How to Add AdSense Ads in Blogger After Approval - Auto vs Manual 2026

 

Approved! Post #133 done. Now add ads correctly. Wrong placement = low CPC $0.02, correct = $0.50+ in Monetization niche. Auto ads vs Manual - best is hybrid.

In Post #134, add ads for max earnings without hurting UX.

Step 1: Fix ads.txt (Must - Else Earnings 0)

1. AdSense → Sites → Your site → View ads.txt
2. Copy line: google.com, pub-1234567890, DIRECT, f08c47fec0942fa0
3. Blogger → Settings → Custom ads.txt → Enable → Paste → Save
4. Wait 24h → AdSense → Check ads.txt Authorized ✅

Step 2: Enable Auto Ads - But Limited

1. AdSense → Ads → Auto Ads → Edit site
2. Turn ON only: In-page ads, Multiplex ads (related posts ads)
3. Turn OFF: Anchor ads (bottom sticky), Vignette ads (full screen) - annoying, bounce rate high
4. Ad load: Set to Medium (not max - keeps speed)
5. Save → Auto ads code already in theme from Post #133 - no need add again

Step 3: Best Manual Placements - High CPC (Copy Paste)

Auto ads misses best spots. Add 3 manual ad units for 3x CTR.

Ad Unit 1: Inside Post - After 1st Paragraph (Highest CTR 5-8%)

1. AdSense → Ads → By ad unit → Display ads → Responsive → Create → Copy code
2. Blogger → Theme → Edit HTML → Find <data:post.body/>
3. Use Post #95 method - insert ad after 1st p tag via JS:

<!-- Ad after 1st para Post 134 -->
<script>
document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function(){
  var post = document.querySelector('.post-body');
  if(post){
    var p = post.querySelector('p');
    if(p){
      var ad = document.createElement('div');
      ad.innerHTML = `PASTE ADSENSE CODE HERE`;
      ad.style.margin='20px 0';
      p.parentNode.insertBefore(ad, p.nextSibling);
    }
  }
});
</script>

Ad Unit 2: Middle of Post - After Table / TOC (Second Highest)

Place ad after Post #122 table or Post #121 TOC manually in post HTML:

<div style="margin:20px 0;text-align:center;">PASTE ADSENSE CODE</div>

Ad Unit 3: End of Post - Before Comments (For Multiplex)

After post content, before comments box - high viewability.

Step 4: What NOT to Do - Policy Violations

Don't Do	Why?
More than 3 manual ads + auto ads on same page	AdSense limits 5 ads per page, more = policy violation
Place ad near image border Post #124 - looks like click image	Accidental click = invalid click = ban
Place ad inside gallery Post #126	Gallery click = ad click confusion
Click own ads or ask friends to click	Auto ban in 24h, lifetime

Step 5: Check Earnings After 48h

1. AdSense → Reports → Check RPM, CTR, CPC
2. Target for Monetization niche in India/USA traffic: RPM $5-15, CTR 3-5%, CPC $0.30-0.80
3. If RPM below $3 → Change placement: Move ad from sidebar to inside post (sidebar ads = low CPC)
