Once You Are Approved for AdSense

Once your blog has been approved to host AdSense ads on it, you will
want to add in the three blocks of ads into your Blogger template.
How and where you do this is vitally important as to how well you will
generate income from AdSense. You want the ads to blend in with
your template and you want them to not look like obvious ads to your
readers.

Reading the terms and conditions of AdSense you find that you are
allowed to host three separate AdSense ad blocks per website. For a
Blogger blog, you will want one at the top of the page, one within your
message text and another on the sidebar with your links. These have
been proven locations for many bloggers and are generally the known
preferred places for anyone who wishes to make money from
AdSense.


Your number one goal with these three ad blocks is to make them
blend in with the rest of your blog and not appear to your readers as
ads. Google has helped you out with this by providing you with the
ability to “blend” your ads with your chosen template. To do this you
will go to the Dashboard in Blogger and click on Settings -> AdSense.

Notice where it says “Blend Template” under “Select Colors,” this is
the selection you will always want to use! It is very important to have
your AdSense ads blend in with the rest of your content. While other
colors might look better, people will not click on them as often if they
scream “ads” to them. Better to stick with what has worked for other
bloggers and just blend the ads into your template.


To the left of that is the “Select Ad Format” drop-down box. This
allows you choose the size of your AdSense ad block. The size of the
block you choose will be determined by where you want the AdSense
ads to appear on your blog and how you want them to look arranged
on the page.
