How to Add Google Ads to My Site

1. Go to the Google AdSense website. (See Resources.)
2. Click 'Sign up now.'

3. Fill in your website's URL, your website's language, click the checkbox next to 'I will not place ads on sites that include incentives to click on ads' and 'I will not place ads on sites that include pornographic content.'
4. Choose an account type by clicking on the drop-down menu by 'account type.' Identify the country you're from by clicking on the drop-down menu by 'country or territory.'
5. Fill out your personal information.
6. Agree to the program policies by clicking all of the checkboxes, unless you do not agree with these policies. However, you will then not be able to sign up for Google AdSense.
7. Log into the Google AdSense account by putting in your username and password.
8. Click on 'AdSense Setup' at the top of the Google AdSense page.
9. Click on 'AdSense for Content' under the 'AdSense Setup' text.
10. Choose 'Ad unit' or 'Link unit' by clicking the circle near the corresponding option. Click 'Continue.' The ad unit option will place relevant advertisements created by advertising companies on your website, while the link unit option will give four or five sponsored search results from the Google search engine that are relevant to your website content. The ad unit will appear as a block, sometimes with an advertisement image or flash video, wherever you place the HTML on the website. The link unit will simply be four or five text links that will appear wherever you place the HTML on the website.
11. Choose the values on the ad colors section in order to determine what colors the various aspects of the ad will have such as the ad border and title. There are boxes near the values that bring up a selection of colors when you click on them.
12. Select which font style you want to use for the text ads.
13. Pick an 'alternate ads or colors' option such as 'public service ads,' 'non-Google ads' or 'fill space with a solid color.' Sometimes Google cannot find a relevant ad for the website and will have to give you one of these options. Click 'Continue.'
14. Click 'add new channel.'
15. Type a name for the channel. Click 'OK.'
16. Click 'Continue.'
17. Click 'Submit and get code.'
18. Copy and paste the HTML that Google AdSense gave you onto your website.
