If you have a wordpress blog and want to make money from your blog then a very good plugin to install is the Google adsense plugin.  The plugin is free to install.  Simply do a search on Google for the “Google Adsense WordPress Plugin”.  Download and unzip the plugin then using your FTP software upload the plugin to the following directory within your hosting account:

Public_html/wp-contents/plugins

Login to your blog and under plugins you should see the Adsense plugin and activate it.

Once you have activated the plugin your ready to customise the plugin under “Settings” on the bottom left of the screen.  Under the Adsense ID this is where you put you Google adsense publisher id also known as your PUB Number.  This number can be found at the top right hand corner in your Google adsense account.

You can also setup Adsense channels if you use adsense for several other websites and want to track which site is generating your clicks.

You can also set what sizes you want the adds to be displayed on your blog under ad formats.  You can also decide if you want your ads to appear on articles, static pages, category pages, on your home page or any of your archive pages.

You can also change the colour of your ads to match the theme of your website and you can also set to show a number of adds per page depending on your preferences.

If you have a wordpress blog that you dont pay much attention to then you should install the wp-o-matic wordpress plugin which will turn your blog into an Autoblog.  What this plugin does is automatically adds articles to your blog via an autofeed that pulls feeds from website rss feeds you specify.  You can set it to run at specified times throughout the day adding as many articles as you like.  You will need to setup a cron job via your hosting account in order for it to work.

When you download the plugin simply extract the files locally to your computer and then FTP to your server and upload the plugin folder to the following directory in your hosting account:

Root/wp-content/plugins/

Login to wordpress and active at the plugin

Then under settings click on wp-o-matic and start the installation process.  Follow the onscreen instructions which asks you to setup a cron job.  If your not sure how to setup a cron job follow the following video which shows you how to install and setup the wp-o-matic plugin:

Although if you can i still would recommend your own unique content as your blog will highly benefit from adding unique articles that aren’t duplicated from another blog.
