what is google adsense?

Before getting down to the nitty gritty, i want to go ove how adsense

works in case some things are unclear.
adsense is a hybrid of google's webmaster advertising program called

adwords. in a nutshell, webmasters are paying google to promote their

ads on google.com . every time an ad gets clicked, google deducts a

pre-set amount from their advertising budget.

you can see these adwords ads by doing almost any sort of search on

google and the ads show up in the far right-hand side of the page.

now adsense is a program derived from adwords that allows

publishers(other website and blog owners like you and me) to promote

these same adwords ads on our sites.

then google will pay us, the publishers, a certain percentage of what

the adwords customers are paying google for those ads.
in othe rwords, as an adsense publisher, you are helping google

advertise these adwords ads, and google is paying you a share of the

revenue they earn every time your fvisitors click on your ads.

so let's say you have a web site on chocolate cake recepies. when you

join adsense, google will supply you with a few lines of javascript

code that you paste into your site(it's very easy to do!)

and because of their savvy technology, google can actually read your

page title, content, etc. and interpret what each page is about. so the

ads that show up on your site are relevant to the topic on your pages.

this increases the chance that people will click on your ads and of

course that just means more earnings for you

google will never disclose how much you will earn per click, but you

can earn anywhere between 0.01 and $10.00 per click, and perhaps even

more. keep in mind these numbers are just estimates. google has never

supplied any specific data on how much you can earn. they keep this

kind of information very close to the vest.

so once your account reaches $100.00 google sends you a check . and you

can even have them direct deposit the check right into your

bankaccount.

i'll go into how to apply for adsense at the end of this book, but

first i want to go over some things you need to know and understand

before you even create your blog or website
