How to Start using Google Adsense

Now that you know how much you are losing out on, because of not using Google Adsense on your website, you will want to start right away. Here's what you need to do, in order to start serving Google Adsense Ads on your website:

1. Go to https://www.google.com/adsense/ and scroll down. You will see:

I advise you to first click on 'Quick Tour' and each of the 'Learn More' links (including 'Common Questions') and then click on the apply button to get started. Read all the policies and make sure your website qualifies. It is tough getting back if Google decides to ban your website from their program.

2. Fill the application form completely and wait for Google's email. You will receive an email once your website is approved for the program.

3. Log in using your username and password at www.google.com/adsense and generate codes to use on your website.

4. Add these codes to your website and you will start serving ads. For details on adding codes to blend-in with your website, read the next article on Effectively Integrate Adsense into Your Website.

5. Google Adsense gives you an option to use 'Channels'. Create different channels for different pages or sections on your website or even different websites 9if you own more than one) right in the beginning. This will help you in finding out which channels are performing best.

6. Log-in daily and check your earnings, top channels, monthly reports etc.
