What is the easiest way to add Google AdSense to a WordPress site

There are plenty of ways you can add Google Adsense on your WordPress website. You can simply add the code to a text widget and drag it to a widgetized area of your blog (usually the sidebar or footer). You can also manually add the code in the header.php footer.php or if you feel comfortable with the code.

Each of the methods have their drawbacks. The first method using the text widget, the limits where you can post your ads. The second method can be difficult for the new user of WordPress, as well of having to edit the theme files, which are also likely to have to use a CSS code to place ads.

My favorite method is a plugin. There are plenty of Adsense plugins out there, but it is so simple, it's almost "rookie" test.

The first step is to register with Google AdSense in: https://www.google.com/adsense

Keep in mind that you want your site in good condition and have a decent amount of content on it before applying. I certainly not apply less than 10 messages. Note that the minimum.

Once accepted, you can build and choose their style of ads. Supply is used Adsense tools to create the look of the ads you want. They have a great support system for help. For the purposes of this article, however, we will assume that they have built their ads and receive your code.

Once signed with Google Adsense and make your code, then download the WordPress plugin: Advertising Management. Can be found by searching the Plugins in your WordPress back office. Make sure that is titled exactly that, however, lies under the same name but plugins "Advertising Management" is one that is looking for.

Once installed, this plugin will be displayed in the Settings menu of WordPress. Click this and you will be taken to a page that has eight different fields. Each of these fields refers to a different part of your blog. If Google Adsense stick (or other ad networks) of the code in these fields your ads automatically appear in that area of your blog.

The fields are:

Below Front Page Post Titles - This means your ads will be displayed under the title of the posts on the first page. Be careful with this option because if you have a lot of messages on the home page that can break the rules of Google in the number of ad units.

Below the title in the post - This is one of my favorite places. Your ads will be placed under the title when someone opens your message. This is great because you do not have to worry about too many ads appear at once.

Next Note When Open - Another Place I usually use. This will place an advertisement below their post (comments), when the message is open. I often use this with the previous one.

Under the title of the page - these are all self explanatory - it will show an ad under the title of your static pages. It's great if you want your ads in more than jobs.

Below Content Page - Same After the field below, this will add an announcement after the contents of the page.

The following comments Boxes - If you get a lot comment, that means the comment area of the site is widely regarded. You can monetize area paste the code in this field.

Above Header / Footer Down - These two respective tables add your ad at the top of your site, or the bottom. I do not use the foot too often, but over the head may be good to use as it could be the first thing to do.

Once you have chosen in which to display their ads, click save changes and it will appear. This is by far the easiest way to add videos from Google ads on your WordPress blog.
