ant to earn some money from your web site? Google AdSense is a fast and easy way for website owners to start earning money. Once approved, Google will let you paste a snippet of javascript code onto your page which opens up the ability to display from 1 to 10 ads on your page.
Why would you want to give up valuable real estate, and why would you want to take a chance that your visitor will leave you to visit another site? For the income, of course. Google will show ads that usually match the content of your site to your visitor, and if the visitor clicks on one of the ads, Google will share with you the income it receives for that click.
Google AdSense is a complementary product to Google AdWords. With Google AdWords, advertisers bid on keywords and keyword phrases, for the privilege of having their small ad shown whenever a searcher enters those keywords into the Google search box. Those are the ads that show on the right hand side of the search results. If you show Google AdSense ads on your page, similar ads will show on your page.
Like Google AdWords, what looks very simple can actually be very tricky. The difference between ads that get a small number of clicks, and ones that people can't stay away from, is very small. And with AdSense, you have no control over which ads show or what they say, so the tricks of the trade are much more important. I just read about an affiliate marketer who uses Google AdSense, and he claims that a small change in the way he shows his ads caused his daily Google AdSense income to shoot up by $200.00 per day (yes, he has a lot of pages, but $200.00 per day, every day, for the rest of his life, is significant).
