Important Information

This guide is for the Freeola InstantPro Website Builder. This service has now been replaced by a more modern product, RQS, and therefore is no longer updated with new features.

AdSense is a free service supplied by Google which allows you to display adverts on your web site. When visitors click these adverts, you can make a small amount of money.

If you wish to add advertising to your site, you can do so using the Google AdSense skyscraper in InstantPro.

As AdSense is a service provided by Google, you will need to have a Google AdSense account to use the service.

To begin creating your Google AdSense skyscraper you will need to be logged in to the MyFreeola Control Panel and open the InstantPro Website Builder.
