Getting An Adsense Account

First of all you need to sign up for an adsense account.

Go to http://www.google.com/ads/ and click on the link on the right hand side which says "For Web Publishers: Google AdSense"

Then click on the button which says "Click Here to Apply"

Follow the signup procedure and in a few days you will receive an email telling you that you have been approved for an AdSense account and that you can now log in.

Until you receive that email you can just use a random number for your AdSense Client ID and follow the rest of these instructions when you receive your e-mail from Google.

You can add adsense boxes to your pages before you get your adsense account because when you do get your proper account you can update the account id and the pages will be automatically updated next time you publish.

When you have an Adsense Account

When you do have an account, log into it by going to http://www.google.com/ads/ and clicking on the Google Adsense link. Once you are in the Adsense Admin system go to the Ad Settings tab.

Scroll all the way to the bottom and you should see a large text box with the instructions "Copy-and-paste this HTML code into your web pages"

All you need to do is find the line which says google_ad_client = "pub-1234567890123456"; and copy the pub-1234567890123456 (including pub- but not the quotes) into the "AdSense Client ID" field in XSite Pro. All of your AdSense boxes will be updated to use the new code and you will start being credited when someone clicks on your adverts.

We strongly suggest that you read https://www.google.com/adsense/policies for details on what you can and can't do with the adsense boxes and draw your attention to the following:

Any method that artificially and/or fraudulently generates clicks is strictly prohibited. These prohibited methods include but are not limited to:

• Repeated manual clicks
• Incentives to click
• Using robots
• Automated clicking tools

or other deceptive software.

Please note that clicking on your own ads for any reason is prohibited, to avoid potential inflation of advertiser costs.
