Title: Google Adsense Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Google Adsense * [liveforachange](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liveforachange/) * (@liveforachange) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-adsense-3/) * Does anyone know how to paste Google Adsense HTML into their WordPress Blog. I am very new to all of this and although I know “how” to copy and paste, I don’t know “where” to paste the HTML and whether I need to do anything else after I have pasted it. So far I have pasted it into the HTML Source Editor but it comes up as HTML on the Blog page!!!!

My blog was set up by a web designer so I have only used the Dashboard * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-adsense-3/#post-484813) * Well, if you want to be the “webmaster” of your site + you want to make money of it… you should learn the basics of working with files, FTP etc. There is no other way. Or pay you designer for “maintanence”. * Thread Starter [liveforachange](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liveforachange/) * (@liveforachange) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-adsense-3/#post-484814) * So are you saying I will be unable to do this myself – that my web designer will have to do it? * [Dgold](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dgold/) * (@dgold) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-adsense-3/#post-484815) * Go to where your Dashboard is, under WP-Admin. * Click on Presentation > Themes > Theme Editor > Sidebar.php * Paste your AdSense code somewhere in there & click Save. * Always make a back-up of your theme before you make changes in the template code. * [xinfo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/xinfo/) * (@xinfo) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-adsense-3/#post-484913) * yaa do as Dgold said before that via ftp chmod your theme file * [hops](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hops/) * (@hops) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-adsense-3/#post-484916) * Livefor –Before you just drop that adsense code into your sidebar.php, make sure to not disrupt the ` structure you have in your sidebar list. It really is not hard to avoid, but you might want to read up on where to slap code. Do a search in the wiki on edting sidebars. * Generally though, you want to place your adsense code between repeating segments( nested lists) that look something like this * ` * POST YOUR ADSENSE Code HERE * ` Make sure to do it well before the , and preferably post it up against one of the nested lists as noted above. * Play around with the code location by cutting and pasting. * ALSO, If it’s not already part of the adsense code, at the start and end of what they give you, for new folks its usually helpful to add comments identifing the start and end of their code as follows so you don’t lose it. (it’s hard as a newbie to recall what was there and wasn’t before you edit) * `` {adsense code here} `` * Thread Starter [liveforachange](https://wordpress.org/support/users/liveforachange/) * (@liveforachange) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-adsense-3/#post-484927) * Thanks for the suggestions – will give it a try. I am also interested in using amazon links. Do these go into the HTML editor on the specific page??
