Adsense Guide | What is Adsense and how do you use it?

This will be the practical primer. Exactly what Google does behind the scenes is probably unknowable, and it doesn't really matter. If you are new to Adsense then i reccomend you read googles own guide at Adsesne Guide.

What counts is how you can use Adsense to make money on your own websites. The first step is sign up for an account. If you’re reading this guide, you probably already have. If you haven’t, it is easy.

Do the following:

1. Go to and click the Advertising Programs link under the search box.
2. You’ll see the Google Adsense link on the right. Click it.
3. Click the Click Here to Apply button and follow the step-by-step instructions.

Providing a Web Site Address

Google will review the web site address you provide for compliance with the content policies of the AdSense program (see https://www.google.com/adsense/policies for more information about AdSense policies). It is not unusual for Google to reject web sites for noncompliance with content provisions of the AdSense policies; the prohibitions range from excessive advertising content through adult content, content about hacking, and content using excessive profanity.

It is permissible (and often done) to use one Google AdSense account across multiple web addresses. If you are maintaining half a dozen sites, it is easier to work with a single AdSense account than to keep up with statistics, adsense channels and adsense earnings on multiple accounts ( more on monitoring your adsense satistics ).

This leads to the possible scenario of submitting one URL for acceptance into the program and eventually placing AdSense ads on noncompliant sites. You could probably get away with doing this for a while, but it is a bad idea. If you are caught, Google will most likely terminate your entire account.

The best approach is to apply for a separate account for any web site with questionable content. That way, you are aboveboard. If Google accepts the account application, it can have no beef with you because of the content. If Google rejects the application, then you'll need to work with one of the less squeamish vendors mentioned in Adsense Alternatives.

That’s all there is to it. Once you’re signed up, you’ll be able to log into your account and choose the Adsense Setup tab.

From there, you can set up your Adsense ads the way you want to, and we’ll be covering that in more detail later.

Setting up the ads is not as hard as it may sound, although it does require a little bit of HTML copying and pasting.

For example, when you choose to set up Adsense for content which is what we will spend most of our time on in this guide. Google will walk you through a wizard to get that done (to choose colours, ad size, etc.) At the end of that process, Google generates HTML adsense code for you which you can copy and paste into you web page.

It looks something like this:

    <script type="text/javascript"><!--
google_ad_client = "pub-45455162627";
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
google_ad_format = "728x90_as";
google_ad_type = "text";
//2007-07-05: ADSENSE CHANNEL
google_ad_channel = "8977562712";
google_color_border = "B4C48D";
google_color_bg = "B4C48D";
google_color_link = "ffffff";
google_color_text = "000001";
google_color_url = "999999";
//-->
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
  src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

Putting that code on your page tells Google everything it needs to know to display context-driven ads on your page. You don’t need to worry about the technical details. Instead, you need to focus on creating a site which displays Adsense ads effectively, which means in a way that increases your odds of getting a high click-through rate (CTR) on those ads, and a good cost per click (CPC).

Wait a minute! What is this cost stuff?

Don’t worry. The CPC is what the advertiser pays, not you. On the flip side, an advertiser’s CPC is what Google gets paid. You get a cut of Google is fee, so a higher CPC means your pay goes up. Google for things related to Adsense and you’ll find more information than you can imagine. Some of it is complete junk. Some if it might be helpful, but there is so much of it that it is tough to do anything useful with what you find and I can make one claim with absolute confidence. When it comes to using Adsense, there are three kinds of people that are making adsense income:

• Those who don’t make a dime with it
• Those who make a little bit by including it on sites designed for another purpose
• Those who make a killing

That last category is probably the one you want to be in. If not then you really dont need to be reading this guide. For those that do, contiune reading the atricles to the left and below! Our Adsense tips and Adsense strategies are listed below.
