Inserting Ads into new Blogger.com

In my previous post, I've explained how to insert ads into Classic template of blogger. If you are using the new Blogger beta, here's how you can insert ads:

There are two ways to insert ads into new blogger.

Way 1:

Login to blogger, go to your blog "Settings" from the dashboard, click on "Template", Click on "Add Page Element", In the popup window that appears, click on "Add to Blog" of HTML/Javascript section (Fourth one from top-left as of the time of this post), Paste the adsense code in the Content section and click on "Save Changes". That's it. You can change the location by dragging the element in the "Page Elements" page.


Way 2: This method gives you more flexibility in adding code at different locations.

Step 1: Login to blogger, go to your blog "Settings", click on "Template", Click on "Edit HTML"

Step 2: In the Edit HTML page, check the option "Expand Widget Templates"

Step 3: Search for "post-body". After <> and before <>, add your code. Add again after post.body. This will show ads like what's being shown in this blog now. A Ad after the post title and one at the end of the post.

If you want your ads to be displayed at different locations, just add the code at the appropriate page element like after < class =" '"> etc.

Update: If you get an error like
Your template could not be parsed as it is not well-formed. Please make sure all XML elements are closed properly. XML error message: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.
Since Blogger started using XML everything is more strict and standardized. The above error simply mean the Adsense code is not standized XML and solve it we need to put " instead of ' in the script tags.

Update:
If you are unable to view ads, please remove the comments
'< ! - -'
and ' / / - - >' from the adsense code.

Inserting Ads into Blogger.com

Blogger.com is a leading blogging service provider owned by Google. Blogger allows customization of the blog template thus enabling bloggers to insert ads in turn generating revenue for the bloggers. Adsense, a ad publishing service owned by Google, is integrated into the blogger and ads from the Adsense network can be added with a single mouse click to your blog.

However, if you are looking to insert ads from publishers apart Google, then this post is for you. This post explains the method to insert the Javascript of the Advertisement into your blog at blogger.com.

Blogger.com provides it's users with two design templates... Classic Template and New Customizable Template. This post explains how to insert the script in Classic Template.

Step 1: Go to www.blogger.com, login to go to the dashboard. Click on "Settings" link of the blog in which you want to publish ads.



Step 2: Click on the "Template" link at the top of the page.



Step 3: If you are using the new customizable template, you'll be looking at a screen like the image below. Click on "Edit HTML" button. If you are using Classic Template, you'll be looking at HTML code. Go to Step 5.



Step 4: At the bottom of the page, you'll find the link "Revert to Classic Template". Click on it. Click on OK in the prompt that appears. (Warning: If you've customized your template before, there may be a chance of loosing the changes you've made to the design)



Step 5: Now you're using Classic template of blogger. Scroll the code till you get a DIV Class named "post-body". See the screenshot below.



Step 6: Just before < $ BlogItemBody $ >, Insert the ad publishing script. This will publish a ad after the post title, before the content of the post begins. Inserting the ad publishing script after the BlogItemBody will display an Ad at the end of a post.



In this blog, I pasted my code both before and after BlogItemBody. You can see that two ads appear for each post, one after the post title and another at the end of the post. In another post I'll explain how to insert ad scripts in the new template instead of the Classic Template. Till then, Happy earning :)
