the Google AdSense website and create an account. Your AdSense account is associated with a Google Account like the one you use to login to Gmail, youtube, etc. <br/>Step 2 – Add Adsense ads to your [/p]website Before being accepted to the program, Google needs to check that your website adheres to the AdSense guidelines. To pass this step, you need to add AdSense code to your site so that the Google crawler can access your website’s content.This is a very important step because as we will see below there are cases that your application may not be accepted.During this step and until you are fully approved, AdSense ads are not shown to your website but they are hidden by default. If your application is accepted, ads will start to show and you will get paid for the clicks.Have in mind that this is a once-off process since after you are accepted as an AdSense publisher, you can run AdSense on any website you want (provided of course that it is not violating any AdSense rules).<br/> Step 3 – Set up your payment information [/p]The next and final process in the application process is to add your payment information so that you receive payment and the end of the month and once you passed the minimum threshold of $100. Please note that before receiving any money from Adsense, Google will verify your postal address by sending you an envelope with a confirmation code so make sure that the details you provide for your postal address are correct.Start Displaying Ads on your Site Once you are accepted into the program, the next step is to add the AdSense code to your website. This is the same step as above but now that your account is verified, you can choose where you want the ads to appear.You have two options: Let Google decide when and where to show ads or choose the exact places where the ads will be shown. Let Google Place Ads for You (Auto Ads) If you go with this option, all you have to do is add the AdSense code to your website (once) and Google will automatically show ads in the best possible places.This is currently the recommended method to add ads to your website.Google AdSense Auto Ads Click Get Code and copy the given script in the <HEAD> tags on the pages you want to show Google Ads.Create Custom Ad Units If you don’t want to go with Auto Ads, the other option is to create custom ad units and add the code in the exact places you want the ads to appear on your site. Click by ad unit, and select what kind of ad units to create.Google AdSense Custom Ads When creating an ad unit you will select the size (for example responsive ads, 336×280), type(text and display ads, matched content, in-article ads, in-feed ads), style (text and border colors) and then you will be given a code (javascript) to add in your website where you want the particular ad to appear.In the space provided Google may decide to show 1 or more ads.<br/> <br/> [h2]How many AdSense ads can you show per page?[/h2] <br/> [p>In the past, you were allowed to show up to 3 AdSense units per page but this rule is no longer valid. You can show as many ads you have per page, provided that they do not interfere with the user experience.[/p] [br/] [h2]Where should I place my ads?[/h2] [br/] [p]The general rule is to place the ads where they can be seen by your visitors but without violating any AdSense or google webmaster quality guidelines.[/p] You can use these simple rules: [br/]Place 1 ad unit above the fold in the main content of the website (not in the sidebar)
Place 1 ad unit in the sidebar. The 160×600 is very good for placing in the sidebar [br/]Place 1 ad unit at the end of your page or article (preferably in the main content area)
