HOW TO USE ADSENSE ON HTTPS SITES?

You might think how to use AdSense on your HTTPS site after Google enable it for these sites? Well it is so easy. You just have to login to your AdSense account if you don't have account create it first and then follow the instruction given below.

  1. Go to the My Ads tab.
  2. Click on "Ads units".
    3. Create New Ad Unit

  3. Now click on New Add Unit button.
  4. Choose the name for your new ad unit.
  5. Select the Ad unit size.
    6. Select Size for New Ad Unit

  6. Now scroll down and click on "Save and get code".
  7. Now Paste the ad code on your site.
That's it! You have successfully implemented AdSense on your HTTPS site.

Note: Old ad units will not show ads on your HTTPS site on which you changed page that is on now HTTPS from HTTP.


AdSense will remove all the non-SSL compliant ads from the auction for competing on pages that does not SSL-compliant. So if you convert your HTTP site into HTTPS, ads will earn less than older ads that was on your HTTP pages.

HOW NEW AD CODE WORKS ON HTTPS SITES?

The older code was looks like below code.

Synchronous ad code<script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

Asynchronous ad code<script async src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/.js">
</script>

Now the new code for HTTPS enable sites are looks like below codes.

Synchronous ad code<script type="text/javascript" src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js">
</script>

Asynchronous ad code<script async src="//pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/.js">
</script>

So now whenever user visits your HTTPS secure site, AdSense will serve the ads via HTTPS and the visit from HTTP will still serve the ads from HTTP as it shows before.
