Imagine... being paid checks by the largest and most popular
search engine, simply for displaying a few ads on your website for FREE?
Well, this is exactly what the Google Adsense program is all about! And when you think about it, it's a revolutionary way of
earning yourself a useful online side income.
Behind the scenes, it works like this: an advertiser goes to the
Google AdWords system, signs up, and creates one or more
advertisements that they want to pay to have appeared either on
Google's search result pages or on "content pages". Those content
pages are web sites run by individuals and organizations that
include AdSense code.
What makes this more interesting is that advertisers don't pay to
have their ads show up on either Google's search result pages or
content sites, but instead pay when the ads are clicked by
customers, that's what we call "pay per click" or PPC. A
percentage of the amount that the advertiser pays Google for
displaying the ads is then shared with the AdSense-enabled web
site owner - you! If,
say, the advertiser pays $1.00 for a visitor to their site through
AdWords, then Google will pay a percentage of that amount (the
exact amount has not been stated by the company) to you, perhaps
$0.20, perhaps more.
You may say $0.20 doesn't sound like much money, but if you have a
few hundred site visitors a week, and some percentage of them
click on these ads, you could easily make $20-$50 or much (much!)
more from your site each week, without having to do any work other
than add the special AdSense code to your web pages in the first
place. It's simple,
easy to accomplish, you never have to negotiate (or even talk)
with advertisers, you don't have to bill anyone at all, and every
month or two you'll get a nice little check from Google corporate.
Cool! Google AdSense
