What is Google AdSense?

Google AdSense is a free advertising program that allows website publishers to display targeted ads on their websites and earn money when visitors view or click on the ads. It’s one of the most popular ways to monetize web content.

Overview

Integrating Google AdSense into your project involves these main steps:

  1. Register for a Google AdSense account
  2. Get approval for your website
  3. Obtain ad code snippets
  4. Use ClackyAI to implement the ads into your website
  5. Deploy to your production site

Step-by-Step Integration Guide

1. Register for a Google AdSense Account

To get started with Google AdSense:

  1. Visit Google AdSense
  2. Click “Get started” and sign in with your Google account
  3. Provide your website URL and email address
  4. Accept the AdSense Terms and Conditions
  5. Submit your application

2. Submit Your Website for Approval

After registration, Google will review your website to ensure it meets their program policies:

  • Original Content: Your site must have unique, valuable content
  • Sufficient Content: Adequate pages and content volume
  • User-Friendly Navigation: Clear site structure and navigation
  • Privacy Policy: Must include a privacy policy page
  • Compliance: Adhere to AdSense Program Policies

Approval Time: Typically takes 1-3 days, but can take up to 2 weeks depending on the review queue.

3. Get Your Ad Code

Once your account is approved:

  1. Log in to the AdSense dashboard
  2. In the left menu, select Ads
  3. Click on By ad unit, then choose Display ads
  4. Create a new ad unit:
    • Enter a name for your ad unit
    • Choose the ad size (Responsive, Fixed, or Custom)
    • Select ad type (Display ads, In-feed ads, In-article ads, etc.)
  5. Click Create to generate your ad code
  6. Copy the ad code snippet

Your ad code will look similar to this:

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
     crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
     style="display:block"
     data-ad-client="ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
     data-ad-slot="YYYYYYYYYY"
     data-ad-format="auto"
     data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
<script>
     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
