Verify site ownership (meta tag already added)
Wait for approval email

3. Create Ad Units

Create ad units in AdSense dashboard for each ad placement

Go to Ads → By ad unit → Display ads

Save and generate code

Create Ad Units

4. Get Ad Slot IDs

Copy the data-ad-slot values for each ad unit you created

In each ad unit, find the code snippet
Look for: data-ad-slot="1234567890"
Copy the slot ID (just the number)
Update components/ads/AdSenseConfig.js

5. Update Configuration File

Replace placeholder slot IDs in AdSenseConfig.js with real values

Open: components/ads/AdSenseConfig.js
Replace '1234567890' with actual slot IDs
Set ENABLED: true after approval
Save and deploy

6. Verify Site Ownership

Add the AdSense verification meta tag to your site

✅ Already added in Layout.js
Meta tag: <meta name="google-adsense-account" content="ca-pub-3548525623363447">
Verify in AdSense dashboard

7. Test and Deploy

Deploy to production and verify ads are showing

⚠️ Ads won't show on localhost
Deploy to live domain
Wait 10-20 minutes for ads to appear
Check browser console for errors
Use AdSense dashboard to monitor

Configuration File Example

// components/ads/AdSenseConfig.js

export const ADSENSE_CONFIG = {
  CLIENT_ID: 'ca-pub-3548525623363447',
  
  // ⚠️ Set to true after AdSense approval
  ENABLED: false,  // Change to true
  
  // 🔧 Replace these with your actual slot IDs
  SLOTS: {
    HOME_TOP_BANNER: '1234567890',      // ← Replace
    HOME_MID_BANNER: '1234567891',      // ← Replace
    ARTICLE_SIDEBAR_TOP: '1234567893',  // ← Replace
    // ... etc
  }
};

Common Issues & Solutions

Ads showing blank space

Wait 10-20 minutes after deployment. AdSense needs time to fill ad slots.

Ads not showing at all

Check: (1) Account approved? (2) Slot IDs correct? (3) ENABLED: true? (4) Not on localhost?

Policy violations

Ensure content follows AdSense policies. Religious content is allowed if it's educational and doesn't promote intolerance.

Low ad revenue

Increase traffic, improve ad placements, use responsive ads, and ensure good user experience.
