Five Methods:Start the Sign Up ProcessAgree to Google’s PoliciesSubmit the AdSense ApplicationWait for Your Acceptance Into the ProgramSet Up Your Website for the Ads

Have you ever wondered why so many websites have advertisements lining the side of each page? The answer is Google AdSense, the application Google uses to help publishers of websites make money. While Google is not the only company offering a program like AdSense, it currently controls about 75% of the market. By placing ads on websites, people can earn a percentage of the revenue that Google makes for sponsoring the ads. The companies that want to advertise pay Google, which then pays the hosting website. In order to take advantage of this, website owners must first set up AdSense.

    Locate the HTML code from Google.
    • You can get the code from the email Google sends to you or by logging into your account with Google.
  2. 2
    Post the AdSense code into your HTML code for your website. This new section of code tells browsers where to display the ads from Google.

    Check to make sure you can see Google ads on your website.
    • At first, you may see generic public announcements from Google. Once Google analyzes your content, usually within 24 hours, it will change the ads to content-specific ones.
