How to Use Google AdSense

1. Open an AdSense account by signing up with Google and applying to the AdSense program in the My Account area. It is free to sign up with Google, though not everyone who signs up for AdSense is approved. If you don't yet have a website on which to place AdSense ads, sign up for a Blogger account through the Google My Account section and start a blog. That will give you a URL to use when applying for an AdSense account.
2. Choose your Google AdSense options once you have an account. Design each block of ads to create a line border or an open border, a color background or no color, etc. Select the basic size and shape of your Google ads block. Pick either a horizontal block of ads or a vertical block. Each block will have one to four ads on it, depending on the size that you choose.

3. Generate your AdSense ad code — a JavaScript code that may be added to most websites. There are some website hosts that aren't equipped for the code to be pasted onto their sites when using their page builders. BlueHost is one such web host. Some sites, including Blogger, HubPages and Google hosted sites, have a built-in widget to easily add Google Adsense to the sites by simply choosing a spot to place the ads and allowing the site to add the code.
4. Use the text on your page to guide the type of ads that will be shown by Google. AdSense ads are chosen by Google, and you will not be able to hand pick which ads appear on your page. Google advertising runs on relevant ads that are chosen based on the keywords that appear on your page. By choosing plenty of keywords that are relevant to the subject matter of your page, you will ensure that the ads will match up well with your subject matter. To get ideas for keywords, use an online keyword tool like WordTracker to find relevant terms.
5. Keep adding content pages that are monetized with Google advertising. The minimum payout for Google AdSense is $100, so it often takes several months or longer before a new AdSense user reaches it. But, by steadily adding pages, by — for example — frequently updating a blog, your payouts will become more and more frequent.
