AdSense WILL AND DOES automatically insert ads in the header as well as many other types of ads like vignette ads. Adsense is GREAT
a) if you can get approved
b) to minimise your admin effort
c) you don’t mind a lower RPM (in exchange for less effort doing the admin)
d) you have <50% DIRECT traffic
e) you don’t click on ads on your site
f) you have all the necessary cookie consents in place.

PS you can use AD INSERTER to insert ads anywhere on your site. However…it takes time and requires understanding.
