To show Google ads on your site you need to place AdSense ad code on your pages. Whether you're new to AdSense or looking for a refresher, this guide will help you through the steps to implement ad code on your site.
To generate your AdSense ad code you first need to create an ad unit. You do this on the My ads tab in your AdSense account.You do this on the My ads page in your AdSense account. There are a few different types of ad unit that you can choose from. Once you've decided the type of ad unit that you want to create, follow the steps below to get and copy your ad code.
Ad unit: a set of Google ads displayed as a result of one piece of AdSense ad code.
Types of ad unit
AdSense offers several different types of ad unit. If a standard ad unit doesn't meet the requirements of your site, consider using one of our more specialised ad units:
Allows you to specify the width and height of the ad that you want to appear on your page. Find out more about custom-sized ad units.
Responsive ad unit
Adaptable ad unit
Allows you to support a wide range of devices (i.e. computers, phones, tablets, etc.) by automatically adapting its size to fit your page layout. Find out more about responsive ad units.
Matched content unit
Block of content recommendations
Generates contextually relevant and personalised article recommendations from the pages on your website. Find out more about the Matched content feature.
How to get and copy your ad code:
Select an option below and follow the instructions to get and copy your ad code:
In the sidebar, select your product. For example, if you want to display ads on your website, select "Content".
Click +New ad unit.
Give your ad unit a name. It’s a good idea to use a unique, descriptive name that will help you find this ad unit later.
In the "Ad size" section, choose the size of the ads that you’d like to show.
In general, wider ad units perform better. We encourage you to choose one of our recommended ad sizes, which have shown to perform well across a variety of sites. Ad sizes that perform well on mobile are shown with a mobile icon .
Select the type of ads that you’d like to show on your pages from the Ad type drop-down menu. We highly recommend that you display both text and display ads. By displaying more ad types, you can earn more revenue.
Note that if you're eligible for Matched content, you'll see the option to create a Matched content unit in the Ad type drop-down menu.
(Optional) Set up a custom channel to track your ad unit. Find out more about custom channels.
In the "Backup ads" section, leave the drop-down menu set to "Show blank space" (the default) unless you’d like to show something else if Google has no targeted ads available. Find out more about backup ads.
Click Save and get code.
In the "Ad code" box that opens:
Leave the code type set to "Asynchronous" (the default), unless you want to use synchronous ad code. Find out more about asynchronous ad code.
If you've chosen to create a responsive ad unit, you won't see the Code type drop-down menu in the "Ad code" box. Responsive ad units only use asynchronous ad code.
Select the ad code by clicking it. You'll see the ad code highlighted in blue.
Copy all of the ad code, e.g. press Ctrl+C (Windows) or ⌘+C (Mac).
Where to paste the ad code in your HTML:
It's important that you paste the ad code between the <body> and </body> tags of your page. If you paste the ad code outside the <body> tags it will prevent your ads from appearing correctly.
Example HTML page before the ad code has been added
<html> <head> This is the head of your page. <title>Example HTML page</title> </head> <body> This is the body of your page. </body> </html>
Example HTML page with the ad code added in the body
<html> <head> This is the head of your page. <title>Example HTML page</title> </head> <body> This is the body of your page. <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- Homepage Leaderboard --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1234567890123456" data-ad-slot="1234567890"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </body> </html>
Note that this is sample code only, so please don't use it in your own site's code.
Positioning the ads on your site with HTML
Just like the other elements of your site (images, paragraphs, etc.), you can change the position of your Google ads by using HTML tags (<div>, <table>, etc.). For example, if you surround your ad code with the HTML tags <div align="center"> and </div>, your ads will appear in the centre of your page.
<html> <head> This is the head of your page. <title>Example HTML page</title> </head> <body> This is the body of your page. <div align="center"> <script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script> <!-- Homepage Leaderboard --> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-1234567890123456" data-ad-slot="1234567890"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script> </div> </body> </html>
Note: that this is sample code only, so please don't use it in your own site's code.
Paste the ad code in your page:
Once you've copied the ad code from your AdSense account, the next step is to paste it in your page’s HTML source code. How you go about this will depend on the tools that you use to edit your site.
Before adding the ad code to your page, please make sure that your page complies with the AdSense programme policies. If your page doesn't comply with these policies, we reserve the right to disable ad serving to your site and/or disable your AdSense account at any time.
HTML editors
Many publishers use a design-enhanced HTML editor like Macromedia Dreamweaver (also know as WYSIWYG or "what you see is what you get" software). To ensure your ads work properly, make sure that you paste the ad code into the HTML source code of your page using the editor's HTML view or HTML insert function. You might see errors if you paste your ad code into a WYSIWYG view such as a "Design" view. Once you've pasted your code, check for any additional tags inserted by the software or changes in the line breaks, as they might cause your ads not to show correctly.
If you can't find the HTML source code of your page in your editor, please visit the help centre or support group for your HTML editing software.
Content management systems (CMS)
If you're using a content management system, check below to see if your CMS has AdSense built in or if it supports a plugin that can help you to implement your AdSense ad code.
The following content management systems (CMS) use third-party plugins to insert AdSense ads on the pages generated by the system. Google does not endorse or support these plugins. However, you can use these plugins as long as the ad code displayed on your page remains unchanged and isn't altered by the plugin in any way.
If you need assistance with a plugin, then please visit the official support forum of your service or the developer of the plugin. Please note that Google is not responsible for malicious third-party plugins.
If you have trouble implementing AdSense with a specific content management system, we recommend searching for the name of the CMS (e.g. Drupal, WordPress, etc.) and "AdSense implementation". You can also ask in the forum if other publishers have mastered similar problems, or contact your programme provider directly.
Link Google Analytics and AdWords : Linking a Google Analytics property to your AdWords account can help you analyze customer activity on your website after an ad click or impression. This information can shed light on how much of your website traffic or business comes from AdWords, and help you improve your ads and website.
This article will show you how to link your accounts, or how to edit or unlink Google Analytics properties.
Before you begin
To link AdWords and Google Analytics, or to unlink or edit your link, you’ll need to use a Google Account with the following permissions to Google Analytics and AdWords:
To check your permissions, in Google Analytics, click Admin at the top of the page, select the property you want to link, and click User Management. If you don’t see “User Management” in the property column, ask your account administrator if you have “Edit” permissions.
Click the gear menu (), then select Linked accounts.
Under "Google Analytics," click View details. You'll see a list of Google Analytics properties to which you have access. (If you don't see an Analytics property here, make sure you have "Edit" permission to that property.)
Click Set up link next to the property you want to link to AdWords. Choose a property for the business you advertise with AdWords. (You'll be able to link more than one.) If you've already linked a property, you'll see "Edit" instead of "Set up link."
Now you'll see one of the two screens described below:
If the property you chose only has one view, you'll see the name of that view. Select Import site metrics to be able to see Google Analytics data in AdWords reports. (To add this data to your reports, you’ll also need to follow the instructions to add Google Analytics columns to your AdWords reports.)
If the property has multiple views, you'll see a list of the views from this property that you can link. There are two settings:
Link: Link as many views as you'd like. This will make AdWords click and cost data available in Analytics, and Analytics goals and transactions available for import into AdWords.
Import site metrics: (Recommended) Choose one view from which to import site engagement metrics. While this is optional, we recommend choosing one view that will be used to show site engagement metrics in the Google Analytics reporting columns of your account.
If your AdWords account is used by an AdWords manager account (MCC) that has linked to this property, you'll also see a column showing which views are linked to that manager account.
Click Save.
You can repeat this process for any additional properties you want to link.

As of writing this post Facebook has 1.44 billion monthly active users, Twitter has 302 million and Instagram has 300 million. With so many people spending so much time on social, it’s becoming one of the most important channels for brands to utilize in order to engage with their current and prospective customers. One of the best ways to do that is with a social media management tool.
Sure, Sprout Social may be the company behind this massive list of digital marketing tools, but we’re also some of its biggest users and brand advocates.
Sprout is a social media management and engagement platform for business that makes it easy for brands to effectively engage with current customers and prospective customers. Come and see what we’re all about with a free 30-day trial.
Offerpop is an engagement marketing platform with a focus on garnering engagement via user-generated content, hashtag campaigns, referral programs, quizzes, contests, and more. They’re focused on transforming the way that global brands engage and convert today’s mobile and social consumers.
Paid Social Media Tools
Social media sites aren’t just great for organically reaching and engaging with your customers; they’re also effective for paying to promote your brand to large groups of active users. The major social networks have so much data on their users that targeting can become extremely granular and effective, which makes social an ideal place to pay for impressions.
Nanigans is a multichannel advertising software with an emphasis on Facebook marketing. Its software has access to the Facebook Exchange (FBX) for retargeting and a plethora of other tools that make targeting more efficient. Nanigans is the tool of choice for companies such as eBay, JackThreads and Zynga.
The Power Editor is Facebook’s own tool for creating and running advertising campaigns. Facebook is constantly improving its ad platform, and the tool frequently releases new targeting and budgeting features for users. For marketers just starting on the paid social front, this is probably the best choice as there is no third-party fee to create and manage your advertisements.
Twitter is another major network brands should consider paying to advertise on. Twitter has some fantastic features for targeting, with segmentation functionality that includes the ability to target certain keywords so that whenever someone Tweets out, or engages with a tweet, using that key phrase they’ll be targeted.
Email Marketing Tools
The first email was sent way back in 1971, so it’s kind of strange to think of how big a part email still plays in our online marketing strategies. But even though it may be one of the oldest marketing channels, it is by no means one of the most ineffective. In fact, it was predicted that email marketing would be the top target for increased investment in 2015, which is why you should look into email marketing software for your business.
With over eight million people using MailChimp every day, it’s one of the most powerful email marketing platforms on the market. MailChimp’s incredibly simplistic platform structure and freemium plan make it easy for even some of the most amateur email marketers to get setup with robust email campaigns.
Emma—also a fun abbreviation for email marketing—is a strong platform that backs up its powerful features with a notoriously hands-on customer service team. Emma has all of the tools that you need to start creating and testing your own email marketing campaigns.

Although email is a large facet of its business it is by no means the only part of the tool. Marketo allows you to combine email into your entire automated marketing campaigns.
Display Retargeting Tools
Have you ever gone to a website, left without purchasing anything, only to be followed around by that company’s advertisements all around the web? These are retargeting ads, and even if you haven’t heard of them there’s a good chance that you’ve been targeted by them in the past. This channel is incredibly efficient for getting customers back to your site to make a purchase or become a lead.
AdRoll is one of the most well known names in the retargeting space, boasting a customer base of over 20,000 brands. Its platform grants access to over 500 ad exchanges, which includes most of the major social media networks. It offers a self-service platform, but you can also leverage its employees for additional help if you need it.
ReTargeter is a tool that uses site retargeting, search retargeting and dynamic retargeting. You can use ReTargeter as a self-service platform, or you can pass all of your campaigns onto an account team to run your retargeting for you. You can use these search services à la carte or combine several into a custom package.
Chango is an award-winning display advertising platform with robust retargeting features. With Chango you can combine your own retargeting information with audience intent data that Chango accumulates, which adds a second layer of targeting to your campaigns.
Programmatic Advertising Tools
Programmatic advertising refers to the use of software to automate the purchase of media from both online and offline channels. Two of the largest benefits of using programmatic media buying solutions are that you can reduce the time you spend finding the best networks to advertise on, and you gain access to the plethora of data that most of these companies have access to.
ChoiceStream’s technology is able to process a ton of audience data and discern which of it is actually useful knowledge for brands. ChoiceStream then uses that information to properly target ads to your audiences it knows will be a good fit, boosting the relevance of your ads to your targets.
Rocket Fuel is a popular tool with a feature called Moment Scoring. Moment Scoring uses anonymous user data to calculate how likely someone is to respond to your advertisement, then uses that information to decide when and where to serve your ads. Rocket Fuel offers both a self-service platform and managed services.
Simpli.fi differentiates itself by being able to take complete advantage of unstructured audience data. This means that–unlike some other tools on the market–Simpli.fi doesn’t need to rely on pre-made audience segments to categorize audience data, which can be a big advantage when working with a lot of data.
Website Testing Tools
The smallest changes can make the biggest differences when it comes to getting people to convert on your landing pages. Changing the color of your call-to-action button can spell the difference between getting someone to start a free trial of your product, and bouncing from your site. That’s why it’s important to use website testing tools to constantly innovate your pages.
Unbounce is an amazing tool for quickly building, tweaking and publishing new landing pages to test. One of the most fantastic features of Unbounce is how easy it is to use the platform to create brand new pages. Even if you’re not much of a designer, you can use some of the templates available as a jumping off point, then tweak them to fit your style.
Maxymiser is a tool that goes beyond landing page testing. This enterprise-level software solution was built to test all sorts of portions of your website, and to run several different tests all at once.

Optimizely combines tools for visual creation and robust targeting into its platform, making it easy to quickly create and target tests to the proper groups of users. The company also has a formidable amount of partners to make it easier to centralize customer data for your various tests.
Video Hosting Sites
It seems like video has recently become the next big content powerhouse brands are taking advantage of, and with so much effort needed to create videos it’s important to make sure you get as many eyeballs on them as possible. A solid way to do that is to host them on some of the popular video sites which draw in large crowds of viewers.
We’ve worked with Wistia on content in the past, and the company is such a fantastic group of individuals. Not only does the team rock, but the platform is amazing for business looking to host, customize and share videos across the web. One of the best functions of its platform is the ability to include a custom CTA at the end of each individual video, making it easy to drive viewers to specific pages.
There are over 20 million people and businesses that trust Vimeo to host their high-definition, ad-free videos. With Vimeo, the idea is to get everyone to host some of their high-quality videos on the site, thereby driving viewers who are looking for visually stunning videos. Take a look at the sample below to see the type of quality content they collect.
Content Creation Tools
We all know that content is king, which is why it’s so important to start creating some of your own to share with your fans and followers. With so many different content formats out there—infographics, blogs, videos–the biggest question is which type of content can you create that will resonate with your audience. We’ve recently created a list of 36 free image creation tools which includes a ton of different tools, but here are some of our favorites.
A great way to make sure your online content stands out is to include an image, but sourcing images that satiate the unique requirements for each social network can be tough. We aimed to solve that problem with our new social media image resizing tool Landscape. Quickly turn one image into multiple, each perfectly sized for the social media networks you’re using.
If you don’t already have an image to resize, try using Canva, a web-based design tool you can use to create unique images to share on your blogs, social networks and more. You can use Canva to create completely unique images from scratch or to polish up some photos that you already have on han.
If you don’t have the time or artistic flair to create your own pieces of content, then you can use a tool like Visual.ly. Visual.ly is a platform that pairs those who need content up with those who can create it. The site charges a flat rate for each type of project, which includes Infographics, eBooks and video.
Content Curation Tools
We constantly need to fill our content calendars if we’re going to satiate the growing need to share actionable insights with our fans and followers. However, we don’t always have the time to put together something unique for every post we create. That’s why it’s good to have some content curation tools on hand to help you fill up those lulls in your calendar.
With Feedly you choose all of the different blogs, publications and topics that you’re interested in and Feedly aggregates all of the recent topics from those people or about those topics into a feed you can monitor. You can integrate your Feedly feed with a tool like Sprout Social to continuously share these articles with your fans and followers.

Kapost is a platform that takes into account every step of the content marketing cycle. One fantastic function is the ability to assign different pieces of content different buyer personas, which shows which stages of the content marketing cycle your prospects are most likely to convert on.
Website Analytics Tools
Many tools out there come with their own performance analytics. For instance, Sprout Social has social media analytics that show how your content performs on a variety of social platforms. However, it’s important to keep an eye on the data about events that actually take place on your website.

Try one of these customer service tools to streamline your customer service process and to ensure you’re responding to all of your inbound messages.

Affiliate Marketing Tools
Affiliate marketing is the idea of having regular people advocate your brand to drive sales; all you have to do is pay them a percentage of every sale that they generate. It’s an effective channel because people tend to trust friends and brand advocates more than they trust a company when it comes to selling. Plus, you only pay for the sales that they generate.
CJ is one of the most popular choices for advertisers looking to get their product picked up and sold by publishers. CJ has one of the largest networks of bloggers and its self-service platform makes it easy to scale your affiliate marketing efforts.
VigLink is an incredible tool for affiliate marketing. The site has a massive database of content provided by publishers which they scan in real-time and add links to relevant keywords they find. The use of this type of contextual advertising makes it much easier to drive sales.
Rakuten is similar to VigLink, except that it advocates long-term relationships between brands and their affiliate. Long-term relationships with your partners helps to build trust and knowledge of your product, which in turn makes it easier for those individuals to sell it.
