How to Place Ad Codes on Your Site
1. Use your computer cursor to highlight the code the ad company provides. Right-click the highlighted code then click 'Copy.'
2. Access the HTML code for the web page where you want to place the code, in the file corresponding to the page's web address if you own a website or in the appropriate post if you own a blog. If you want to show the ad on all pages, open the template file in your website hosting account or the sidebar editing page on your blog dashboard.
3. Find the place in the code that corresponds to where you want to place the ad on the page. If you want to place it below a certain image, for example, look for '' tags that correspond to the image. If you want to place the ad below certain words, look for those words. Make room for the ad by typing '' to insert a single line break or '' to skip a line.
4. Right-click after your line break and click 'Paste' to paste the ad code into the HTML code. Insert another line break to put space around the ad; otherwise, the design of your page may become distorted due to the addition of the ad.
5. Save the changes to the HTML code. Open the web page in your browser to view the ad.
How Does PayPal Work?
Overview
PayPal is a method for sending and receiving funds.
Definition
PayPal is a service that enables a person to send and receive payments over the Internet when selling or purchasing goods or services or making online donations. PayPal prides itself for being secure, and most online services accept payment through PayPal. PayPal is an effective and secure way to do business over the Internet.
Getting Started
First, you need to open a PayPal account. All you need is an email address to get started. From the PayPal home page, click on the “Sign up” link and follow the instructions. Once you have set up a PayPal account, then you are ready to send and receive money over the Internet.
Linking to Bank Accounts
You can link your PayPal account to your bank account so that you can transfer funds between your personal or business bank account and your PayPal account. The PayPal website provides instructions for how to do this. PayPal charges no fees to transfer money in or out of your bank account, and most banks do not charge for this service either. You can also link your PayPal account to a credit card, although many websites will not accept this form of payment because the website must pay higher fees for this service.
Sending Money
If you want to send money from your PayPal account, you can do this in two ways. One way is to click on the PayPal icon on a website. Most large websites provide PayPal as a payment option. Once you select what you want to purchase, you can click on the PayPal icon and follow the instructions. The other option is to enter the email address of the person you want to pay. As long as that email address is linked to a valid PayPal account, the money will transfer from your PayPal account to the other person’s PayPal account.
Drawing Funds
You must have funds linked to your PayPal account to cover the cost of your purchases. If you link your PayPal account to a bank account, then PayPal will automatically withdraw the funds from your bank account to pay for your purchases. Alternatively, PayPal will charge your purchases to the credit card that you link to the PayPal account. You can set up your PayPal account in either manner.
Receiving Funds
If you want to receive money into your PayPal account, you can do this by asking the other party to send you a payment using your email address. You can link multiple email addresses to one PayPal account, so there is no need to open multiple accounts if you regularly use more than one email address.
PayPal Fee
PayPal charges a nominal fee to the recipient of the funds. If you ask a person to pay you $100 through PayPal, you will see a small fee deducted from the amount you receive. There is no fee for the person who is using PayPal to pay for goods or services.

How to add AdBrite to your blog
1. To add AdBrite to your blog, go to www.adbrite.com and choose the 'Create an Account' box for Website owners.
2. Next, choose what types of ads you want on your site. You can choose from banner and/or text ads, full page ads and inline ads (when the mouse rolls over highlighted words in the text an ad appears). You have the option of choosing all types of ads or just one or 2.Before you leave that screen you have to check boxes agreeing not to place incentives within your site to click on ads and that the ads will not be set up on sites with pornographic content. Pretty standard stuff.
3. Next choose the ad format you want. AdBrite does not have as many options as Google Adsense but for some this may be a good thing. As you click each option on the dropdown menu the sample ad on the page will change so you can get an idea of what you are choosing.Next choose the type of content you want to allow: either all available ads (except adult) or family-friendly only, then decide if you want your ads auto-approved or if you want to approve each ad before it appears on your site. This setting can be changed later, so for now I'd say go with auto-approve until you learn your way around.
4. Next you need to provide your site info: URL, name of your site and a brief description, and also specify the area where your ads will appear (top banner, left vertical, etc).After that is an important area where you enter keywords that apply to your site. You can enter up to 50 and they have a counter that shows how many you have left. Put some thought into the keywords you choose since these will help determine the types of ads that appear in your site.Once that's complete you will pick a main category for your site and a secondary category. For example, if you blog about books you would pick Arts & Entertainment and then Books.
5.
Finally, answer yes or no to whether you are already using other ad networks and click on the link to get your ad code HTML. Just copy and paste it into the HTML/Java Script area on your site and that's it! You are now signed up with AdBrite. Now start promoting!
