How Did I Monetize My Thesis WordPress Blog

| May 11, 2010 | Comments (3)

I had a request from one of my subscribers a week before. He wanted to know how do I monetize this blog which is at present powered by popular thesis wordpress theme. So I am doing this post mainly to fulfill his request, also I think it will be very useful for many others who run their blogs based on this theme.

Being frank I never found any difficulty with monetizing this particular theme, in fact its pretty simple and straight forward with thesis openhook plugin. If you haven’t installed this plugin, I strongly recommend that you do install it because I think its one of the must have tool for all those who run their blogs on thesis.

So once you have installed and activated this plugin, you can access its functionality through

Appearance —-> Thesis Openhook in your admin control panel

To Have Your Ad Just Below The Header Image:

To get your ad below the header image just like the one you can see in this blog, all you have to do is browse through section called Before Content Box in your open hook section and place your ad code in to the box.

To Have Your Ad Just Below The Title:

To get your ads just below the title, all you have to do is browse through the Before Post section in the thesis open hook and place your adcode in to it.

To Have your Ad After The Post:

To get your ads after the post, Browse through the “After Post” section and place your code right in to the box provided and when you are done don’t forget to get to the bottom of the page and save your settings.

To Have Your Ads In The Sidebar:

To get your ads in the sidebar all you have to do is get to Appearance —-> Widgets and grab your text widget to place your ad code in to it and save it.

Remember that if you are using google adsense it takes up to 10 to 15 minutes for your ads to appear in the spots.

If you are not using Thesis wordpress theme, I would highly recommend using this plugin called “Adsense Now” which really does a good job in monetizing your blog with adsense without much effort.

    I am a novice – wondering how you remove the monetized add from the site or how you make corrections if you code is not right? I have tried this already and it is a great tool.
