Make Money From Your Domain

First, if you've previously changed your domain's nameserver, make sure you change it back to point to your registrar's default nameservers.(If you're not sure, you probably have not changed this and don't need to change anything.)

Second, create the following CNAME (alias) records for your www host using your domain registrar. You can find your unique identifier on the AdSense for domains setup page:

Host Name/Alias	Record Type	Value/Destination
www	CNAME (alias)	pub-xxxxxxxxx.afd.ghs.google.com. (where pub-xxxxxxxxx is your unique ID listed on the AdSense setup page)

Next, create the following A records for your domains at your domain registrar (view instructions for common domain registrars):

Host Name/Alias	Record Type	Value/Destination
@	A (address)	216.239.32.21
@	A (address)	216.239.34.21
@	A (address)	216.239.36.21
@	A (address)	216.239.38.21

Note: Please be sure that these four A records are the only existing A records for your domain.

Presto! We'll start serving ads to traffic that comes to your site as soon as the records validate (usually less than 24 hours).

For information on common DNS terms including both A and CNAME records, visit the Google Apps Basic Guide to DNS.

Creating a CNAME record:

1. Sign in to your account at www.godaddy.com.
2. Open the Domains tab and select My Domains.
3. Click the Advanced Details link for the domain that you'd like to use with AdSense for domains.

6. Step 1: In the "Enter an Alias Name" field, enter 'www'.
   Step 2: In the "Points to Host Name" field, enter 'pub-xxxxxxxxxx.afd.ghs.google.com'(where pub-xxxxxxxxx is your unique publisher ID number listed at the top of your account).
   Step 3: Leave the default value in the "TTL" field.
7. Click OK. If you clicked Add New CNAME Record in step 5, you should now see "New record successfully created" and click OK.

Your CNAME record is now configured to point to Google. Please now follow the steps below to set up your A record.

8. Click OK. You should see "New record successfully created" and then click OK again.
9. Repeat steps 6-8, adding three more records using the IP addresses 216.239.34.21, 216.239.36.21, and 216.239.38.21

Note: 1&1 has a limit of 30 characters for CNAME records which is not compatible with AdSense for Domains. For this reason, we recommend using an alternative DNS Service provider. We've provided instructions for setting up your domain with some of these providers, such as EveryDNS.net, DNSMadeEasy.com, No-IP.com, and DNSPark.net.

To use one of these services you will need to update the 1and1 nameservers by following the instructions below.

1. Choose a DNS Service provider and record the nameservers.
