How does one put up his own ADSENSE account on a Blogger Blog?

Can anyone shed light on this and if it is worth while to do this, also how to promote these blogs as a tool to promote your other sites if you have any advice on this.

By blogger blog you mean those free blogs that google has?

Yes, Shawn has one and so does VS and they have customized the hell out of them plus they link to them right from the forum in their signature recent blog link :o

My Co-op FAQ is one too.

Just paste it in the template I guess. They have extensive FAQs so it must be there but I worked with the templates and it's pretty easy to get code in there.

As far as promoting it goes, I think blogs are 95% down to quality (amusing/enjoyable/educative/interesting) content.

Copy the code that Google provide you with for the adsense block, then simply paste it into the template on the blogger backend.

If you are having trouble, let me know and I'll chuck it in for you.

How do you do that TOPS :confused: I have an old Blog that I started in 2003 but never did anything with it, I logged in to comment on SE's blog and found it was still there and want to play with it a bit.

I don't even know how to get into the template man :o :D

There is a tab that says template when you click on the actual blog title in the dashboard.

It's fairly straightforward...

You can put adsense AC, just edit the template in dream weaver, pu the ad code where you want to see them.

I think it is same promotion techniques that you will need for normal sites. Infact there are some specific blog sites helping you to promote your blogs.(blogexplosion)

Change the template file, look for:
<!-- Begin #main - Contains main-column blog content -->

your ads go here

<!-- Begin .post -->

Not all blog templates are the same.

It also depends on where exactly he wants the ads to sit.

Okay, didn't know that.. I assumed blogger templates where all the same.

No. They do vary a bit although I'm 99% sure that all the default templates are all pure CSS driven.

Now if you were using WordPress, you'd find that nearly all of the WP blogs are actually using the same HTML but only changing styles to make the design change...

It's the best way to do it IMO.

Yeah but your seo-dev site is a Blogger/Google site SE :confused:
SEbasic

It is indeed and it drives me nuts...

There are so many features missing from the blogger engine that are there as standard in 90% of the other blogging engines.

Trackbacks are one of my biggest gripes, but to be honest the biggest issue I have with the blogger engine is that you are kind of reliant upon the blogger servers in order to make any new posts.

I actually tried to reply to your comment a few times now but it just won't publish...

If this were wordpress then it'd be a sinch...

They are having server problems SE, I tried to update my profile and it was lost to an error page (database error maybe) :confused:
SEbasic

Maybe...

But that's exactly what I'm saying is the issue.

If it were my servers, I'd call the host and verbally abuse him until the issue was solved.
(Only paid hosts though)...

In this instance there's nothing that can be done purely because it's a free service that isn't really designed to be a real money spinner for it's users.

It is making money for Google and the users SE, look at how folks cross promote all their sites with these blogs and put ADSENSE on these pages.

Have you seen these blogs come up high in the SERP's :confused:

Where is yours at in the SERP's :confused:
SEbasic
Apr 8th 2005, 10:27 am
Mine isn't as high as I would like...
I was quite heavily penalised for a few things I did on it.

Does well on Y and M though :rolleyes:

But yes. I know that there are sites that make money both for the users and for Google, but there is never any guarantee that the blogger servers will work at all.

That's my only point...

You should probably update your template to one of the newer ones. You can use mine if you want; http://blogamania.blogspot.com, although obviously you will have to adapt the code to your own profile, links, image storage, etc.

Post a link to your blog if you want to keep the same template and someone can tell you where you should drop the Adsense code into.

If that is the case I should just dump the old blog and start a new one, there is nothing there anyway.

This seems like more work than it might be worth for a non-coder :o

You should be able to create a new blog under the same account, but have a different subdomain. Example...my account redking lets me login and I can create blogs like, redkingpersonal.blogspot.com or redkingschool.blogspot.com.

I like the blogger software alot. You can create an account and change everything from the login name to the email associated with the account and the password (obviously). However, since Blogger got bought by Google and with the popularity of Adsense, blogger subdomains (xxx.blogspot.com) have grown really popular. Lots of good subdomains are taken by people looking for memorable names. Mememorable names = visited blogs = high adsense potential. If someone has a subdomain, they own it for life!

The only thing missing from the blogger software is the ability to have categories for your posts. I hope they add that soon!

Save yourself the headache of trying to do it yourself. Actually, it's not THAT hard, but I just got all the code off the Pre-Fabulous blog. They posted a template with adsense built right into blogger, so you can just copy, paste, add in your information (takes VERY basic html skills) and you are well on your way to making mad cash! WOO!
