Google Adsense

Adsense is a contextual advertisement program run by Google, and I'm sure you've seen "Ads by Google" on a variety of websites (this is adsense in action). To get enlisted in Adsense is actually simpler that you might think. What you need to do is to create a blog (or site), publish some content (no junk please), and apply for Adsense.

Once approved, you can start making money without having to do that much. Just paste the code that Google gives you into your web-page and away you go. The code they give you is what creates the ads on your blog, or website. And when someone clicks on these ads they go to the advertiser's site listed in the adsense ads. The advertiser is then charged per-click by Google, then Google pays you a share of the money they get. It's as easy as that - and all done for you as part of the Adsense great service.

I mentioned "contextual advertisement" previously, what this means is that Adsense is smart enough to deliver ads that are relevant to your content automatically. Let's say you have a blog about dog training, you'll see ads about dog training on it. Google technology analyzes your content, decides what it's all about, then finds the ads that are most suitable for the content on your site.

By making Adsense ads relevant to your site, Google accomplishes two things: Ads can enhance overall experience of a visitor to your blog because they are relevant to your content, and they will link to other sites he will be interested in. And the best part is, you'll get paid for that person clicking the links in the adsense ads.
