How To Put Google Ads On Your Blog

There are many ways to monetize your Blogger site.  There are affiliate programs available through Google and Amazon.  However, the first, easiest step you want to take is to take advantage of Google Adsense.  Adsense is a pay per click process, while many affiliate programs pay per product purchased via your site.  Here is a step by step approach to starting and using Adsense:

1) When you log into Blogger, click on the blog you want to monetize.  Then, click the Monetize tab.  If you do not already have an Adsense account, the Monetizing page will offer you a link to set one up.
2) If you don't use Blogger, go to www.google.com/adsense to setup your account.  

3) Once you have setup your account, Adsense will take around 48 hours to review your request.  Google screens each Adsense application to ensure that they are legitimate and running their site within the Adsense terms and conditions.  

4) When your account has been activated, you will be able to place and view the adds on your website or blog.  

I'll discuss ad placement in my next blog.  If this article helped you out, don't forget to Follow my blog, clicking the Follow This Site button in the upper right hand corner of the page.

  1. Notes to the reader:

    - Blogger has changed it's interface, so the link to monetize is under the "Stats" tab,

    - If you do not have a Blogger blog, you can still monetize through Google Adsense. Just go to www.google.com/adsense and sign up for an account, which is free. The process is different than if using Blogger ... not as user-friendly. I would suggest going to this Google q&a: http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/adsense/1OStj4gOtno
