How to insert Google ads into WordPress——Google Adsense

Inserting Google AdSense ads into WordPress is a straightforward process. Here’s a step-by-step guide:

Step 1: Sign Up for Google AdSense

1. Go to the Google AdSense website.
2. Sign up and provide your website details.
3. Once your account is approved, you’ll receive a unique Publisher ID and access to create ad units.

Step 2: Create an Ad Unit

1. Log in to your Google AdSense account.
2. Navigate to Ads > Ad Units > Create New Ad Unit.
3. Choose the type of ad you want (e.g., Display ads, In-feed ads, etc.).
4. Customize the ad size, style, and layout to fit your website.
5. Save the ad unit, and copy the provided HTML code snippet.

Step 3: Add the Ad Code to WordPress

Option 1: Using a WordPress Plugin

1. Install a Plugin:
   • Go to your WordPress dashboard, and navigate to Plugins > Add New.
   • Search for plugins like Ad Inserter, Advanced Ads, or Google Site Kit.
   • Install and activate your chosen plugin.
2. Configure the Plugin:
   • Use the plugin to insert the AdSense code into desired locations (e.g., header, footer, sidebar, or within posts).
   • Many plugins offer advanced features like conditional ad placement and A/B testing.

Option 2: Manually Inserting the Code

1. Header or Footer Ads:
   • Go to Appearance > Theme File Editor (or use a child theme for safety).
   • Select the file for the header (header.php) or footer (footer.php).
   • Insert the AdSense code just before the closing </head> or </body> tag, depending on your placement preference.
2. Widget Areas:
   • Go to Appearance > Widgets.
   • Add a Custom HTML widget to a sidebar or footer area.
   • Paste the AdSense code into the widget, and save it.
3. Inline Ads (Inside Posts):
   • Edit the post where you want the ad.
   • Use the HTML editor to paste the AdSense code at the desired location.

Step 4: Verify and Test

1. Ensure the ad code is correctly inserted.
2. Check your website’s front end to confirm ads appear as expected.
3. Allow up to 24 hours for ads to start displaying after setup.

Step 5: Monitor Ad Performance

1. Use the Google AdSense Dashboard to track earnings, ad impressions, and click-through rates.
2. Test different ad placements and formats to optimize revenue.
