Hello Rosalind,
I followed your steps from your book in putting the Google Adsense on my blog, but, nothing is showing up. I am not sure if I am putting the code in the correct spot. Is there a specific place it has to go on the sidebar? I am using WordPress.
Thank you for a reply. |

Depending on the theme you are using, there should be sections in sidebar.php that look something like:
<h1 class="menu">Categories</h1>
You can copy and paste the AdSense code outside any one of those areas where you want it to show up. Make sure you edit sidebar.php in a plain text editor and transfer it in ASCII mode, unless you are editing it online in the Theme editor.
There is another way to get the code right where you want it by using Widgets to design your sidebar. With those however, you need one additional plugin: inline-javascript
Once inline-javascript is installed and activated, you can add a Text widget to your sidebar. You then edit that and paste the AdSense code into it. Drag that widget to any position in the sidebar that you want it to display. After saving your changes, preview your site.
To put AdSense in your pages and articles, get the AdSense Deluxe plugin and put your AdSense code into it. Once you create that, you will see the code to put into your article.
Hope that helps. |

That is all explained in the Google AdSense control panel. Deciphering the code is usually not necessary, since it is all built online. Create a Google account, log into the AdSense section and start building campaigns. You will see how the code is put together using the choices you make. |

| Sometimes it may be easier to hire someone to install the code. I've used contractors who will do quick modes and add coding as low as $25. |

That is true and probably one area I am overlooking with available services. Since it is so quick and easy for experienced coders to add the JavaScript, it would take a short amount of time to put it in place.
How you add the code, or have it added, depends on whether you work with widgets, or will have a set sidebar that will rarely change. Some of my sites use widgets, while others do not. It depends on how much development I would be doing with each one, such as adding sections that require JavaScript or other code.
Twitter and MyBlogLog are just 2 examples that can be used in widgets because changing or deactivating them later would otherwise require editing the PHP code again. Since that involves using Notepad (or other text editor) and an FTP program, not everyone is familiar with the coding and could easily break it. That is why widgets are so popular and useful. |
