Why You Would Want to Use AdSense on WordPress

Google AdSense is one of the most popular ad networks, and for good reasons. It’s free to use, easy to set up, and has a large network of advertisers that can help you monetize your website.

Now that we have covered the basics, let’s get started on how to add Google AdSense ads to WordPress!

Getting Started

If you have the right tools, it’s easy to start running Google AdSense on your WordPress site. Here’s how to get started:

Step 1: Create An Adsense Account

If you have a Gmail account, you already have a Google Adsense account. However, if you do not have a Gmail account, you will need to sign up for a Google account before creating a Google Adsense account. To sign up for Google Adsense Click Get Started in the top right corner of Adsense Page here.

If you already having a Google Account you can enter your email and password here or you can signup a new account by filling the details.

Step 2: Add Your Site To Google Adsense

In order to display Google Adsense ads on your website, you will need to submit the site for approval. You can do this by following these steps:

In your Adsense account’s side menu, click Sites.

On the next page, click Add Site.

Now enter the URL of the site where you want to display ads.

Click Save and continue.

On the next page, copy your site’s unique Adsense tracking code.

You’ll need to Copy the Adsense code before clicking Request Review.

Step 3: Add Google Adsense Code To Your Site

• Install the Google Site Kit plugin on your WordPress site and activate it. You can find this plugin in the official WordPress repository by searching for “Google Site Kit” in plugins page in WordPress Dashboard or go directly here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/google-site-kit/.
• After you’ve installed the plugin, click Activate.
• Click Start Setup and then follow the steps to set up Site Kit.
• After you’ve completed the setup, click Connect Service under “AdSense”. You can find this on the Site Kit dashboard or “Settings” tab.
• Google Site Kit will automatically add Adsense code to your website.
• Configure settings like which types of ads should display on each page, what ad size(s) should be used, etc., as well as enable individual post-level targeting if desired, can be done in Adsense account. This will vary depending on what kind of content is hosted on your site – ecommerce sites may want fewer visual distractions than editorial blogs might need while still maximizing revenue potential through niche interest targeting.

Choosing the Correct Ad Type

You have three ad types to choose from: text ads, image ads, and video ads. Text and image ads are the most common ad types on WordPress sites. Video ads are generally used for entertainment or news sites, which often have high video views but low engagement time (how long users stay on those pages).

The type of ad you use should be based on your site’s content and goals. For example if your website is about travel tips then an image ad would be a good fit because it allows you to show images of destinations instead of just text snippets. If you’re trying to sell something through your site then using a longer format like video would be more effective as well as cost effective since it requires fewer clicks per impression compared to a smaller square area where only one word can be displayed at once without taking up too much space.”

Setting Up Multiple Ad Sizes

You can also add multiple ad sizes to your site, but it’s not as simple as just adding one or two. You need to create sets of ads and set up a rule for each size—when you create an ad in an existing set, all the other sizes in that set will be pulled.

Here’s how:

• In the AdSense dashboard, click on “Sets” on the left side of your screen and select “Create new set” at the top right of the page.
• To add a new size to an existing set, click on “Add another size” after selecting your desired AdSense type (text link or banner). Alternatively…
• You can choose “New Size” when creating a new set instead of adding an additional size to an existing one because Google only allows one image per format; however, if you’re working with multiple shapes/colors then you’ll want this option instead because they don’t count towards space limitations either!

Where to Place Google Ads on Your Site

While Google AdSense ads can be displayed on any page of your site, there are several areas that work particularly well.

• Google Ads work best in the sidebar or top of content area (top and bottom of page)
• Google Ads can appear anywhere on the page, although keeping them away from your main content area increases their effectiveness

How Much You get Paid for Google Ads?

With Google Ads, you are paid on a cost-per-click (CPC) basis. The more ads you place and the more traffic you get, the more money you will make. It is also important to make sure that your content is engaging so people will want to click on an ad. Google Ads may not be ideal for every site owner and each situation is unique that requires careful consideration before deciding whether or not to use them. If you’re considering using AdSense on your site, here are some tips:

• Make sure your content is engaging and relevant
• Place multiple ad units across the page in order to increase revenue
• Choose which types of ads should be displayed based off of what works best for each individual page
