Using Google AdSense for Domains in 10 steps

Setting up Google AdSense for domains required the following steps:

1. Most of the domains were registered with the company I have unlimited hosting with. The first step was to make all the registered domains “fully hosted” with the instructions to “Add WWW: make hollyjollychristmas.org redirect to www.hollyjollychristmas.org”
2. Now that I’ve added the “www” I have to remove the default hosting by clicking a little red x. This would make the DNS free to be customized with the AdSense for Domains code.
3. Next I click on the DNS link. I get the warning in big red letters that this area is for Advanced Users Only!  Heaven help us all, here I go.
4. I go to the “Add a Custom DNS Record” section.
5. In the Name section I type “www”
6. In the Type section I select ‘CNAME”
7. Value I enter pub-xxxxxxxxx.afd.ghs.google.com and then press “add record now”.
8. Now I have to go back to the domains section and tell it to “fully host this domain now”.
9. Switch back to Google AdSense and tell it to “Recheck Domain”. Then wait for the results. And wait. And wait. This is clearly not “instant”.
10. Success! Now that I know it works, I have to repeat the steps 48 more times.
