Third-party advertising can be added to your site through services like Google AdSense. While implementing ads, ensure compliance with Terms of Use and Acceptable Use Policy.

Adding Google AdSense to Your Site

1. Create a Google AdSense account
2. Choose between automatic or manual ad placement:

Automatic Placement:

Manual Placement:

1. Disable automatic ads in AdSense account
2. Create specific ad units
3. Copy the ad code
4. Insert code into Code Blocks at desired locations
5. Recommended starting points: sidebar or footer

  • Platform updates

Best Practices:

1. Test ads across multiple devices
2. Monitor ad performance regularly
3. Ensure ads don't disrupt user experience
4. Keep backup of original site layout
