  Hi!

  I am trying to insert Adsense on my site using the text widget but after inserting google’s code and saving it all I see online is this:

  /pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js
  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

  Can someone help me, please?
  Thanks

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I don’t know much but I know you can only have AdSense if you have a certain type of WordPress… the paid version or something. I added a tag to help you get noticed :)

  Thank you, flowbeth.
  I am using Fontfolio and can’t find any information saying it is not compatible with Adsense… :/

  It doesn’t have anything to do with your theme.

  “Advertisements, including those from third-party advertising networks like Google AdSense, OpenX, Lijit, BuySellAds, and Vibrant Media are not allowed on WordPress.com.”

  There are other, more limited ways to do some advertising:

  Really?! Well… I feel disappointed… :(
  Will explore the alternatives, though.
  Thank you so much, pm2057!

  No.

  if you want to run Google Adsense ads you need to have a self-hosted WordPress.ORG software install. See the NOTE below.

  No blogger initiated advertising is allowed on WordPress.COM hosted blogs. The only advertising program at WordPress.com is called WordAds and it’s for blogs on their own domains.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/domains/
  http://en.wordpress.com/apply-for-wordads/

  Advertising outside of WordAds at WordPress.com is not allowed.
  http://support.wordpress.com/advertising/ Here’s what gets a blog suspended:
  http://wordpress.com/types-of-blogs/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/advertising/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/affiliate-links/
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/suspended-blogs/
  http://en.wordpress.com/tos/

  1. WordPress.com allows bloggers to insert text affiliate links within post and page content to most third-party affiliate programs, provided they are not the primary content of the site in question.

  2. Image affiliate links in posts and pages and any banners, affiliate links in sidebar or footer widget areas, are still considered to be advertising and are not allowed on WordPress.com blogs.

  NOTE: A self-hosted WordPress site might be right for you. WordPress.org offers free software that you can install on a web server. You can upload and install themes and plugins, run ads, conduct ecommerce and edit the database. http://support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  WordPress.COM and WordPress.ORG are completely separate and have different logins, features, run different versions of some themes with the same names, and have separate support documentation and separate support forums. Read the differences here http://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/

  If you don’t have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there.
