How do I create an AdSense unit?

_______________

To create a new AdSense unit that you can manage within your account, follow the steps below. (The first few will seem pretty familiar to those of you who have generated code before.)

1. Sign in to your account at http://www.google.com/adsense.
2. Under the AdSense Setup tab, choose the Get Ads link.
3. Select AdSense for content or referrals as the product. The new AdSense units are only available for AdSense for content and referrals at this time.
4. Choose your ad type, format, colors, and channels just as you have in the past.
5. Give your AdSense unit a name that you can remember and a description that makes it easy to identify should you wish to make future updates. Unlike channel names, which are used for reporting purposes, the names you give your AdSense units are intended to keep your ad units organized for the purpose of code creation. We recommend the following naming convention for your ad units: mysite_section_location_ATF(short for "above the fold")_size. For example: sportsreview_football_right_ATF_250x250.
6. Click Submit and Get Code.
7. Copy and paste the newly generated code onto your site.
