There are a lot of articles on the web that teach readers on how to manually insert php codes/adsense scripts into different parts of blog in order to add Adsense into a blog.

For non-technical bloggers, the easiest way to add Adsense into your WordPress blog is to use an Adsense plugin, rather than doing it manually.

The AdSense-Deluxe is an easy-to-use WordPress plugin for quickly inserting Google or Yahoo! ads into different parts of your blog.

Below are the steps to add Adsense into your blog:

Step 1: Download Adsense-Deluxe plugin from the Acme Technologies Zeitgeist blog here

Step 2: Upzip the zipped Adsense-Deluxe_wp_plugin folder

Step 3: Copy the unzipped Adsense-Deluxe-wp_plugin file to your wp-content/plugins folder using your FTP program.

Step 4: Login to your WordPress admin panel, go to “plugins” and activate the Adsense-Deluxe plugin

Step 5: Still in your WordPress admin panel, click the “settings/AdsenseDeluxe link to access your “Options for Adsense Deluxe Plugin screen below:

Step 6: In the Options for AdSense-Deluxe plugin screen, click “(Add New)”. In the “New AdSense Block” box, type the name of your Adsense Block. For example, you may type your new block as “bottom post” (to identify the location (bottom of post) of your Adsense code) and click the “Add Adsense Block” button. The Adsense Blocks name box will then display the following generated code: <!–adsense#bottom_post–>. Note: You need to copy this code and place them to a location (either your post or sidebar) which you want the Adsense advertisement to appear (see Step 7 below).

You can add additional blocks by naming your block e.g. “sidebar banner” to identify another location which you want to place your Adsense codes. Please see the “Adsense Deluxe Instructions” which is displayed at the bottom of the above screen (not displayed here).

To get your Adsense codes, see my post on “Signing Up For Your Adsense Account” and “Getting Your Adsense Codes”‘

Step 7: To place the “generated code” to your post, copy the same and place them to your preferred location of your post (for this action, you must toggle to the “HTML” option and not the “Visual” option ). If you want to add the “generated code” to your sidebar, you need to create a “Text” widget first and place the “generated code” there. Save the changes.

Step 8: Click “View Blog” and you should see your Adsense advertisement.
