  Hello!

  I am a newbie to all of this.
  I am trying to connect my site with google adsense. All the tutorials show to add the line of code for it in Appearance> Theme editor but I don’t have that option. I’m not sure why. Is it because I am on a personal plan?

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

  Hi there,

  You need the Business plan or eCommerce plan to be able to advertising through third-party ad networks like Google AdSense, OpenX, Lijit, BuySellAds, and Vibrant Media, or selling advertising space on your site.

  Sites on the WordPress.com Premium plan can use WordAds, Affiliate Linking, or Sponsored posts to generate advertising revenue, while the WordPress.com Personal and Free plans can use Affiliate Linking, or Sponsored posts.

  Hi @rubiousreadings

  All the tutorials show to add the line of code for it in Appearance> Theme editor but I don’t have that option. I’m not sure why.

  To clarify, those tutorials sound like they are referring to self-hosted WordPress sites, which are sites that you create on a “traditional web host” like Bluehost, GoDaddy, etc.

  They use a different (more advanced) version of the WordPress platform than we use here on WordPress.com, so those tutorials may refer to things that do not exist on WordPress.com. You can get that more advanced version of the platform by upgrade to the Business Plan as @varshasc has mentioned.
