Insert AdSense Ad After First Post on Homepage in WordPress

I’m don’t want to go in further details about this code below but to put AdSense ad after first post on homepage just add the AdSense ad code in the following code snippet.

Add the following code in your theme’s index.php file, instead of your current WP loop. Don’t forget to add your AdSense code mentioned in the snippet below:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php $adcounter = 0; ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<?php if ($count == 1) : ?>
          //Paste your Adsense code here
          <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php else : ?>
          <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php $adcounter++; ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
