Google Adsense Placement Under A Wordpress Header

I have been trying to find the code and the where to put the adsense code below my header in the Wordpress 2010 theme.  I had read that Google Adsense Placement under the header (for a 728 x 15 link unit) is optimal for getting people's attention and potential ad clicks.  So, I finally found the solution.

Go to techmaish.com and you will find both the code to enter and where to put the code. There are two parts to the code, the ad code goes in the header.php file and there is some code to put into the style.css file.

I had to also go to my adsense site and create the code for the 728 x 15 ad, but that is really easy. So now, I just sit back and see if the site performs better. Hope springs eternal!

Google Adsense Placement on My Qigong Healing Arts Blog

I did some reading about Google ad placement and decided today to put a menu type ad placement on the top of my pages that have the most traffic. The Google ad looks like a menu layout, and I put it below the title of each article. I have read some instructions on how to put it below the menu in the header, but I don't have a custom_functions.php file in the 2011 Wordpress theme.

I will do further research on that and if I find out how to do that, I will put the instructions on this blog entry. For the amount of traffic that I am getting on the Qigong Healing Arts Blog, I should be getting more Google adsense revenue. My overall revenue is on the rise, but there are contributions from my alternate site on Blogger, which is interesting, as it gets a lot less traffic. It is ranked higher on Google, but it is situated on page 2, vs. page 1 for the other blog. It has about a sixth of the traffic volume.

So if anyone reads this blog in the Internet Wilderness of Internet Marketing Blogs out there, I would appreciate all comments or suggestions. ....regarding Google ad placement with the 2011 theme.......whether it involves the need to change themes so there is a custom_functions.php file or whatever. Namaste!
