How to add google adsense to your blog

I've never placed adsense on blogger before and I figured I would write a bit about it to help anyone who is starting a blog.

1. Open a Google AdSense account (if you haven't already) and click the tab My Ads
2. Click new ad unit
3. Follow the steps on the page.  You might want to add a channel in case you place adsense on other pages so you can track where your earnings are coming from
4. Click Save and get code
5. Copy the HTML code to your clipboard
6. Open up Blogger and go to your dashboard
7. Click the Design tab in the blog management panel
8. Click on one of the Add a Gadget links where you want to place this ad.  Popular spots are directly under the header and in the menu on the side of the blog
9. Leave the Title box blank, and paste the code into the Content box
10. Click Save

That's all you need to do to get your adsense ads on your blog.  Good luck!
