A simple method to monetize your Joomla website is to add Google AdSense code to your web pages so that pertinent ads show on every page of your site and present your visitors more choices to locate what they are looking for. You make a percentage of what the advertisers pay to Google for the click through and it is not complicated to do.
There are third party plug-ins for Joomla that will let you show ads from Google, but you may not desire to use another plug-in that may slow down your site, or may not have any developer support or might have disagreements with other additions. This article will show you how to add ads from Google AdSense, or any other AdSense alternate ad service, to your Joomla website manually.
Assumptions:
- You already have Joomla installed.
- You have Joomla administrator area access.
- You have already set up a Google AdSense account and understand how to access the code to insert to your site.
Before getting the code from Google, you should first decide where the ad will go on your site; will they be erect or horizontal? Will they be large or small? Once you have determined this, get the respective code from Google AdSense and save it in a text file for future orientation.
Process:
Get into to your Joomla administration back end and go to the “Extensions” menu and click on “Module Manager”. Click on “New” and then choose “Custom HTML” from the Categories described. In the “Custom Output” area, first choose “Edit HTML” and then paste the code that you find from Google in to the “Custom Output” window. Give your module a title that you will memorize for upcoming reference. Make sure “Show Title” is set to “No” and “Enabled” is set to “Yes”.
Finally, you will want to select the location you want the ads to show up on your Joomla site and on which pages they will be visible. To see the available positions for your Google AdSense on your Joomla site go to “Extensions” and then “Template Manager”. From here choose your theme and click “Preview”. Now check your position from here and select that position for your Google Adsense from the position Drop down menu. In the “Menu Selection” choose your pages on which you want your Google Adsense to display, click “save”.
Thats it, this is the simplest way through which you can Add Google AdSense to a Joomla Site. Enjoy your AdSense Earnings.
