7 Best free WordPress Adsense plugins to boost revenue
Google Adsense and WordPress make the best pair for earning money through website monetization. To make the best out of Adsense, you need to place ads properly on your website. If you place ads somewhere at places, where your audience hardly reaches, then there is no use of adsense.
You might be aware of Google Adsense has a feature for placing advertisements on the website on its own. It is called Google Auto ads.
What’s special with this Google Auto ads?
You just need to place one code in your header and Google will take care of the placement. That looks cool, right?
But, what’s the downside of Auto ads?
Google Auto ads will be placing advertisements in random locations based on various experiments. If you want an adsense ad permanently on the sidebar, say, you want to place it with a matching background color, then you need to tell Google Adsense that you want an advertisement to be placed on your own style apart from the ads displayed by auto ads.
To do this, you need to create ad codes at the Google Adsense dashboard and then place the code in the location where you want.
If you are using WordPress, then we must make use of the numerous Adsense plugins available for this purpose.
What if your website does not have to Google Adsense Approval?
If you are one among the million Bloggers who don’t have access to Google Adsense, you don’t have to worry. It is one of the well known facts, getting a Google Adsense approval is very tough. But, that is not the end of website monetization.
You can still monetize your website content with Google Adsense Alternatives. You can earn almost an equivalent amount of what you will earn through Google Adsense.
In this article, wherever I mention placing Google Adsense code, you can place your ad code from other ad networks. Apart from one or two plugins, the rest will work fine.
