Different forms of AdSense

AdSense for search are the ads that are Google’s own ads that you put on your blog or website. Under referrals you can chose products from Google’s list and advertise them on your website.

How to Go About It

Then you need to click on the AdSense set up tab. That will offer you three options: AdSense for content, search, and referrals. Depending on your need you need to click on the appropriate field. For instance, if it’s the content you want then upon clicking AdSense for content, you will be lead to a page – Choose Ad Type. This page offers you a choice of ‘Ad unit’ and ‘Link unit’. These terms are self explanatory and after choosing one from the two you will move to the next page – Choose Ad Format and Colors.

The next page is - Choose Ad Channels and the final page is –Ad code. Now Ad code is the thing that you have been looking for. This is a HTML code that is given by AdSense, which you need to copy and paste on your website exactly as it is.

You can filter out ads that you do not wish to be displayed by using the ‘Competitive Ad Filter’ tab in your AdSense account page. Now the stage is set.
