Setting Up - Nuxt Google AdSense

A step-by-step guide to integrating Google AdSense into your Nuxt project using the Nuxt Scripts module.

This guide will walk you through the process of integrating Google AdSense into your Nuxt project using the Nuxt Scripts module. By following these steps, you'll be able to monetize your website by displaying relevant ads from Google.

Install Nuxt Scripts Module

First, add the Nuxt Scripts module to your project. Run the following command in your project directory:

npx nuxi@latest module add scripts

This command will install the Nuxt Scripts module and update your nuxt.config.ts file automatically.

Now, you need to configure Google AdSense in your Nuxt application. Open your nuxt.config.ts file and add the following configuration:

nuxt.config.ts

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: ['@nuxt/scripts'],
  scripts: {
    registry: {
      googleAdsense: {
        client: 'ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXX',
      },
    },
  },
});

Replace 'ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXX' with your actual Google AdSense Publisher ID.

If you haven't already, you need to find your Google AdSense Publisher ID. Here's how:

Log in to your Google AdSense account.
Navigate to Settings > Account information.
Look for the Publisher ID field. It should be in the format ca-pub-XXXXXXXXXX.

Test Your Integration

To ensure your integration is working correctly:

Build and run your Nuxt application in production mode:

npm run build
npm run start

Open your website in a browser and check the console for any AdSense-related errors.
Verify that the AdSense script is loaded in the <head> of your HTML.

Conclusion

You've successfully set up Google AdSense in your Nuxt project using the Nuxt Scripts module. This integration ensures efficient ad loading and adherence to best practices for performance and compliance.
