Does anybody have any insight as to how to add google adsense to a php based website. I am using dreamweaver and having a tough time...thanks for the help.
just create an ad on the adsense account, and put the code into the php page. nothing extra to be done. You can put the ad inside a table, if you want to specify your own height or style sheet. See my eg here: India Travel
tell us about the website and what type of php site it is, i am guessing you are talking about a blog, but then we need to know which blog type. if you have your own php site then it is no different to adding adsense to html
Go to the html/Code view in dreamweaver and paste the code inside a paragraph or td or span and then upload files to server (do not switch to design view before uploading)
