An easy way to monetize your Joomla website is to add Google AdSense code to your web pages so that relevant ads appear on each page of your site and offer your visitors more options to find what they are looking for. You make a percentage of what the advertisers pay to Google for the click through and it is not difficult to do.
There are third party plug-ins for Joomla that will allow you to display ads from Google, but you may not wish to deal with another plug-in that may slow down your site, or may not have any developer support or might have conflicts with other extensions. This article will show you how to add ads from Google or any other similar type of ad.
This article assumes that you already have Joomla installed, you know how to access the administrator area, and that you have already set up a Google AdSense account and understand how to access the code to add to your site.
Before obtaining the code from Google, you should first determine where the ad will go on your site, will they be vertical or horizontal? Will they be large or small? Once you have decided this, obtain the code from Google and save it in a text file for future reference.
Next, log on to your Joomla administration back end and go to the "Extensions" menu and click on "Module Manager". Click on "New" and then choose "Custom HTML" from the next page. Now paste the code that you obtained from Google in to the "Custom Output" window and give the module a title that you will remember for future reference. Make sure "Show Title" is set to "No" and "Enabled" is set to "Yes".
Finally, you will want to choose the position you want the ads to appear in on your site and on which pages they will appear. This should have been thought out ahead of time when you were choosing the type of ad you were going to use. Click "Save", now the ads will appear on the pages you chose in their proper position.
