Well after you have signed up for AdSense all you’ll need to do is wait for a day or two for your site to be approved and you’ll be ready to roll on. AdSense have become popular because almost everyone can sign up for it. So, even if you have a blog registered from the free services like Blogger, Wordpress.com you can simply go ahead, sign up for Google AdSense and pop-in AdSense ads on your blogs.

For blogger blogs, AdSense can also be embedded via an AdSense widget. It makes it easy to insert AdSense without much technicality. Well, if you want to insert AdSense dynamically in your blog editing the template and not from the template, you might have to do a bit of more work. If you are familiar with HTML and XML, you might go ahead edit your template inserting the AdSense javascript snippet, save it and open up your site optimistically to see AdSense ads. But AdSense won’t appear just that easy. The javascript code needs to be parsed in order to harmonize with the template code of your blogger that is in XML format. Well that is easy, you can find a handful of online parsers on the web. Just paste your AdSense code and copy the output that will be parsed for you. Now, paste this thing in your template correctly, following the XML rules and you’ll see AdSense ads on your blog shortly after you save it. Well don’t try this for Wordpress blogs. If you own a wordpress blog, just copy and paste the exact code given by AdSense.

You can test AdSense on your Wordpress blog or blogger blog, placing them in varied ways to convince yourself that they look good. But each time you refresh the page, your ads make an impression, it will be counted in your AdSense account. Google won’t entertain such impressions that are made successively from a single IP. In such a case you can use an AdSense_adtest = “on” code somewhere in your AdSense code so that such impressions won’t be counted. But the impressions made by your visitors also won’t be counted and you won’t be making any income from AdSense. Well you can also test AdSense on your Wordpress blogs the correct way without losing any genuine clicks from the visitors and also turning on the adtest option when you are viewing your blog as the admin. For blogger blogs, you cannot have such advanced options but you can do it manually before placing ads and then remove the AdSense_adtest = “on” code.

So, you can embed AdSense on your Wordpress or Blogger blogs, test them varying their placements and make money on the go.

AdSense comes from the top internet company, Google and is often called Google AdSense. It was introduced in June 2003 and has been very popular among publishers who have desire to earn money. Publishers in this context refer to those who are publishing the Google AdSense advertisement on their website or blog. So if you opt for AdSense ads for your website or Blog then you are the AdSense publisher. Another part Advertiser is that if you are displaying the ads through the AdSense ads but that comes with different program from the same company (Google) namely AdWords. And now that’s different story again.

Well, AdSense is an advertising program that publishers (see above) use to display advertisements on their website or blog in accordance to their content and make Money. Why we focus more with the term “content” here is really because AdSense Ads come with the type of content you have, or put it simply “AdSense is contextual advertising”. Ads that are displayed on your website’s specific page depend upon the content that you have on the page. For instance, if you have Blogger information on your blog’s page then its more likely that you have ads related to blogger on your page. But sometimes what happens is the software thing of Google can’t exactly determine the type of the context on your page or may not simply have the ads related to your content and thus the ads are not relevant. This also happens frequently if you don’t have content on your page. But it’s really essential that you have Ads according to the content of your page in order to make some bucks using this program.

Now, the AdSense program should not sound confusing if you are willing to make some money online; this is one of those programs that can really help you. But if you also want to know if it makes some sense using AdSense or the reason why I am saying its worth to give it a try, you can read the below sub topics of why to use AdSense and why you may not want to go with that program.

Why use AdSense?

The first thing that any one can immediately utter after looking at AdSense is Money. The money is the basic or primary thing to choose AdSense. And this is really important thing to seek AdSense. Almost all of the publishers choose AdSense only because they have the money making concepts in mind. And the good thing is that it’s really possible to make a good amount through AdSense. Nonetheless making money through AdSense depends on lot many things which we shall be discussed in other posts of this blog.

There’s one more reason to choose AdSense. In fact there are many reasons and may differ from publisher to publisher but one more important reason is to make your website or Blog of more worth. Yes it’s possible to make your site more valuable by displaying ads and this is more relevant when we are talking about Google AdSense Ads. It should have been pretty much clear about the contextual ads AdSense displays and by displaying such ads on your website or blog works rather as more resource links on the topic or the content. Thus by displaying such AdSense ads on our pages, we are pointing to lot many valuable (in many cases) resources to explore. People may also be happy to go through the links if found useful afterwards and we are happy after all to have made some bucks through those Ads.

Why to avoid AdSense?

Frankly, one would really need to think lot to get the reasons on avoiding AdSense. However there are some that make sense to avoid this big deal program. First, many people believe that it reduces your page views. In fact any type of advertising does so. It may have several reasons but one thing many can agree with is that people prompt to leave your site with those Ads. This may be because they many not be satisfied with the content on your specific page and may be searching for other related things and end up with clicking on the ads instead of other relevant posts on the topic in your site itself. Many can argue that this is helpful as this can bring some revenue but if you don’t matter the revenue, its better you don’t go with the AdSense ads. For instance, if you sell some products through your site there’s probability that people navigate away from your site without buying the products and in this case even the money you may earn from AdSense may be less worth then the possibility of your products being sold.

Second important reason to avoid AdSense is that you don’t have complete control over the Ads being displayed on your site. Well, you can have some control in accordance with the content you publish in your site but that’s not really adequate. There may be several Ads that you may not want to display on your site and using AdSense you have no choice that you remove those Ads. This is significant if the status and reputation of your site matters in ways of displaying Ads. I think this may be the reason why high profile sites are not attracted to this program and continue their own type of advertisements.

Ok, its up to you know. But I am sure; you are going to choose AdSense to display ads for your website or your blog. Well, if you have been already using, then I hope at least you should have known the basics of this AdSense program. I too hope this helps to have a better figure of AdSense in your mind.
