1. Log intoyour name cheap account.
2. Click on Manage Domains.
3. Click on the domain you want to park with AdSense for Domains.
4. On the left under Host Management click on All Host Records.

This will take you to the page where you need to make the necessary changes. When you first set up your account, namecheap sets up two entries for you. A www CNAME and a redirect for @. @ means no host name (example.com instead of server1.example.com)

The way namecheap is set up, there is no link/button to delete existing records. You can just clear out the data but it’s easy enough to just reuse the existing fields.

For the www record, replace the IP ADDRESS/URL field with pub-xxxxxxxxx.afd.ghs.google.com.and make sure the RECORD TYPE is set  to CNAME (Alias)

For the @ record, change the type to A (Address) and paste in the  ip address – 216.239.32.21

Further down the page you’ll have a set of blank fields where you enter the other three A records for the other three ip address with the subdomain settings set to @

I hope this quick guide on how to set-up adsense for domains in namecheap will help aspiring people who want to make money thru it.

While checking my adsense account earlier, I have noticed the adsense for domains set-up option inside. This is a great addition for all Filipinos who wants to make money online.

What is Adsense for Domains

Adsense for domains is Google’s counterpart for traditional domain parking. It allows publishers monetize their unused domains to help users reach relevant information by presenting content on the domains.

Adsense for Domains will allow domainers to point their nameservers to a certain Google server to have the ads show up.

In the past, they only accept domains with 750,000 and above monthly page views inside the program but few days back, they have announced that Adsense for Domains will be extended to all publishers, and they have started with the North American adsense publishers already.

I can’t wait to see this in my adsense setup page to see how it works.
