What is Google's AdSense Anyway?
AdSense is an Ad-Serving Program run by the Google Corporation and extended to web publishers or even bloggers who may not know anything about web authoring. It lets Google serve targeted ads on web pages and you can get to earn a lot if your page is visited or your AdSense ads are clicked.
One of the greatest reasons why the Google AdSense Program has proved to be so successful is because the ads are less intrusive than other traditional web advertising methods like banners. The other and perhaps most interesting reason is that the ads are targeted to the sites to which they are served, and it will be most likely that users will almost certainly click on those ads therefore generating revenue for the web author.
How You Can Sign Up
To sign up for the Google AdSense Program, you fill in a short form and then Google will most certainly accept you to participate in their program. Once approved, Google will fix you some code to paste onto your site. After that our money will just keep on coming....to your own account. How cool!
AdSense Categories
The Following are the Google AdSense Categories you can have your ads served on:
AdSense For Content
This is the most common ad serving technique publishers go for. They are textual (often served), image or video ads. You are paid if they are clicked or per thousand impressions (number of times your page is served).
You can also choose to have a linked list in addition to the text, video and image ads.
Google's policy allows you to have 3 video, image or text ads and 1 linked list per unit page.
Referrals
These ads generally promote google's AdSense, AdWords or FireFox with the Google Toolbar. Payment for this is much different than the Content ads but you normally get paid if the end-user downloads any of them. Your are allowed to place one on each unit page.
AdSense For Search
With this, you place the Google Search box on your site and get paid if someones searches anything from it. However, Google will offset some of the costs it incurs while performing the search operation from your revenue. You are allowed to have 2 of these in each unit page.
How Does AdSense Work
Google's ads are site specific. This means that if you have a site or blog talking about 'Mortgage' then Google serves ads related to Mortgage.
The ads go through competitive bidding and it's very common that the ads may have different prices on them.
Google uses Mediabot, the Robot that crawls through your site and serves you relevant ads, to read the content of you page and serve site specific ads.
Can I be The Next Billionaire
Sure you can and Google's AdSense can all very much help you realize this dream. I know of friends who have made quite a fortune from this and once you try it, you will realize that you indeed can be the next celebrated billionaire.
