What is Google AdSense?

“Google AdSense is a fast and easy way for website publishers of all sizes to display relevant Google ads on their website’s content pages and earn money.”

- Google, July 2006

Through some clever java script and coding, Google matches content on sites to related ads. AdSense is a great program that allows webmasters to earn income through ad revenue by doing absolutely nothing but post content. AdSense is actually a really great program for those who maintain blogs, as blogs get updated all the time and the AdSense possibilities are almost limitless.

“Google utilizes its search technology to serve ads based on website content, the user’s geographical location, and other factors.”
