How to Place Google Ads Below Post Title in Blogger

Home > Gadgets for serious bloggers > How to Place Google Ads Below Post Title in Blogger
Placing Google Adsense Ads below your blog post title is one of the best place to get clicks from your blog visitors. This is because, that section on your blog is visible to your blog reader that only a blind person can ignore. In this article, i will like to introduce a step by step method on how to place your Google Adsense ad unit below the post title in Blogger blog. This ad placement requires pasting the Google Adsense code directly into your Blogger template. While it is not difficult for expert bloggers, I have rated the skill level as intermediate for newbies as it requires parsing ( i.e. conversion of the Javascript into a format readable by Blogger) the Google Adsense code first before pasting it into your blogger template and more perhaps.

This steps have been broken down in simpler steps to simplify the process and make it more readable and understandable.

Steps to place google adsense code below blogger post title
  1. After creating the adsense unit, place your mouse in the Adsense box, right click and copy the code. paste it in a note pad if you want to close the page. Click and open this link AD CONVERTER in a new tab or (copy the link location and paste in a new tab address bar). it will take you to centricle. 
  2. Paste the Google Adsense code into the converter box and press the Convert Ad Code button. This will parse the code so that Blogger will read the Javascript properly. Leave the window open for now as we will be returning there latter. Note that pasting Google Adsense code in to your Blogger template that has not been parsed will produce errors.
  3.  Log in to your blogger dashboard if you are not already there.
  4.  Navigate to LAYOUT go to EDIT HTML
  5.  BACK UP YOUR TEMPLATE by downloading it to your computer. Don't know how to do it just click on the above link and read the post.
  6. Check the Expand Widgets Template check box.
  7. Bring up Blogger Search using CTRL + F. Copy and paste the following line of code into the text box to find the following code in your template.

    <b:if cond='data:post.title'>
    or 
  8. <data:post.body/>
  9. Return to the Ad Converter and copy the converted code by right clicking your mouse and choosing select all followed by right clicking again to copy it. Paste this code directly after the above code block. BUT Before you do that, paste your Google Adsense ad converted code between the following script in this format. 
  10. <p>
    <!-- Start Google Ad-->
    Place your Google Adsense Code here
    <!-- End Google Ad-->
    </p>
  11. Click on save templates to save your template.
  12. Take a look at your new Google Adsense ad unit in your blog by following the View Blog link.

Troubleshooting Your New Google Adsense Below the Post Title for errors.
  1. Note that only a placeholder will show up for about the first 10 minutes or so. If no placeholder appears go back and retrace your steps to make sure you haven't forgotten something. Check if you have copied the code correctly.
  2. Do you want more white space between the ad unit and the start of the first line of your article? then add this html tag before your Google Adsense code and this after the last line of your Google Adsense code.
  3. If you have Google Adsense ad units in other parts of your blog you will find that only 3 Google Adsense ad units will display on one page at any one time according to Adsense rules. for this reason you may get a placeholder appearing for some of your earlier posts which appear further down the page (placeholder are the spaces you see on the other post instead of Google Adsense). To counter this problem I suggest you set the number of posts on a page to 3 if you have no other ad units anywhere else and 2 if you have another unit some where else. Linked units are not included in this only ad units.That's all
