To add an ads code to your WordPress website, you can follow these steps:
-
Sign up for an ad network: If you haven’t already, sign up for an ad network like Google AdSense, Media.net, or Ezoic. These platforms will provide you with the ad code you need to display ads on your site.
-
Generate the ad code: Once you’ve signed up and been approved by the ad network, log in to your account and navigate to the ad code generation section. This may be called “Ad Units,” “AdSense Code,” or something similar, depending on the platform you’re using.
-
Customize the ad code: Choose the ad format, size, and other settings as desired. Most ad networks will provide you with a preview of the ad to help you decide on the best settings.
-
Copy the ad code: After customizing the ad, copy the generated code to your clipboard.
-
Access your WordPress site: Log in to your WordPress admin dashboard.
-
Add the ad code to your site: There are several ways to add the ad code to your WordPress site:a. Use a plugin: There are various plugins available, such as “Ad Inserter” or “Insert Headers and Footers,” that allow you to easily insert ad code into your site. Install the plugin, navigate to its settings, and paste the ad code into the designated area.b. Manually add the code to your theme: If you’re comfortable editing your theme’s files, you can add the ad code directly to your theme’s header, footer, or sidebar. To do this, navigate to “Appearance” > “Theme Editor” in your WordPress admin dashboard. Find the appropriate file (e.g., header.php, footer.php, or sidebar.php), and paste the ad code where you want the ad to appear. Be careful not to edit any other code in the file, as this could cause issues with your site.c. Use a widget: If you want to add the ad code to your sidebar or footer, you can use a text widget. Navigate to “Appearance” > “Widgets” in your WordPress admin dashboard. Drag a “Text” widget to the desired location (e.g., sidebar or footer), paste the ad code into the widget’s content area, and save the changes.
-
Save and update: Save your changes and update your site. The ad code should now be integrated into your WordPress site, and ads should start appearing based on the settings you’ve chosen.
-
Monitor and optimize: Keep an eye on your ad performance to ensure that the ads are generating revenue and not negatively impacting your site’s user experience. Adjust the ad settings and placements as needed to optimize your ad revenue.
