I started a crazy nitche blog on wordpress. I have never used wordpress and don't understand it at all. I have gotten about 1000 visits since the 21st of this month (3.5 days) but have no adsense and cant figure out where the fricken pages are to add the plugins. I have 23 pages on google already. I got this sequenced set of submissions that always get me picked up quick. I am use to blogger but it seems like wordpress draws traffic way easier, maybe i am just thinking it works better because its new??? i don't know because i can nad traffic in blogger too. But wordpress is new to me and i need help. Q. I need to know kind of simply, How do you upload plugins to wordpress? Is there a standard "admin" Url? Is there a button or tab that i am over looking in dashboard? Please help, i think i can pwn on wordpress because it just seems to deliver better seo and marketing. Thanks whoever tells me. 4 days 985+ in traffic, 23 pages in google. For me thats kik4ss.
Adding adsense is pretty easy - copy and paste the code where you want the ads to appear. If you want a 120*600 skyscraper to appear in your sidebar at the bottom: <script type="text/javascript"><!-- google_ad_client = "pub-X"; google_ad_width = 120; google_ad_height = 600; google_ad_format = "120x600_as"; google_ad_type = "text_image"; google_ad_channel =""; //--></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> would be copied to this location in the default style sidebar.php: </ul> </li> <?php } ?> <-----paste it there </ul> </div> You can experiment with various places If you want the ad right at the top of the whole page: <body> <-----paste the code there <div id="page"> If you want the ad at the bottom of your posts: </div> <-----paste the code there <?php get_sidebar(); ?> The above is all fairly basic. But what if you wanted an ad to only appear under the first post and nowhere else ? Open your theme index.php, and find this line: <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> Immediately above that, paste this: <?php $postnum = 1; $showadsense1 = 1; ?> That's part one of the code - the value. Staying in index.php, scroll down to this part: <p class="postmetadata">Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p> </div> <----- Note this gap ! <?php endwhile; ?> Into that gap, you paste this: <?php if ($postnum == $showadsense1) { echo ' Your adsense code goes here '; } ?> <?php $postnum++; ?> You put ALL your code, plus the bit at either end, into the gap I pointed at. The 'value' is where to show the post. The bottom part checks to see what the number is and when the number matches, it puts the ad on the screen. So if you made $showadsense1 = 3; in both locations, the ad would appear only after the 3rd ad.
You need to upload your plugins in the wp-content->plugins folder. The long in to your wp-admin and click on the "plugins" tab. From here you can activate them and voila! Btw, you mentioned article submission, but could you tell us your other crazy marketing secrets? PS: Wrong section, but thread reported to be moved.
I thought the adsense plugin wasn't allowed to be use with wordpress ? I thought I read that some where, am I wrong?
check this out and if you have any questions just message me here or comment and your queries will be answered
You can use a plugin like Adsense Manger in WorPress. I use it and it's really easy to use + you can use other advertisers code in it as well. It's not banned, there was an issue where the writer of the plugin was banned from adsense but all that is resolved now.
I could code it if if i could find where. I cant even figure out where or how to cop out and put the plugins. I found a page under the presentation that lets me see wigets. Do i have to pay to have html control? I say the 15 credit to code thing in there. I really do not have a start place. If it was blogger it would be done but wordpress seems to be a much better platform? Either way i cant figure out how to add the adsense. Maybe someone could tell me how to get to the upload? pages or the admin/ page. Is there a prefix url or what. I really am lost. I guess i need the fundamentals of how to get to a place where all this will become apparent. A control panel, upload panel, template folder.... something. ill watch for an answer. I am so p.o'd today, my longtime girl just bought a new car just because they sent her a drag/pull/push advertisement in the mail/ She will fall for any marketing. We even have a 2000 dollar kirby vacuum. I'd laugh if it wasnt me involved. Thanks in advance.
Wordpress is full of awesome plugins - make sure you do a google search for Wordpress Plugins - great sites with great tools.
Host your own wordpress blog, dont use the wordpress.com hosting. Wordpress sucks big time when you're remotely hosted by others. Host it yourself and you can unlock full capabilities of wordpress. BTW, if you're hosted by wordpress.com, there is no way you can upload any plugins etc.
The question is how do you upload? I know how to go to the Plugin Management tab in admin. It doesn't specific how you upload? Is there a place you can click to upload plugins-just as you do for photos?
go to your ftp and go to wp-content>>plugins and then upload the file or folder. When you download the plugin you should get some sort of readme with it as well...
