Adding Adsense In Wordpress Post 1

By Blogotise | Jan 17, 2009

While most bloggers use Google Adsense as the money generating machine so to make money blogging, most of the bloggers look for Wordpress Plugins to help to do the job. I had two posts about these Wordpress Google Adsense Plugins in Top Google Adsense Wordpress Plugins, Top Google Adsense Wordpress Plugins(Pt. 2). Most of them are really useful, for example I had been using Adsense Injection to automatically insert Adsense Ads into my post randomly and the settings was really easy.

However, what I find to be more easy is to directly do a little modification to your theme php files and you could have better control and understanding about managing and modifying your Worpress Themes.

To insert Adsense Ads on top of your Wordpress Posts:

1) Go to your Wordpress Themes Folder, and edit the single.php file.

2) Look for

<h1><a href=”<?php the_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

<h1 class=”title”><a href=”<?php echo get_permalink() ?>” rel=”bookmark” title=”Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></a></h1>

3) The title setting appeared either like one of them, or could be a little different than these two. However it is fine, just look for similar line and add your Adsense codes right after the line. (This setup allow your Adsense Ads to appear under your Wordpress Posts title)

4) You are done.(For new Google Adsense user, you may need to wait for around 10 minutes for the Adsense ads to appear after the setup)
