Getting Started With Blogger
Want to get up and running with AdSense really fast?
One way is to open an account at Blogger.com. Blogger is like those old free websites that you could set up in a flash but which looked like they’d been cobbled together from bits of left-over graphics that no one else wanted.
Except that the blog you create at Blogger.com is the real McCoy. It’s professional, it looks great and it takes just seconds to put together. All you have to do is choose a name and title for your blog, take your pick of the good range of templates available and get writing.
You don’t have to worry about coding or design work or images or anything else. If you change your mind about the way your blog looks, you can just pick a different template. All that’s left for you to do is write and add AdSense. Even that’s been made easy for you.
Blogger.com lets you apply for AdSense directly from its site. It even gives you a preview of where your ads will appear and how they will look. While you’re waiting for your approval, you can play with fonts and colors so that you’re all set up and ready to start earning. Of course, once you’ve done that, there are all sorts of ways to play with the layout and content. You can easily move the ads into the sidebar by clicking the Template tab and looking for the line that says:
<!-- Begin #sidebar -->
<div id="sidebar"><div id="sidebar2">
Just paste the AdSense code directly beneath it. But that’s certainly not all. In Chapter 11, I explain lots of different, advanced strategies that you can use to maximize your AdSense earnings on your blog. You should certainly use them but more important is that you make a start.With Blogger.com, you can do that in seconds. It’s a great way to get started, but you should think of it as blogging with training wheels. After a bit you’ll want to move to your own domain so you can really pick up speed!
