Adsense on twitter

Adding your AdSense code to HootSuite doesn't place ads on your Twitter profile page.

Ads are displayed on any links you tweet out that have been shortened via the ow.ly URL shortener.

Try this:

1) On Google AdSense, create a new ad that is a 234x60 half-banner.

2) In HootSuite, click on Settings and paste the AdSense code. Then choose which Twitter profiles you'd like to display ads for.

3) In HootSuite, create a new tweet. Add a link to this tweet by entering in a URL and clicking "Shrink it!" -- the URL will be shortened via the ow.ly URL shortener.

4) When you send the tweet, any users who click on the ow.ly link will be shown an AdSense ad in the top banner. With each click, there's a 50% chance it will show your AdSense code, and a 50% chance it will show HootSuite's AdSense ads.

5) Send out more tweets and start monetizing your links!

When you send a tweet with an ow.ly URL, you can also track clickthrough stats in HootSuite -- check out the "Stats" page.

If you choose not to show any AdSense ads for a Twitter profile, no ads will be displayed on ow.ly links sent out from that profile.
