A simple way to monetize your blog is through Google AdSense, but if you truly want to maximize your earning potential through Google AdSense and your blog is published through Wordpress, then you might want to consider using a Google AdSense optimized Wordpress theme to get the biggest return.
You could spend a lot of time experimenting with the placement of Google AdSense ads on your blog, or you could choose to use a Wordpress theme that has been optimized for Google AdSense.
A Google AdSense ready Wordpress theme can help you because all of that experimentation has been done for you already. Ad placement, ad type, ad size and more has been optimized for maximum click-through rates. This is particularly helpful for beginner bloggers who either don't know how to experiment with Google AdSense placement on their Wordpress blogs or don't have time (or desire) to do so.
Typically, you can start running Google AdSense ads using an AdSense optimized Wordpress theme as soon as you copy the applicable code from your Google AdSense account into your blog. Ads will run everywhere they are programmed to do so based on the AdSense-ready theme you're using.
