4. How to Get the Adsense Code from Google Adsense
First you need to sign up with the Google Adsense program. You can do that here google.com/adsense
Make sure you fill out all the info correctly, just a small mistake will delay your payments from Google. Their is no customer service so it will take time to resolve any problems, yes I had problems getting my first paycheck but since that it has been working fine.
When you have your account set up you click ”my ads” and then ”new ad unit”. This will take you to the form where you customize your ad unit, fill out the information what kind of ad unit that you want and then click ”Save and get code”.
Should you use text ads or banner ads? I have tried both and have best luck with the text ads. I think we are kind of ”imune” to the banners, banners look cool but I have not had good luck with them. Someone might have a different oppinion about this and you should try for yourself and see what gives you the best result.
You copy your code and paste it into the area on your wordpress blog, where you want your Adsense unit.
To make things easier, when you have a lot of posts and pages it can be a mess to keep track of the codes especially if you want to change anything, there are helpful Adsense plugins that can help you with this.

I've found out, for me, anyway, sites built around: how to kind of keywords get me more clicks. My click through rates on my best adsense site based on late buying cycle stages has a click through rate of 3-4%. My best one built on keywords people use in the earlier stages of they buying cycle gets me 9-11%, one month it got me 5% (which is still higher than 4).
Nice one, Veronica.
