I want to place ads directly on the page instead of the sidebar of my wordpress blog. How can I do that?
I appreciate your response but that is not telling me much (I am very new to this). Are you saying that I need to go into sidebar.php and place the ad code which will result in the ad being displayed directly on the particular page? Why the sidebar? Wont this result in my ad being in the sidebar instead of on the page?
do you mean you want to place a tower ads instead of your sidebar? just open your sidebar.php and add your ads
If you want to place ads in content, appearing on main page then you would need to edit index.php located in your theme folder. If you would like to insert ads in single post page then you would to edit single.php. Same for sidebar. Now it's up to you where you would like ads to appear.
There is an easier way to add advertisements to your Wordpress blog sidebar without editing any files. On the Navigation menu on the left click 'Appearance' then 'Widgets'. After that's loaded simply add a new 'Text Widget' to your sidebar and edit it's content. The content can be html/javascript, etc. So if it's Adsense, simply add your code in and then save. Simple.
