# Monetize your PWA with Google AdSense

Source: https://www.goodbarber.com/help/connect-external-ad-networks-r45/monetize-your-pwa-with-google-adsense-a318/

## 1. Create an AdSense account

1. Go to Google AdSense platform: [https://adsense.google.com/](https://adsense.google.com/)
2. Sign up for an account by following their [instructions](https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/7402253?hl=en) .

You might notice that some of the options in your new AdSense account are grayed out. That's because there are a few tasks that you need to complete before you can fully activate your account.

## 2. Activate your AdSense account

Once you created your AdSense account, the next step is to get your account activated.
You need to do this before you can set up ads on your PWA.

Please read and follow Google Adsense steps required to do so:
[https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/7402256?hl=en](https://support.google.com/adsense/answer/7402256?hl=en)

To connect your site (PWA) you'll need to verify your site ownership.
1. Create your [Ads.txt file](https://www.goodbarber.com/help/connect-external-ad-networks-r45/add-an-ads-txt-file-to-your-pwa-a353/) and add it to your PWA
2. Sign in to your [Google AdSense](http://www.google.com/adsense) account, click "Sites"
3. Click **+ New Site** and add your PWA url
4. Select the verification method: **Ads.txt snippet**and check the box: *I've published the ads.txt file*
