Host Your Blog on Wordpress.com and NOT Wordpress.org

The first condition to add and show Google Adsense Ads on your WordPress blog is to host it on Wordpress.org and NOT Wordpress.com

Wordpress.com is a FREE blogging platform where anyone can join and create a blog for FREE. It is not meant to display ads.

On the other hand, Wordpress.org is meant for those bloggers and webmasters who host their blog with a web hosting company and then install WordPress on their site.

There are several web hosting companies but the best is Bluehost. I have hosted 4 of my websites with Bluehost.

Bluehost.com offers 1-click installation of WordPress into your website blog. If you have no idea on how to install WordPress, you can learn it here - Bluehost Tutorial to Install WordPress.

I prefer to use Medium Rectangle (300x250), Wide Skyscraper (160x600) and Leaderboard (728x90) ads that perform very well with high click-thru rates.

Once you get the code, return back to your WordPress blog and go to "Appearance" and select "Widgets". Now scroll down and select the "Text" widget and drag it to the left or right sidebar, wherever you wish to display the ads. Now edit the text box and paste the Adsense code in this box and SAVE.

That's all! Adsense ads are now running on your WordPress blog.

Remember, proper placement of Adsense ads can increase your income.

In this tutorial, I will explain the process of adding Adsense code to the singlepost.php. This will allow you to display ads on every post only when the post is individually viewed. There are many places within the singlepost.php to add the code, to keep it simple, I explain to show ads just on the left or right of every post. Also this is the hotspot to display advertisements to income clicks and revenue.

Adding Google Ads to WordPress Posts:

Login to your AdSense Account and create a new AdSense code. I use a 336X280 or 300c250 format as they offer better CTR and more income.
Now, login to your WordPress Administration panel
Go to navmenu click Appearance > Editor
From the "Theme Files" section, select Single Post (single.php)
When you are at the theme editor window, scroll down to locate following code <div class="entrytext">
Add your AdSense code directly below <div class="entrytext">
Click the Update file button.
View your site now to see the ads.

Example: Placing the Ads on Left Side of The Post

<div style="float:left; padding-top:20px; padding-right:10px;"><script type="text/javascript"><!–
google_ad_client = "pub-1234256358";
google_ad_slot = "1234556358";
google_ad_width = 300;
google_ad_height = 250;
//–>
</script>
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script></div>

If you want your Adsense Ads to float to the right side of the post then change float:left to float:right.

If you don't want to position the code left or right just surround your code with the <div></div> tags
