How do i add Google Adsense to my website(s) and also 3 Youtube channels?

Hey Alan,

The only advice I can add to what has already been shared with you here is to make sure you keep a close watch on your website loading time, once you have added your Adsense code to your website.

Many of us have experienced our sites slowing the loading time so badly as to remove Adsense from our website.

Hope you find this helpful.

Thank you very much Trish! cheers Alan

Hi - with YouTube, a channel can't be monetized until it has 500 subscribers and 3000 watch hours.

Hi Diane, Thank you very much for your guidance. I qualify on those counts, cheers Alan

Hello Allan! You just need to apply to Google Adsense. It’s free. You’re only required to have a Gmail account and your website to have about 20 30 published posts!

Hope this helps!

Cheers,
Maria 🌹

Hi Maria, Thank you very much, I qualify on those counts, cheers Alan.

All the best to you Alan!

Thanks Abie, cheers Alan.

You're welcome :)

I don't know about YouTube however you can use the Ad Inserter plugin, as you do not want to edit your theme files directly as you will lose your changes when the theme updates or if you change your theme.

Thanks Abie, I will watch the video, Alan

Np, Alan :)

Are there any implications or downsides of using a bit.ly link rather than my own original Wealthy Affiliate affiliate link?

Good question, Alan. Plus Plus got your back!😀

Maxine

Thanks very much Maxine!

You're welcome, Alan🙂

With so many scammers out there now people do tend to stay away from shortened links.
Yeah, Pretty links are very useful as Google think it is an internal link. So you don't have too many pages pointing away from your site and Google likes to see more internal links than external.

Yes, you are right about that. I use Pretty Links, not bit-ly but I’ve seen youtubers use it. I think using Pretty Links URL in YouTube is better for affiliate links. Im still learning how to use it. The training needs to be updated.

Hi Brenda, thanks very much for your answer, Best Alan.

Thanks very much Graham, Best Alan.

Some platforms don't like you sharing raw affiliate links; however, when you can, it would be more feasible to include them in a post and share that position instead.

With bit.ly, you can track your links and read data which is a plus.

Pretty recognizable that the link has been shortened.

Useful for really long URLs

Some people are wary of clicking on shortened URLs because they can't see where the link will take them. This can lead to suspicion of spam or phishing attempts.

If bit.ly goes down or experiences issues, your links may become inaccessible. Or you are bit.ly deciding to turn off your connections.

Some affiliate programs are against cloaking, like Amazon, and, for example, you need to look up programs' terms and conditions.

Thanks very much Abie, that´s very helpful! cheers Alan

You're welcome, Alan :)

You can also use Pretty Links if you like.

Yeah, you are shortening your RAW affiliate URLs

Yeah Pretty Link is a very effective tool

The training on how to use Pretty Links needs to be updated. I been using Youtube tutorials for this.

Thanks for the update :)

Hi, is it possible for my VA to get access to my account using my login details please? He is in Slovenia and I am in the UK, thanks Alan

You have the one login; you cannot add them as a user as you do with a wordpress site.

I would be very careful who do I allow access to your WA account. Only do if you fully trust them.

Hi Lady, thanks very much for your advice, cheers Alan.

You're welcome, and it is Abie :)

Ok thanks Abie!

No problem :)

I have a website which i would like to take offline, because I have incorporated the services from this website into another website which i would like to redirect to.

I would not take a website down. However, you may discourage search engine visibility.

However, you may go to site domains and initiate a redirect on the domain in question.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/domains

For any issues, you may contact the site support
https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/support

I also found this information to help you. Hazel

Thank you very much Hazel, best Alan

You go to SiteManager, then to websites.

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites

Then you go to details and scroll down the bottom where it says delete the site, but you are keeping the domain right, so you go to

SiteDomains

https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/domains

Find your domain name then click the settings down arrow then look for word redirect.

It will ask for your URL domain that you want the domain name to be redirected to your other website.

You click the button save settings, then wait 24 hours to see if it works.

Thanks very much Brenda, cheers Alan.

I hope that helped you to figure it out.

Yes thank you Brenda.
