One thing that I like about Google is that they make things easy.

One thing that I like about Plone and Zope is that they make things easy.

In about an hour or two, I managed to put AdSense ads on my web site.

1) Go to Google.com/adsense and sign up for your account. Click on all of the emails to activate your account. Log in and grab your AdSense code.

2) Add a portlet to your custom area in Plone. Paste Google's AdSense code in the body of your portlet.

3) Add portlet to your root Plone right_slots property. Refresh your browser to see your Google ads.
