i have been trying to get adsense adverts on my website for months now, still no luck. i am very inexperianced with web development, so any instructions need to be very basic please. i understand that the adsense code needs to be insterted inot the html text. but i can not find the html text, or any alternative of where to insert this code.

there are two ways that i have tried to set this up:

1. by downloading the adsense module - this module, seams to me, to be for managing the adverts once they are up and running, i can not see any way to insert the code or create adds through this module. please correct me if i am wrong or tell me if i am rite so i can disregard this avenue for the moment.

2. trying to create an avert through blocks - i can create a block but the code given to me by adsense is displayed in the block its self instead of the actual advert. i see that this message is below the block body when i am creating a block:

''Use the special tag [adsense:format:slot] or [adsense:format:[group]:[channel][:slot]] or [adsense:block:location] to display Google AdSense ads.''

i dont understand what this means, how do i add a tag? and once i have added a tag will this allow the advert to be displayed in the block?

any responses would be greatley apperciated, many thanks, rosy

Hi,

my understanding is that you just install de adsense module, choose the blocks, where to put them, subscribe adsense and then just put the id number.
I understand it that way.
Right now i'm waiting for the approval of my adsense account so if it works i'll tell you if it did.

Cheers,
André

The module will take create the ad for you. You need to install adsense core and the managed ads.. Then you need to create an ad in the Google AdSense website. Then you just need to copy your publisher ID (top right corner) and the ad ID (a long number).

Insert your publisher ID in admin/config/services/adsense/publisher and insert the ad ID in the Ad Slot ID in admin/structure/block/manage/adsense_managed/0/configure.

Then you need to enable the block and place it in your site.

Title: VERY inexperianced and need simple step by step help with adsense please » Solution here

The solution which worked for me is that I used the adsense tags format and then used this format to show ads on the site. Actually I was getting Ads disabled for admin and for other users i was getting the empty ad with space occupied on page but nothing shown. After different tweaks and experiments I got the following code working for me

[adsense:336x280:XXXXXXXXXX]

2nd parameter is width x height
3rd parameter: XXXXXXXXXX denotes the google ad slot/id.

I hope this will help others.
