Getting Ad Codes*

Updated September 2020

Login to your AdSense account and look for the sidebar menu on the left hand side of the page (this may be the right hand side for languages that read right to left).

Once you click the Ads tab you should see a menu below "Ads" like this:

and on the right side of the page, you'll probably see something like this:

 

Click the "By Ad Unit" option and you should see a page like this:

From this page you can choose the type of ad units you need. Note that the In-feed ads are not for RSS feeds, but for pages that show snippets of your articles, the a summary page like you see on many blog home pages.  Also note that link ads aren't available in all accounts, so you may not have that option and, before you ask, no, I don't know why they are available in some accounts and not in others.

If you have existing ad units from having used ads on other sites, they should be listed on the same page below the option for selecting ads.

When you select an ad type, you'll get options for that ad type. If you choose in-article ads, you'd see:

That page allows you to set options for the ad unit, and give it a name so you know how to find it in the future.  Once you've set those options up, you can click "save and get code". Then you'll see this page with code to copy, and instructions for placing it.

Note that clicking any of the ad types in the menu will give you a page for options for that ad type.

Copy the code and click I'm done.

Then paste it on your website as the instructions provide. Other available instructions are fairly clear in the Help Center. These links should help:
