In order to be able to put your Adsense on your Wordpress blog, you will need your own domain and hosting. I recommend using Hostgator. Free web hosts are not good for Wordpress, as problems with the database may occur (this happened to me, therefore I decided to go for a paid host). Then just install Wordpress (download it from wordpress.org) and upload a nice free WP theme with integrated Adsense link unit(s). You can try my Adsense ready Wordpress themes.

Good luck with your Wordpress blog and Adsense!

Website design

Your website design refers to the look of your site. This refers to its layout. You can come up with your design using free web development tools or commercial web development websites. There are also ready made website designs otherwise known as templates. You can acquire these templates for free or for a fee. Nowadays, you can easily create your own website because of easy- to-use website builder and web development tools.

Web hosting provider

Your web host serves as the storage of your web content. For your web site to be visible online, its content should be placed on a computer server. Your domain name points to your web host where your website contents are located. Your web host also provides tools for managing your website such as back up and file management facilities. Web hosts come in different packages depending on your requirements. Free host providers are available. However, in most cases there are strings attached. Paid webs host should be a better option if you are after web host reliability and customer support. For detailed instructions on how to choose the right web hosting provider, I recommend to check out a web hosting guide.

Website Content

Your content is what is published online. It can be a combination of text, images, audio or video. All of these inputs comprise the niche of your website. Generating contents for your web site is not a one shot deal. You have to regularly update your content to ensure regular site visitors. Nobody will bother to visit your website if it does not contain relevant and updated information. The overall visual look and corporate identity of your website is also important. A stylish logo design for your website is also a good identical feature of your site and it can make your visitors come back and back again.
