How to Put AdSense Ads on a Blogger Blog?

Google Adsense ads are the topic-specific ads that are placed on monetized Blogger blogs (and many other websites, including Ehow). The Blogger layout does not give users the option to only place Adsense on specific blog posts. But if you have a few blog posts that generate lots of hits, you might want to add more advertisements so your Adsense revenue increases. At the same time, you may not want all those advertisements "junking" up your blog's homepage. Read on for how to place Google Adsense on a specific Blogger post

Instructions for How to Put AdSense Ads on a Blogger Blog

1. Sign into your Blogger account and click "Layout" on the blog dashboard.
   
2. Make sure you are on the Page Elements tab. Depending on what Blogger template you're using, your blog will have either two or three columns. On the left most column click "Add a gadget."
   
3. Find Adsense and select it by clicking the blue square to the right of the explanation. Choose the Google Adsense format and color combination that works best for your blog. You can always go back and easily change these options later.
   
4. When you save your options the Adsense widget will appear in your Blogger layout. Even if this is not where you want your ads to appear, leave it in this spot for now. You can easily move it later.
   
5. In order to tell Blogger to only place Adsense ads on specific pages you need to modify the HTML code. From the Layout Tab click on "Edit HTML."
   
6. Check the box to Expand Widget Templates. If you don't do this, you won't be able to find the code for the Google Adsense widget.
   
   
7. Find the Blogger Adsense Widget Code
   Scroll down until you find the code. Since the Adsense widget is the first item on the left side column, it should be among the first widget codes.
   
8. Edit the BloggerTemplate
   There are two lines of HTML code that you'll have to add to the Blogger template in order to put Adsense on specific blog pages. Copy the first code from the picture on the left.
   
9. Paste the code into the Blogger tempate replacing "Enter URL Here" with the URL of the blog post where you want to place Google ads. You can use the graphic to the left to see exactly where to add the line into the code.
   
   
10. Close HTML Code in Blogger Template
    Now you need to add the second line of code. Copy the closing second tag from the graphic in Step 8. Then skip down three lines from where you placed the above code and paste it. Refer to the picture on the left for more details.
    
11. Click the orange Save Template button to save the changes.
    
12. View your blog. You won't see the Adsense ads on your blog's homepage (unless that was the URL you entered into the code). Go to the blog post where you placed the ads to make sure they are correctly on the page.
    
    
13. If you want to change the location of the ads on this blog post go back to Layout>Page Elements. Simply drag and drop the Google Adsense Widget to another place in your Blogger template.
