One thing that I like about Google is that they make things easy.

One thing that I like about Plone and Zope is that they make things easy.

In about an hour or two, I managed to put AdSense ads on my web site.

Go to Google.com/adsense and sign up for your account. Click on all of the emails to activate your account. Log in and grab your AdSense code.

Add a portlet to your custom area in Plone. Paste Google’s AdSense code in the body of your portlet.

Add portlet to your root Plone @right_slots@ property. Refresh your browser to see your Google ads.
