Before you go and start adding adsense to your website, you should understand that the thousand to 10 thousand dollar paycheck days from adsense are over. You will no longer be sitting around, waiting on fed-ex to come over and deliver your huge Adsense checks. Today, you will be more likely to earn about $20 to $200 dollars a month, if you’re lucky. So the choice is yours if you want to subject your customers to ads on your website that result in potentially little to no income.
Another thing to consider is, you could be sending people away from your website to other competitors, and as such this could drive people away from your site, and away from your products and services. Not to mention that you could turn off your readers who hate seeing ads. If you’re using another ad network on your website, or currently charge advertisers to advertise on your website, they might not like seeing Google ads on your site. Not only that, but why would the advertisers want to pay you 500‑1000 dollars a month to advertise on your website, when they can pay Google to advertise on your website for 20–30 cents a click?
Ok, I Want To Add Adsense, How Do I Do It?
The best way to add Adsense to your blog is to use a plugin. The plugin I highly recommend can be downloaded . Once you download the plugin, unzip it and upload it to your blog. Then login to your dashboard and activate the plugin. Then you need to input your Google Adsense ID, set the color, and position of your ads and then you’re done. A good thing to keep in mind is if you’re writing a post (like a product review) and you do not want to show ads for other products or websites, you can use the following line of code in your post (<!–noadsense–>), and no ads will show up on that post.

Conclusion
I hope you have enjoyed this article, and determined if adding Adsense to your site is the best thing for you. It can’t really hurt to see if it works or not, and you can always disable it if you want. The number one thing to always remember is, as with everything, TEST, TEST, TEST. Then see how adding Adsense to your site affects your site.
Do you loose more visitors, do you have a higher bounce rate? Are your visitors clicking the ads? Are the ads relevant? Are they annoying? Adsense works great in some markets, and works terribly in others. You never really know until you test. Another thing to keep in mind is, some time down the road, it may be worth testing again.
As your site grows larger, you reach a new audience, you create a new design, etc, etc. Another thing to consider is adding the Adsense code manually to your template. A good place to do that would be right above the comments, that way when the reader reaches the end of your article, they will then see the ad.
