How to Connect AdSense to Your Google Blogger – A Beginner’s Monetization Guide

Want to monetize your blog through Google Blogger? The first essential step is to connect AdSense. Once connected, you earn money whenever a visitor clicks on ads placed on your blog. This guide walks you through each step of setting up AdSense on Blogger, even if you’re a complete beginner.

1. Create Your AdSense Account

Before you connect AdSense to Blogger, you need an approved AdSense account.

  1. Visit: AdSense Signup Page
  2. Log in with your Google account
  3. Enter your blog URL and submit your application
  4. Fill out personal info and address (accurate info is needed for PIN verification)

Tip: Have at least 15 high-quality text-based blog posts before applying for approval.

2. Connect AdSense to Blogger

Once your AdSense account is submitted, link it from the Blogger dashboard:

  1. Go to your Blogger admin panel
  2. Click "Earnings" from the left menu
  3. Click "Connect to AdSense"
  4. Log in to your AdSense account and request approval

Approval may take 1 to 14 days. You will be notified via email once it’s approved.

3. Enable and Insert Ads

① Automatic Ads via Blogger Layout

  1. Go to “Layout” from the left menu
  2. Choose a widget area (sidebar, header, etc.) → click “Add a Gadget”
  3. Select AdSense widget and save

② Insert Manual Ad Code

  1. Log into AdSense account
  2. Click “Ads” → then “By ad unit”
  3. Create a display or in-feed ad and copy the HTML code
  4. Go to Blogger → Theme → Edit HTML → paste code where you want ads to show

Once your earnings exceed $10, a PIN will be mailed to your address. This must be entered to verify your account. After reaching $100, payments begin.

  1. Enter the mailed PIN into your AdSense account
  2. Set up a bank account (must be in your name)
  3. Once you reach $100, payouts are made monthly

  • Q: Why was my AdSense application rejected?
    A: Possible reasons include low content quality, not enough posts, or policy violations.
