Google AdSense setup

(Come check me out at http://www.thesleepygeek.com)

So I tried to set up AdSense a while back but didn’t have any luck. I didn’t give it a real chance because I was relying on a WordPress widget to try and install it. It turns out that the new version of WordPress had a “text” widget. This allows the blogger to create a static entry in their widget bar. You can also add in code to implement something in that text area… and you guessed it; AdSense!

It was really quite simple. With AdSense you need to generate code to put in your page if you are the creator, you simply take that code and insert it in the text sidebar widget. It’s that simple!

Now I am going to start looking into other ways of listing; possibly in posts or maybe a banner. I like their ideas but I am still weary of it taking over the site. All too often I see more Google ads on peoples pages than I do actual content.

Another post question for you… What do you use for advertising on your site? Do you prefer another service? If so email me marcus@hamaker.net.
