Adding Ads is quick and easy in WordPress. Once you’re done with the Adsense Ad unit creation, Google displays the HTML code for the ads.All you have to do is copy and paste this code into the HTML code for your web page.
But before we start, In case if you want to center the ads in your webpage, you need to modify your Adsense code.Otherwise you can use the code straightaway.Try any one of these two ways to center your ad block.
1) <center> your Adsense code here </center>

Secondly, through your Blog theme.
If you have purchased a theme for your site, you can easily do Ad Management with your theme’s options panel. Look for ‘Ad Management’ feature in your theme dashboard.
You can control everything from here, without using separate plugins.

Step 2: Open Ad Management, you can now choose to ADD Adsense code either Below Post Title or Below Post Content.

Your website now displays the ad block at your desired locations, with ads relevant to the content on your webpage.In case if the ads don’t show-up, you need to wait a while for the ad unit to become active.
Winding Up:
In addition to Google Adsense, this process is applicable to display any banner advertising . For better placement control, I recommend you to try ‘Google Adsense’ or ‘Simple Ads Manager’ WordPress plugin. With Google Adsense plugin you can manage only Adsense Ads.
