    How to put Adsense Ads in your Wordpress Sidebar

    By admin | May 16, 2007

    I found several options for putting my Google Adsense ads into the sidebar of my Wordpress blog. Most of the plugins that I found were overly complicated and did not work. The best solution I found was the simplest - simply insert your Adsense code into the text boxes that are included with the sidebar widgets plugin - Here is how to do it:

    1. Download and install the Sidebar Widgets Plugin.
    2. Activate the plugin.
    3. Login to your adsense account and create your adsense code.
    4. Login to your wordpress admin page. Go to presentation > Sidebar Widgets
    5. Drag a text box from the group of widgets at the bottom to your other active widgets at the top.
    6. Click on the corner of the text widget to edit > Copy your adsense code into this box.
    7. Make sure to click on “Save Changes” to save your sidebar settings before you exit the page.

    Banner style Adsense ads fit well in the sidebar. Happy Website Monetizing!

    Postscript: I’m test a new widget that creates the Adsense code for you.  It’s called Adsense Manager
