How to Add an Adsense Link
Okay, for those of you who are old pros at this, you're probably
thinking, how can this chick write a whole article on how to add an Adsense
link to your web page? I mean, come on. It takes virtually two seconds. Well,
actually, it's more like a split second. However, there really is more to
adding an Adsense link to your web page than you realize. Sure, if you're an
old pro, it's a piece of cake. But for those who have never done it, there are
a few things that you'll want to know. This
article will go over those few things.
The first thing you have to be aware of is
that Adsense has some very strict rules about adding links to your page. For
starters, you can only add three blocks of links to any one web page. Adding
more than that will be in violation of their terms of service. And besides, it
won't matter anyway as they will only show the first three links that they find
on the page. So play by their rules and you'll be fine.
Another thing you have to understand about adding Adsense links, or more
correctly, Adsense code, is that Adsense gives you quite a few options as to
what kind of links to add. You can add single ad links, or blocks of three ads,
or banners, or a number of combinations. So before you even go about heading over
to the Adsense site to create your Adsense code, you better take a good long
look at the format of your web page, see what kind of space you have available,
and choose your links accordingly. For example, if you want to place an Adsense
block in the middle of an article, which is a very effective method, you don't
want to place a banner there. It will not look professional at all. Probably
a block of three text ads will be more appropriate.
The Adsense site itself is very easy to
follow as far as creating your link. Simply log into your account and go to
Adsense setup. If you are thinking about putting Adsense links on your content
site, then choose Adsense for content. You'll then be given the choice between
ad units and text units. You probably want to choose
ad units as they give more options. Finally, you'll be given a number of
formats to choose from, which you can view on their formats page. Just choose
the format you want and then when you're done, you'll be given your Adsense
code, which you simply copy and paste onto your web page in the spot you want
it to appear.
The process is actually very simple. The
hard part is getting people to your site, which is a topic best left for
another time. The key with adding an Adsense
link is placement. The best places are at the
top, middle and bottom of each web page. This
way you have three shots at getting somebody to click on your ads.
Adding an Adsense link is not rocket science. Making an income from it is a
totally different story.
