Please tell me you’re not copying and pasting your Adsense codes directly into all of your blog posts and pages!  It’s not like I didn’t use to.

First, since this theme comes with widgets (which I’m still trying to figure out how to use properly), here’s how I put the 160×600 text links Adsense block into my sidebar:

  1. Login in to your WP admin panel.
  2. Click on the “Presentation” tab.
  3. Click on the “Widgets” tab.
  4. Drag your “Text 1″ widget to “SidebarLeft”
  5. Click on your “Text 1″ widget to configure.
  6. Copy and Paste your Google Adsense code into the blank space.  (I left the title blank).
  7. Click “Save Changes”.
  8. That’s it – all done with that one.

Second, here’s how I put the 468×60 text link Adsense ad blocks (blue with the rounded corners) that display at the top of my pages:

  1. Login to your WP admin panel.
  2. Click on the “Presentation” tab.
  3. Click on the “Theme Editor” tab.
  4. Click on “Main Index Template” to open “Editing index.php”.
  5. To insert, Copy and Paste your Adsense code here: Insert Adsense Code
  6. Click on “Update File”!

Now, before I forget — I’ve read on other sites where people are worrying about too many adsense ad blocks showing up on one page and how it’s against Google’s TOS and people are worried about getting axed, banned and whatever.

Here’s what I know, or what I think because of what I’ve learned.  Yeah, that made sense!  Anyways,  none of that stuff will happen!  What happens when you have more than Google’s allowed amounts of ad blocks running on your pages is that the ones that are over the limit simply won’t run – or just won’t show up.

In fact, now that I’m thinking about it, I’m sure I even heard or read that…somewhere.  Does anyone know the facts on this?  Reliable resources please help me to clear this up!  As a last resort, I suppose I could take extreme measures into my own hands and go on over to Google and read their TOS….hmmmmm????
