All you get from a blogspot blog is inserting Google Adsense code on the Sidebar, between Posts on the homepage, before Posts and after Posts but not inside a single-page post. No doubt with a WordPress blog, anyone can conveniently do that, even without knowing any code. But with blogger, one can only customize and change things within the narrow framework of blogger.

Why I Decided to Write About This Despite the fact that there are numerous resources that contains this solution, I got several fans, friends, and readers of this blog asking me how they can easily insert a Google Adsense code into their blog Single post. The second reason I decided to write this tutorial is, I discovered that almost 80% of blogger from Nigeria uses blogger and thirdly, one of the Google Adsense Placement that performs well is placing ads inside your single post – right below the title of your post.

Select the Adsense Gadget and then configure it to suit your blog’s look. 8 Simple Steps to Adding Adsense Code Within Post Now to the main topic of this write-up, let us go ahead and add a Google Adsense code into our single post – right below the post title. 1.
