Having very newly waded into the world of WordPress, I need some help on something that is probably very simple!
The WP Theme allows for ads, but is asking to insert an image path for the banner, and link for the banner.
I have created a banner, but where do I get the paths? Is it the same as the code or the id?
Is there a simpler way to do this?
Any help gratefully received!
hmm, I have no idea what the "WP Theme" is , perhaps the wordpress theme that now comes as default with new installs , which I think is called 2010 (twenty ten)?
You do not have the options that your theme is asking for with adsense - adsense is served with javascript, your theme is requesting a image path (link to where your image is stored) and the destination link.
Your easiest solution is this plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adsense-manager/
I know it says it has changed to "advertsing manager" but I never did the upgrades on any of my sites that used this plugin , so I cant recommend it - adsense manager is super easy to use and configure.
You could also find a more adsense centered theme or learn how to add and change your base theme files so that adsense appears where you want.
The plugin is your quickest solution though.(livewithrichard suggests some good plugins here : wordpress niche blogger
You can still use your current theme, just get some aff relationships that actually use banner ads - for example Google Affiliate Network or some of these:(http://hubpages.com/hub/Top-Ten-Affilia … h-Hubpages)
Thanks sunforged for a very thorough answer - I will install the plugin that you have suggested and see how it goes and will read livewithrichard's suggestions
Hope you have a very Happy Christmas!

Decided today to rethink my writing strategy (more of that later). I have now set up my own article site. I did consider doing a few niche ones but my interests tend to be pretty eclectic so I'm keeping them on one site.I've succesfully installed the twenty ten theme but there are two things I'm...

For those of you who have experience with Wordpress websites or blogs, what is the best advice you would give to someone just getting started? Do you put ads on it from the start? Do you prefer pages or posts? Just any kind of advice that maybe you learned along the way.

I've taken the plunge and got my own domain to host a new blog. It's going to be called Writers Biographies. I'm using Wordpress. Can anyone suggest any plug-ins you think I should add? I have added Akismeht and Google analytics so far.

I'm wanting to monetize my website/blog with my Adsense account. I'm using wordpress and using a theme I bought; on the page to place the ads, it's saying to paste my Adsense code: Is this code my publisher ID or something else?

I am a common sense technical person, not a fricken programmer! I liked blogger because all I had to do was click on a button, add my adsense account ID and bingo, the adds appear.Now with Wordpress on my website, the clean, nice layout themes require that you copy & paste codes into the...
