Tip #3268 - AdSense Printer Friendly Version | E-Mail This Tip
AdSense
After mentioning this
term in one of the tips last week, I received several e-mails from all
of you wondering what exactly it is. I'm sure most of you can figure out
that it has something to do with advertisements, but what else does it
entail? Where does the term come from, etc., etc.? Those are all good
questions and I'm here to answer them for you right now!
Basically, AdSense
is an advertisement serving program that was created and is maintained
by Google. (There's nothing those folks over at Google don't do, is there?!)
If you are a Web site owner, you are able to take part in AdSense in order
to put text, image and even video ads on some of Google's sites. All of
the ads are taken care of by Google, while they make their profit on a
per-click type of basis. So, every time someone visits a Web site that
contains your ads, Google generates some of the revenue, but you also
get to enjoy the benefits of advertising for yourself.
Google works to place
your ads on other sites that are similar in content as well. They use
your geographical location and other factors to make this happen. AdSense
is also very popular, because their ads are more personable than most
Web site banners are and as I said earlier, they go along with the content
of each particular site. If you are a Web site owner and would like to
get involved with AdSense to get your name out in the online world, you
can sign up right here
from AdWords. Everything else that you need to know about the service
is explained there as well.
