Where to add ad unit code

After you get and copy your ad unit code, you need to paste it between the <body> and </body> tags of your page. If you paste the ad code outside the <body> tags it will prevent your ads from appearing correctly.

Note: This is sample code only which shows where to add ad unit code. Don't use this code exactly in your own site's code.

Example of an HTML page before ad unit code has been added

<html>

   <head>

      This is the head of your page.

      <title>Example HTML page</title>

   </head>

   <body>

      This is the body of your page.

   </body>

</html>

Example of an HTML page after ad unit code has been added in the <body> tag

   <head>

   <body>

      This is the body of your page.

How to position ads on your site with HTML

Just like the other elements of your site (images, paragraphs, etc.), you can change the position of your Google ads by using HTML tags (<div>, <table>, etc.). For example, if you surround your ad code with the HTML tags <div align="center"> and </div>, your ads will appear in the centre of your page.

Example of an HTML <div> element used to position an ad in the <body> tag

<html>

   <head>

      This is the head of your page.

      <title>Example HTML page</title>

   </head>

   <body>

      This is the body of your page.

      <div align="center">

      <script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-1234567890123456" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
<!-- Homepage Leaderboard -->
<ins class="adsbygoogle"
style="display:inline-block;width:728px;height:90px"
data-ad-client="ca-pub-1234567890123456"
data-ad-slot="1234567890"></ins>
<script>
(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

      </div>

   </body>

   </html>
