If you want to place google ads in your posts, there are two ways to do it. One is to edit your theme and place your adsense codes right in the theme file. This requires a bit of php programming so I won’t really delve into this topic for this entry. The other option which I want to focus on for now is to install the exec-php plugin which can be downloaded here.

1. Download the extracted exec-php.zip file in your online installation using ftp in the wp-content/plugins/ folder

2. Activate the plug-in in your admin panel

3. Create a new entry to test the plugin

4. In the text editor, click the “code” tab right beside the “visual” tab

5. Copy your adsense code and paste it there (when you switch the editor to the visual editor, the adsense cannot be seen)

6. Publish the entry

7. Check if the adsense code displayed well in the front page

The plug-in actually disables the Wordpress feature that filters out the entries from programming language. This allows both php and javascript to be executed even in posts.

Note: Google adsense a maximum of four ads only within a page. This could cause the remaining adsense exceeding the number not to appear.

But before that, let me tell you why I decided to create this new category. Recently, I have been asked by friends and those whom I meet online about how to earn through blogging. Some who know me personally were aware that I am earning online already. It could be by chance that they all come together in one time or maybe they saw Mel and Joey’s episode on “How to Make Money through Blogging” where, according to Abe Olandres (one of the professional bloggers featured in the segment) there was “Too much hype” about it, giving the impression that earning is too easy. I agree with Abe on this. Blogging is for everyone but earning through blogging is only for those who are willing to give all that they got for it – patience, hard work and a lot of time.

Anyway, as I was saying. With all these currently happening, I received a suggestion to blog about it. That way, I get too keep their questions recorded online so as not to miss any, especially the important ones. Thanks dear.

So here it is, launched is the category about earning online. I do not boast though of my earnings ( and i do not intend to) but I am just passionate in telling anybody who asks me that earning through the web, not just in blogging, is really possible.

Now, where do I start? Hmm…
