How to Add Google Banners or Link Ads to Your Blog Sidebar
[ad#in-post-image-ad]I have relied so heavily on the www. to help me with my blogging business. There have been so many helpful sites with effective plugins and others that just served as the fuel to keep on running down this path of earning a living with passion and dedication. As I continue to update you on the keys to a successful and monetized blog, I will also give you some tools and codes that I have used myself. From adding products to your sidebar to adding Google Adsense ads under your header, this will be the 1st of many How To’s.
Please let me know if there is an easier way to accomplish what I am showing in these posts or if I’ve missed steps.
1) Create a new ad code for Google Banner on Adsense & match the colors appropriately to the site
2) Plugins needed:
a. None specifically for this
3) WP: Navigate to your EDITOR AREA (under APPEARANCE admin functions) I usually place at the bottom of my sidebar.
4) I will copy the code that creates the blocks in the sidebar. Example of one of my codes for blocks:
|
<div class=”Block”> <div class=”Block-body”> <div class=”BlockHeader”> <div class=”header-tag-icon”> <div class=”BlockHeader-text”>Categories</div> </div> <div class=”l”></div> <div class=”r”><div></div></div> </div> <p align=”center”><div class=”BlockContent”> <div class=”BlockContent-body”> <ul> <?php wp_list_categories(‘show_count=1&title_li=’); ?> </ul> </div> </div></p>
</div> </div> </div>
|
5) Replace with ‘Ads’ without the quotes and the codes below with the exact Google Adsense Codes you have generated. My example:
|
<div class=”Block”> <div class=”Block-body”> <div class=”BlockHeader”> <div class=”header-tag-icon”> <div class=”BlockHeader-text”>Ads</div> </div> <div class=”l”></div>
<div class=”r”><div></div></div>
</div>
<div class=”BlockContent”>
<div class=”BlockContent-body”>
<script type=”text/javascript”><!– google_ad_client = “pub-7289396346068035″; /* TP right sidebar 336×280, created 1/17/09 */ google_ad_slot = “2471835550″; google_ad_width = 336; google_ad_height = 280; //–> </script> <script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js”> </script>
</form>
</div> </div>
</div> </div>
|
6) I don’t usually center this if the other items on the sidebar are not centered.
7) It may take up to 10 minutes after the creation of your ads and placement for your ads to show up. This is quite normal.
8) Repeat steps 4-5 if you would like to ad other ads in your Sidebar area.
The end. Thank you & happy blogging.
