We’ve heard from many publishers using
WordPress that they’re looking for an easier way to work with Google products within the platform. Today, we’re excited to share the beta release of our official
Google Publisher Plugin, which adds new functionality to publishers’ WordPress websites. If you own your own domain and power it with WordPress, this new plugin will give you access to a few Google services -- and all within WordPress.
Please keep in mind that because this is a beta release, we’re still fine-tuning the plugin to make sure it works well on the many WordPress sites out there. We’d love for you to try it now and share your feedback on how it works for your site.
This first version of the Google Publisher Plugin currently supports two Google products:
- Google AdSense: Earn money by placing ads on your website. The plugin links your WordPress site to your AdSense account and makes it easier to place ads on your site -- without needing to manually modify any HTML code.
- Google Webmaster Tools: Webmaster Tools provides you with detailed reports about your pages' visibility on Google. The plugin allows you to verify your site on Webmaster Tools with just one click.
Visit the
WordPress.org plugin directory to download the new plugin and give it a try. For more information about the plugin and how to use it,
please visit our Help Center. We look forward to hearing your feedback!
