How Do I Sign-Up for Google Adsense on HubPages?

Google AdSense & HubPages

Google AdSense is an easy affiliate program to set up on HubPages and can be an excellent source of revenue for those that write useful and informative Hubs. Before setting up Google AdSense with your HubPages account, we recommend you read the following overview of how the program works.
How Google AdSense Works

Google AdSense is an ad serving program run by Google which offers a PPC (Pay Per Click) revenue model, meaning that every time an ad gets clicked, you or HubPages (and Google) make money.

Where does the money from from?

There is a yang to this yin. The money comes from Advertisers. Advertisers use Google's AdWords program to set up ad campaigns in the hope that people will click through.

They can narrow down their target audience by picking keywords. These words are what Google AdSense uses to choose the pages of content that is the right fit for the ad. This is 'contextual advertising'. And is the other big reason why Google AdSense works so well. The geographical location of the surfer can also be taken into account. That way a dentist in Dallas can have their ads showing only to web surfers in Dallas. It's a lot better than the shotgun approach to online advertising that was around before Google AdSense rode into town.

To read more about Google's methods for targeting ads, check out their FAQ entry on the subject.

You have a couple of options based on whether or not you use Google AdSense:
How Do I Sign-Up for Adsense?

Google Adsense has made it so simple to sign-up. We recommend that all Hubbers sign-up for Google Adsense by going to My Account < Earnings < Settings. If you don't sign-up, HubPages can't split impressions with you and you don't get paid! There are two scenarios for signing up for Google Adsense: If you already have an Google Adsense account and if you're a new Google Adsense member. Both scenarios are described below.
I already have a Google AdSense Publisher ID!

Adding it to HubPages is easy...
Go to our Affiliate Settings page.
Click the "get started" button next to Google AdSense (or just click here).
Check the "yes" radio button after the question: "Do you already have a Google AdSense Account?"
To verify with Google Google AdSense that you are the owner of your Google AdSense Publisher ID account you need to enter your email address (the one you use to access your Google AdSense account), the last five digits of your phone, and your postal/zip code.
There is no need to enter your actual Google AdSense Publisher ID. Google will know what that is by these three forms of identification.
Once you click on "Link My Accounts" HubPages is able to place the ads on HubPages automatically on your behalf (you won't need to touch any code or do anything once you have Google AdSense active on HubPages)- you must simply make sure that you have followed the confirmation instructions that you'll get by email from Google. To make sure that HubPages has access to your Google AdSense account, you can visit you Google AdSense account and check the "Account Access" section under the "Account" tab.

My Account

Click "get started" to sign-up
I need to sign-up for Google AdSense!

If you don't already have an Google AdSense Publisher ID, you can apply for one after you've published a few quality Hubs. For certain countries your account must also be established for at least 6 months before you will be approved (you can view all specific eligibility requirements here).

Google is selective in who they approve, so to maximize your chance of acceptance, please be sure that your presence on HubPages includes substantial, original content before you apply. Also make sure you have a completed user profile and profile image uploaded. Quality is more important than quantity
Go to our Affiliate Settings page.
Click the "get started" button next to Google AdSense (or just click here).
Check the "no" radio button after the question: "Do you already have a Google AdSense Account?"
Then you will need to nominate an email address you own to become your Google AdSense Account Email Address (if you already have a Google Account that you use with other Google services, we'd suggesting using that).
Google will send you an email requesting a bit more information from you to get your Google AdSense account set up. In that email you will be asked to click a link to finish setting up your Google AdSense account.
On completion you will be taken to the Affiliate Settings page. Here you can enter your affiliate account codes. Keep in mind that all codes will need to be entered EXCEPT your Google AdSense code - that will be entered automatically.

Setting Up Google AdSense Channel for HubPages

Once you've been approved and your Google AdSense Publisher ID has been added under your HubPages affiliate settings, you need to be able to track your earnings through your Google AdSense account.

It takes only four clicks to make it happen!

Once you've logged into your Google AdSense account click on 'Google AdSense Setup'.
Underneath that click on "Channels".
A little further down click on "URL channel"'.
Click on "Add new URL channels",
Type in hubpages.com. Make sure it's ONLY hubpages.com you don't need in the www (if you put in the www it won't work).
Click on "Add channels".
Done!
