📢 What is Google AdSense and Why Should You Care?

Imagine turning your blog or website into a money-making machine with almost zero effort. That's exactly what Google AdSense does! It's like having a tiny money-making robot that works 24/7 on your website.

When people visit your site, Google automatically shows ads that match your content. Every time someone clicks an ad, you earn money. It's that simple! Even small websites can start earning between $100 to $500 per month, and popular sites can make thousands.

🎀 Why Next.js is Your Website's Superhero

Next.js is like a Swiss Army knife for building websites. It's super fast, easy to use, and makes your site look professional with minimal effort. Here's why it's awesome:

• Lightning-Fast Loading ☄️: Your pages pop up almost instantly
• SEO Magic 🧚‍♀️: Google loves websites built with Next.js
• Works for Any Website 👏: Blogs, online stores, portfolios - you name it!

📈 Adding Google AdSense to Your Next.js Website: Step by Step

Step 1: Get Your AdSense Code

First, create a Google AdSense account. Once approved, Google will give you a special code snippet that looks like this:

<script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"></script>
<ins class="adsbygoogle" 
     style="display:block" 
     data-ad-client="ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX" 
     data-ad-slot="XXXXXXXXXX"></ins>
<script>
  (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});
</script>

Step 2: Create an AdSense Component

Create a new file called AdSense.tsx in your Next.js project:

"use client";

import React, { useEffect } from "react";

const AdSense = () => {
  useEffect(() => {
    // Safely load AdSense script
    if (typeof window !== "undefined") {
      const script = document.createElement("script");
      script.src = "https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX";
      script.async = true;
      document.head.appendChild(script);
    }
  }, []);

  return (
    <ins
      className="adsbygoogle"
      style={{ display: "block" }}
      data-ad-client="ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"
      data-ad-slot="XXXXXXXXXX"
      data-ad-format="auto"
      data-full-width-responsive="true"
    ></ins>
  );
};

export default AdSense;

Step 3: Add Type Declarations

Create a global.d.ts file to help TypeScript understand AdSense:

declare global {
  interface Window {
    adsbygoogle: any[];
  }
}

export {};

Step 4: Update Content Security Policy

In your next.config.js, add these settings to allow AdSense:

module.exports = {
  async headers() {
    return [
      {
        source: '/:path*',
        headers: [
          {
            key: 'Content-Security-Policy',
            value: `
              script-src 'self' https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com;
              img-src * data:;
            `,
          },
        ],
      },
    ];
  },
};

This is a simplified version of next.config file, you may need to add more directives into CSP (Content Security Policy). I debugged a lot using Google's dev tool to track down what other URLs from Google should be added into the file.
