Integrating Adsbygoogle.js
Step 1: Add the AdSense Code to Your Website
To add the AdSense code to your website, follow these steps:
- In your AdSense account, click on the "Ads" tab and then "Overview."
- Click on the "Set up AdSense" button.
- Choose the ad format you want to display on your website (e.g., display ads, in-feed ads, etc.).
- Copy the provided ad code.
- Paste the ad code into the HTML of your website where you want the ads to appear. The ad code should be placed inside the
<head>or<body>sections of your HTML.
The ad code will look like this:
<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
style="display:block"
data-ad-client="ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
data-ad-slot="XXXXXXXXXX"
data-ad-format="auto"
data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>
Replace the data-ad-client value with your publisher ID, and the data-ad-slot value with your ad unit ID.
Step 2: Verify Your Integration
After adding the ad code to your website, you can verify that the integration is working correctly by checking for ads on your website. It may take a few minutes for the ads to appear.
If you don't see any ads or receive an error message, review the Google AdSense Help Center for troubleshooting tips.
