How to earn money from Admob: a step-by-step guideguide
Your Admob account is one of the best ways to get started with making money on the internet, but it can also be somewhat confusing at first glance. There are so many things you need to do in order to get your app up and running with Admob ads, and this guide will walk you through every step, from creating an Admob account to publishing your app.
First, you need an ad unit
AdMob ad units are pieces of code, called tags, that you place on your website. Once your visitors come to your site and view an ad, you can earn money. The key is getting people to visit your site and view ads; once they do, you’ll start seeing revenue. The more traffic you drive to your site, the more likely it is that those visitors will see an ad (and thus click on it). And that means more revenue for you. In order to get started with AdMob, you need an ad unit or two—or three—to get things going. Luckily, there are several ways to generate these codes so that you can get started right away. There are also plenty of tools available to help you make sure everything is working properly. To get started, follow our quick and easy steps below!
[Show each step in detail] Step 1. Generate your ad unit(s) You can generate your ad units with one of two options. You can generate them manually, or you can use Google’s AdMob tool. Let’s take a look at both!
Step 2. Insert your ad unit(s) on your website If you decided to go with manual generation, you now need to place these codes on your website and then insert them into specific places on each page of your site where you want an ad displayed.
Add your ad code to the website
After adding your ad code, click Test Your Ad and it will take you through some tests. Click on Test again until you see Your test results show that your ads are eligible to run. It is also important that you allow Google to place its cookies on your computer so it can track how well your ads are performing and credit you for them. To do so, follow these steps:
Enable AdMob in Google Play Console
