After reading this article, you’ll understand the basics of Google AdSense and how to install on your website.
Google AdSense Basics
Google AdSense is an advertisement platform where online advertisers bid for your ad space. The ads are screened to ensure high quality and relevant ads. You can customize where ads appear and which types best fit your site.
Getting Started with Google AdSense
The Sign Up process for Google AdSense is straightforward. Before you visit the Get Started page, ensure you have a Google Account, phone number, and postal address. You will also need to be prepared to choose between Individual and Business account types.
The last step of the sign up process is to connect your site to Google AdSense. Paste the one line of code between the <head> and </head> tags within the HTML of your website. Or, if you’re a WordPress user, there is further help documentation using the Site Kit by Google plug-in to simplify this process.
Whether you paste the line of code in your HTML or follow the instructions for the Site Kit by Google WordPress plug-in, the final step is to check the box titled “I’ve pasted the code into my site.” This should popup a dialog box stating that the code was found.
That’s all you need to get started. Google usually takes a few days to review your site before you’re ready to start using Google AdSense.
