How do I remove AdSense unit from my web page?

Answer:

The process is easy if you remember where you place the code. Otherwise you will need to find it. Follow these steps:

1. Open the file for the web page you placed the code in.
2. Locate the AdSense JavaScript code that you pasted into the page earlier. It look like this:

   <script type="text/javascript"><!--
   google_ad_client = "pub-01234567890123456";
   //120x240, vertical homepage
   google_ad_slot = "0123456789";
   google_ad_width = 120;
   google_ad_height = 240;
   //--></script>

   <script src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js" type="text/javascript">
   </script>

3. Remove the above code from your web page.
