Google
AdSense & HubPages
Google AdSense is the easiest affiliate program to set up on HubPages and can be an excellent source of revenue for those that write successful hubs. Before setting up Google AdSense with your HubPages account, we recommend you read the following overview
of how the program works.
How Do I Sign-Up for
Adsense?
Google Adsense has made it so simple to sign-up. We
recommend that all Hubbers sign-up for Google Adsense. If you
don't sign-up, HubPages can't split impressions with you and you don't get paid! There are two scenarios for signing up for Google Adsense: If you already have an
Google Adsense account and if you're a new Google Adsense
member. Both scenarios are described below.
I already have a Google AdSense Publisher ID!
Adding it to HubPages is easy...
- Go to our Affiliate Sign Up page.
- Click the "get started" button next to
Google AdSense (or just click here). - Check the "yes" radio button after the
question: "Do you already have a Google AdSense Account?" - To verify with Google Google AdSense that you are the owner of your Google AdSense Publisher ID account you need to enter your email address (the one you use to access your
Google AdSense account), the last five digits of your phone, and your postal/zip
code. - There is no need to enter your actual Google AdSense
Publisher ID. Google will know what that is by these three forms of identification. - Once you click on "Link My Accounts" HubPages is able to place the ads on HubPages automatically on your behalf (you won't need to touch any code or do anything once you have Google AdSense active on HubPages)-you must simply make sure that you have followed the
confirmation instructions that you'll get by email from Google. To make sure that HubPages has access to your Google AdSense account, you can visit you Google AdSense account and check the "Account Access" section under the "Account" tab.
I need to sign up for Google AdSense!
If you don't
already have an Google AdSense Publisher ID, you can apply for one after you've published a few quality hubs. For certain countries your account must also be established for at least 6 months before you will be approved (you can view all specific eligibility requirements here).
Google is selective in who they approve, so to maximize your chance of acceptance, please be sure that your presence on HubPages includes substantial, original content before you apply. Also make sure you have a completed user profile and profile image uploaded. Quality is more important than quantity
- Go to our Affiliate Sign Up page.
- Click the "get started" button next to Google AdSense (or just click here).
- Check the "no" radio button after the
question: "Do you already have a Google AdSense Account?" - Then you will need to nominate an email address you own to become your Google AdSense Account Email Address (if you already have a Google Account
that you use with other Google services, we'd suggesting using that). - Google will send you an email requesting a bit more information from you to get your Google AdSense account set up. In that email you will be asked to click a link to finish setting up your Google AdSense
account. - On completion you will be taken to the Affiliate Settings page. Here you can enter your affiliate account
codes. Keep in mind that all codes will need to be entered EXCEPT your Google AdSense code - that will be entered automatically.
Setting Up Google AdSense
Channel for HubPages
Once you've been approved and your Google AdSense Publisher ID has been added under your HubPages affiliate settings, you need to be able to track your earnings through your Google AdSense account.
It takes only four clicks to make it happen!
Once you've logged into your Google AdSense account click on 'Google AdSense Setup'.
- Underneath that click on 'Channels'.
- A little further down click on 'URL
channels'. - Click on 'Add new URL channels',
- Type inhubpages.com. Make sure it's
ONLYhubpages.com you don't need in the www(if you put in the www it won't work). - Click on 'Add channels'.
- Done!
