After joining the AdSense program, new publishers often have questions about placing the AdSense code on their sites using design-enhanced editors. These include such editing software as Microsoft FrontPage, Macromedia Dreamweaver, and Adobe GoLive, as well as online services like Google Page Creator and Yahoo! Sitebuilder. These applications allow you to edit your site without worrying about the HTML. For this reason, they're frequently called WYSIWYG or "what you see is what you get" editors.
Although this can be a significant advantage when you're editing your page, the same features that make WYSIWYG editors so great can actually make it harder to implement AdSense. If you paste the code into a "design" or "layout" view in one of these programs, then what you see (the ad code itself) is what you get on your page.
To avoid seeing unsightly code on your page and to make sure your ads function properly, you'll need to copy and paste the ad code into the HTML source code of your web page. Different editors provide different ways of doing this, but they usually provide either an HTML view or an HTML insert function. The HTML view will show you all of your site's HTML, while an HTML insert function will allow you to place code in your site while still using the WYSIWYG view.
You can find step-by-step instructions for adding the ad code to your site using a WYSIWYG editor in our Help With Ad Code demo If you're using Google Page Creator, you may wish to review the instructions listed in our Help Center.
If you need more help with HTML issues, please feel free to consult other publishers in the AdSense Help Forum.
