You can use AdSense to display ads on your website to generate revenue.
AdSense is a Google program designed to display targeted ads based on the content of the pages the ads appear on. If you are a webmaster or blogger, you can sign up for AdSense on Google and then place ads on your site to generate revenue. You get paid when people click on those ads. Setting up AdSense is fairly straightforward after you have been approved and is easy to set up.
Instructions
1. Apply for AdSense by visiting Google's AdSense website. You can find a link to this site in the resources section.
2. Wait for your acceptance confirmation before setting up the AdSense ads. After you receive this confirmation, you can begin legally using AdSense.
3. Select the AdSense product you wish to use. Google offers several AdSense product types that include search units, links units and content-based units. Once you have selected your unit type, click the submit button to move to the next step.
4. Choose the design and dimensions of the unit you have selected. You can choose colors and sizes that best fit the style of your website. After you have selected your desired combinations, click the submit button to move to the next step.
5. Place the ad unit in a channel so that you can keep track of the number of ads you display and the number of clicks you receive. Typically, you want to name the channel based on the size and location of your ad so you easily know what ads the channel is displaying. Click the submit button to move to the next step.
6. Push the "Submit and Get Code" button. Google will then generate a javascript based code.
7. Copy the generated javascript code. Click inside the box to highlight the whole code, then choose "Copy" from the Edit menu on your browser.
8. Open up the .html files you are using for your website, or if you are using an ad display program, locate the section that requests your AdSense code.
9. Paste your code(s) in the spots where you would like your ads to appear. You may need to generate several different ad types with different sizes and shapes to create a combination of ad units that work best for your site. Be sure to paste the code within the tags of the HTML code of your page.
