Google Publisher Plugin (beta) is an officially released plugin developed by Google. The plugin enables you to use Google’s products including AdSense and Webmaster Tools with your WordPress based website.
General process of adding Adsense requires generating snippets in from Google.com/AdSense and then pasting them into your website’s template files, digging inside PHP files if you are using WordPress or by using a plugin like Adinjection or Adinserter. But Google Publisher Plugin (beta) works very much differently from all other Adsense plugins out there and give you a new easy style of placing Adsense with a simple point-and-click user interface (UI).
The plugin also provides you an inbuilt one click website verification with Google Webmaster Tools.
How to start up with Google Publisher Plugin (beta)?
Install and activate Google Publisher Plugin (beta) plugin. Upon activation visit your admin area Dashboard -> Settings -> Google Publisher Plugin page, click ‘Get started‘ button, login and click ”Verify’ button:
Then you can select to preview the home page or your single post pages. The plugin will automatically add markers on page letting you know where the AdSense can get fit better. You can then select the place and click to add advertisements, you can create different placements for each page template and start displaying AdSense there.
Hi there,
Unfortunately, the Google Publisher plugin is deprecated since 2017 and has been removed from the WordPress repository. AdSense recommends using the free plugin Advanced Ads (https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-ads/) for this task now.
