Update the AdSense account associated with a Blogger site

If you're using a Layouts-enabled blog, you can associate an AdSense ad unit with a different AdSense account. To do so, simply follow these steps:

1. Log into your Blogger account at http://www.blogger.com
2. Go to your blog's layout template page by clicking Layout on the left navigation bar.



3. Click on the AdSense gadget
4. Click on the Switch to a different publisher ID link at the bottom.



5. Enter your AdSense login (the email address you use to sign in to AdSense).

We'll then update your Google ads to be associated with your preferred AdSense account.

AdMob, YouTube, Blogger, and host partnerships

Apply for a fully activated AdSense account to also show ads on my own site

When you signed up for AdMob, we also created a partially approved AdSense account for you. If you do have your own site that you’d like to show ads on, you can apply to fully activate your AdSense account, by adding “AdSense for content” as described below. Once your AdSense account is fully activated, you can earn money by displaying targeted Google ads on your site.

To show ads on your own site:

1. Sign in to your AdSense account.
2. Click Ads.
3. Under “Add AdSense for content", click Apply now.
4. Complete the AdSense application form, then click Submit my application.
5. Finally, you need to create your first ad unit and place the ad code on the URL that you provided in your AdSense application, on a page that receives traffic. You can learn more about how to implement ad code on your site in our code implementation guide.

Note that until your AdSense account is fully activated, only blank ads will appear on your pages. Once your account is fully activated, you’ll receive a confirmation email and begin to see live ads. Please don't click on your live ads, even to test them -- doing so isn't permitted by the AdSense Program policies.

Once your application is approved, you’re welcome to place your ad code on any site that you own without any further approvals.
