Google Adsense for Domains

Google Adsense for Domains
The best way I've found to setup Google Adsense for Domains on our system is to set the domain to always use www.

First remove the default hosting you need to go to the Domains > Manage Domains section. https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=domain.manage& There you will see two little red X for each domain. You want to click the smaller X in the Web Hosting column. You will get a popup asking if you want to remove hosting for that domain, click OK. Now your DNS should be free to do whatever you want. You can now click the DNS link and make any changes you need.

1. Go to the Domains > Manage Domains section. https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=domain.manage& 2. Click the DNS link next to the Domain. 3. In the center of the page it should say Add a custom DNS record 4. Enter these settings: Name: www (type this before your .yourdomainname.com) Type: CNAME (from dropdown menu) Value: pub-xxxxxxxxx.afd.ghs.google.com Comment: leave blank 5. Press the Add Record Now button. 6. The page will reload and a link at the top under "Success!" will need to be clicked to see your changes. 7. Do not click the Update link which can only be clicked once every 12 hours (wait until after you have completed     all the steps below) 8. Enter all four of the Google Adsense A records: Name: BLANK (“name field” left as BLANK as oppose to the adsense walkthrough which says you need to put an “@” value.) Type: A (from dropdown menu) Value: Each of the four IP addresses Adsense states (example: 216.239.32.21) 9. Click the Refresh DNS for yourdomainname.com link. 10. Go to your Google Adsense account and click “Request Ownership Verification” on the Actions drop-down.
