Official Google Publisher Plugin for WordPress makes it easy to integrate Adsense ads in WP Blogs

A large chunk of online blogs – be it the personal ones or the professional ones, are running on the WordPress platform. It was just a matter of time before Google realized this and made it easier for WordPress Bloggers to integrate adsense ads on their blog.

Till now, WordPress users had to either opt for third party plugins, or insert the codes for their ads manually. Now, they can just visit the Plugins option from their WordPress admin page, search for Google Publisher and install the plugin from there.

Once installed, ads can be inserted by following Google’s official guide here. As the guide clearly mentions, placing ads is super easy as you can select the position at which you want to place the ad and preview it before making the changes live on the blog.

The plugin will automatically gather your Adsense account information by having you log in to the Google account you use with your Adsense account. Apart from Adsense, the Google Publisher Tools also comes with support for Google Webmaster Tools, providing you reports about your blog’s visibility on Google.

If you are a WordPress user, share your experience with this plugin in the comments section. If you are a Blogger user, Adsense is already tightly integrated with it, just go to the Earnings tab and select where you want to display your ads.

In related news, Google’s Febraury edition of Adsense Insider disclosed that Adsense has over 2 million publishers and that Google shared over $9 billion with those publishers in the last year i.e. 2013.
