EARN FROM YOUR BLOG
After you have posted your topics put adsense on your blog.To do so,u may require visit your Google adsense Section.

HOW TO PUT AD(s) N MY BLOG?
1ST option(recommended)
---------
After you have created your adsense account,Login at it at http://www.google.com/adsense/?hl=en_US.
Now to go to the Adsense setup section.Choose preferbly ADsense for content.Then chose the ad's size,color.After that you obtain A HTML code.Copy the code & save it.

Similarly you may do it for ADsense for search & for Google refferals.Obtain their codes & save them.

Then login to your blogger.On the dashboard,Chose the blog you want see ads on then click on LAYOUT.
On this you see various page elements.Click on add a page element.
Go to HTML/JAVASCRIPT section of the new window.
In HTml/javascript.Paste the obtained code (which was saved).
Click on save changes.
THen you may need to change the position of ADsense.Drag the HTML/JAVASCRIPT (box in page elements) to the desired place.Click on save.
!!!!!!!!!!!!DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Then check whether you have pasted the code properly or not.

2nd OPTION
----------
You may click on add a page element & then chose Adsense.
Then in this you will need to sign up.Provide your adsense ID(google account) & your postal code.
YOU WILL HAVE TO SIGN IN TO YOUR GOOGLE ACCOUNT EMAIL ADDRESS WHERE YOU WILL FIND A MAIL FROM GOOGLE ADSENSE ASKING YOU TO PERMIT BLOGGER USE YOUR ACCOUNT OR NOT.CLICK YES.
Then choose (preferbly)Bend template.{It's your wish what size & color format}.Then you may save or remove page element.But it's disadvanage is that it dosen't offer you a lage variety of sizes and color formats.
It may be highly unsafe as well for your privacy.


ADSENSE FOR SEARCH NOT WORKING!
YEs.this is a common problem I receive in my inbox(Everyday atleast two or three).
For this ,look at your codeonce more.
Loook for this line
.Around this you you may c .Cut the three of the code

HOW TO DO I KNOW WHO VISITS MY BLOG.
I recommend Google analytics.It gives you a JAvascript code .All you have to do is to paste that code in your page elements.The same way you did with pasting of adsense code.Then you can view your site's traffic in Google analytics.
You may also put a web counter to check the hits of your blog.

You may also paste ads other than Google on your blog(for eg Amazon ads,yahoo ads)
