Once your AdSense application has been approved, you can follow this
guide to get started with AdSense right away. The steps below will help
you add an AdSense ad unit to your site.
1. Sign into your account and choose the AdSense Setup tab.
On the Get Ads
page, click the AdSense
for Content link to create a standard Google ad unit.
2. Next, select the ad
type. Since you'll be creating a standard ad unit,
choose the Ad Unit
radio button. To enable
the widest selection of ads to display on your pages,
leave the drop-down set to "Text
and image ads (default)".
3. Now, take a moment to customize
your ads so they'll match the look and feel of your site. Select the size
you'd like from one of our different ad formats, keeping in mind that larger and wider ad units tend to
perform better. (Get tips
on picking a format.)
4. Next, select colors
for your ads. You choose one of our predefined color
palettes or create your own. You can view a sample of how the ads will
look based on the colors you've selected. You might

5. If you're interested in tracking the performance of your ad unit,
you can add a channel.
Channels provide more reports for the performance of specific
ad units. If you haven't created a channel yet, you can skip this step
by clicking Continue.
6. Next you'll be prompted to name your AdSense ad unit. This will
allow you to change the appearance or settings of your ad easily
through your account in the future, so select a name that will allow
you to easily identify this AdSense unit later. For more information
about this feature, check out our guide to Managing your Ads. Click "Submit and Get Code" button.
7. Finally, Google will provide you with the ad code for your AdSense ad
unit.
Click anywhere inside the grey box to select the code, then
right-click and select copy. You can now paste the code into the HTML
source code of your site.
For details and assistance adding the code to
your pages, we recommend you review the Code Implementation guide.
