If you need to go back to get your code again, here is where you will find it:

•Go to your website dashboard.

•Plugins, then add new

•In top right search bar, enter easy adsense

This is the one I used but you are welcome to compare and choose another plugin.

Click Install now then activate the plugin.

The next two screen shots show you the different options for ad placement. Since you are waiting for your second approval, I recommend to go ahead and place the maximum of three ads. Leave them up until you get your next approval email.

After I received my second approval, I moved my ad to a widget and suppressed the rest.

I selected top of page, middle of page and bottom. Where the drop down says position on the left, you have additional position options. Make sure you select suppress on the boxes you are not using. The drop down labeled show allows you to tell the ad to let the text wrap around and other options. Click save changes when done.

Your ad will be a big white block until second approval is received.

This initial ad is just to get you through second approval. I actually went into the middle box and selected force so I knew for sure the ad was there. You won’t be able to see it and that’s frustrating. I kept changing it because I thought I’d put it in the wrong place. Google took forever, almost 36 hrs before I got my second approval. (May have had something to do with me changing it multiple times!)

Set it and forget it until you get your second approval email.

Great training Angela. I didn't use a plugin - I just install them manually but the plugin will help people. Happy New Year to you. Olive

Hello. How do you do that?

You paste the adsense code into a text widget and it will look similar to this except the code in this screenshot is not adsense

I also recently found another plugin that I think is better than the one I mentioned in this training. It's called AdSense by BestWebSoft

ok great I'll try that! I am familar with the widgets and adding code into that. I was just concerned about wanting to know an easier way to put my ads on top of my website and bottom other than in the side bar. Also, do you know the reason why after adding the one adsense plug in I was using, that now I noticed several ads like 22 of them to my same site but says things like: fronti page1, front page 2, mobile page 1, mobile page2 in my google adsense account. I didn't know how to delete them so what I did was just 'hide' them.

Hmmm, not sure. It doesn't sound familiar. I'll have a look at my account later on and see if I can find something similar.

Hello Angela. I got the plugin and was able to work with it. Only thing is it keeps telling me now after getting auth code: "Network is unreachable". Do I have to like keep my adsense account page open in order for this to work while I'm configuring it?

Not sure, try it and see. You can also try deactivating the plugin and adding it back possibly or refreshing the page? I didn't get that so I'm afraid I don't have a solution for now. Let me know if you get it sorted.

ok I found out something about it. I had to log out og my wp and get back into it again. Thanks. Another thing I wanted to know is how long did it take for your ads to show up on your website?

I honestly don't remember. It did take almost 2 days before I got my 2nd approval but I thinks it was because I kept moving my ad because I thought I had done something wrong lol. So just set the ad and leave it and it shouldn't take as long as mine did.

Oh Ok. While I'm waiting for that, I really wanted to also put an adsense add unit above my header and on footer area. But if that is being such a pain, I will try to get an Amazon ad or something there, which I am just gonna focus on that while waiting for my adsense ads to show up.

ok, once you get your second approval, let me know. I can look at your theme and see if it can be done.

I put two rather reluctantly, probably a beginners mistake with thinking about easy coins. I do not like them and feel they ruin my site. In fact I was advised to remove at least one, thinking to do this.

I had 3 up only to ensure my approval. After I received my 2nd approval, I dropped to just one in my sidebar. I don't like the way they look either :)
