Adding Google Adsense
If you are familiar with Blogger then youll know that adding AdSense into your blog posts by using the pre-built AdSense gadget is limiting. You dont have much control over the layout or positioning of the code and can really only put it in the sidebar of your template, or between each blog post.
It certainly isnt as customizable as WordPress templates are when it comes to monetizing your site, however if you arent scared to play around with a bit of code, adding AdSense directly into your blog posts is actually quite simple, so lets get started.
Obviously Im going to assume that you already have an AdSense account (if you dont then youll need to register with Google and apply). If you do then log in and grab the size and color that you want. I recommend trying to blend your ads in with the same color as your template. A good size to use is medium rectangle unit which Ive always got pretty good click through ratios on.
Paste it into Notepad for now as youll need to edit it a bit before you put it into your Blogger template so it displays correctly. Youll need to parse the code before you can put it into your template. That means replacing the andgt; and . When you find it, paste your AdSense code immediately above that line. That will place the code at the top of every blog post.
If you want the ads to wrap around the text on the page, just add the div float: right code or float: left depending on the side you want it on around your AdSense code. Dont forget to close the div at the end of the AdSense code.
Save your template and your AdSense ads should now be in the body of your posts.
