Let the Cash Flow

Thursday, October 18th, 2007

Not so fast.. Here is the deal; you start advertising other websites or help them promote their products from your blog. The most reliable and the perfect start for advertising is Google Adsense (as you probably already know). After opening your account in Google Adsense, you create your personal Ad Code by entering Adsense setup menu and following the instructions.

Adsense offers several types of ads to match your blog. You can check them here. I used Banner and vertical banner in my blog (As we change our blog design we can try different options). While choosing the banner color you can try to find suitable combinations to match your blogs theme. Most bloggers claim that their incomes remarkably raised when they optimized the ad colors to their blogs.

When you generate the adcode, you have to implement the code to your blog. You can try out several plug-ins to implement the code automatically (I will review a few of them in the following days). For start you can try to implement code yourself (Nothing so hard, i tried and failed several times and success at last). For implementing codes yourself go to the theme editor in your wordpress admin menu. You see the files at right. I added my codes to top of main index and bottom of sidebar. In the main index I added the code right after second line “div id=”content” class=”narrowcolumn” and in the side bar I added the code right before last line “/div”. You can try out different type of ads with different positioning.

Now we have the ads placed so does the cash start to flow? No! You can stare at your own ads forever and this one will not make you earn a dollar you can be sure. So we have to start building some traffic.
