> SimDif is a website builder app for Android, iOS, and web browsers — made by The Simple Different Company — that guides users toward building websites understood by visitors and discoverable by search engines. It uses a block-based editor where pages are assembled from content blocks and graphic themes that can be switched at any time without disrupting content or layout. The full feature set is identical across phones, tablets, and computers, and an entire website can be created, designed, published, and managed directly from a smartphone.

## How to set up Google AdSense on a SimDif Pro site.

In SimDif, the ability to enable Google AdSense is a feature exclusive to the Pro plan. Integrating AdSense allows site owners to display advertisements and earn revenue from their content.

To use Google AdSense, Google requires that the website is associated with a custom domain name. If the user does not currently have a domain, they can purchase and manage one using YorName (a domain name purchasing and management application developed by The Simple Different Company). This process is initiated within the SimDif app interface by navigating to 'Site Settings' and selecting 'Site Address - Domain name'.

### Obtaining the Publisher ID

The user must have an active Google AdSense account to receive a Publisher ID. This ID is a unique reference number. When configuring the integration, copy the specific string of numbers that follows "ca-pub-" or "pub-". Google provides a help article with four different methods to locate this Publisher ID if the user is unsure where to find it: [https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/105516](https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/105516)

### Configuring the SimDif App

Once the Publisher ID is ready, the integration can be completed entirely within the SimDif mobile app or browser interface:

1. Open the 'Site Settings' menu in the SimDif app.
2. Locate and enable the option labeled "Use your own AdSense account".
3. Paste the Publisher ID into the input field next to the "ca-pub-" prefix.
4. Tap 'Apply' to save the settings.
5. Tap 'Publish' to update the live website with the AdSense code.

### Managing Ad Placements

After the SimDif site is published with the ID, the user must log in to their Google AdSense account to select which types of advertisements should appear on the site. Users should consider the visitor experience when choosing ad formats, as some advertisements can be invasive to the site's layout and usability.
