    Chapter 1 – The Google AdSense Program: An Introduction

    Some first-time web publishers see the Google AdSense program as a very easy way to make money online. All you need a keyword-optimised website and an AdSense account. Choose what kind of ads you will display on your site, and copy the code that is given to you in the pages where you want the ads to appear. Then drive traffic to your site. When your visitors like the look of one ad served by Google, they will click on it. And you earn a small commission out of this.

    Although it sounds simple – just like any other business strategy – earning an income with the AdSense program involves a lot of planning and efforts.

    Basically, AdSense is a good and simple to implement way of making money online, or adding a secondary income stream to an existing website or business. Only the program is often overlooked by both people who are starting a business online and those who have had a website for years.

    It is true that AdSense – or more generally, showing ads on some websites – is not necessarily a good decision for your particular website or business. Some members of the public are 'turned off' when they see ads on a site. And so you need to consider if your site may suffer from from display either text or picture ads. But generally speaking, AdSense could allow you to make more money by promoting to your visitors products and services they might be interested about.

    The Backstory

    AdSense started its life as Oingo back in 1998. The company was owned by Gilad Elbaz and Adam Weissman. The two used the WordNet database as a base for their idea. WordNet is a cross between a dictionary and a thesaurus, and arranges groups of synonyms together into synsets while providing a general definition and links to related synsets. Elbaz and Weissman used this to develop a search algorithm based on word meanings.

    The company became Applied Semantic in 2001, and Google went on to buy it in April 2003. From there, the AdSense program was born and developed further. It can now serve advertisements on RSS feeds, through Google Custom Search results on a publisher's site, on mobile sites, on domains where a site has not yet been built, and on videos – such as the ads that appear on some YouTube videos.

    At first, the program mainly served text ads, such as those you can see appear alongside the Google search results. Nowadays, it serves display ads just as well as text ones. Displays ads are also easier to integrate within a website as they provide a break from written content.

    How it Works

    A web owner will build their site and sign up for the programme. Once approved, they simply copy and paste the Javascript code that Google will provide onto the pages where they wish the ads to appear. Google AdSense then serve ads provided by its sister programme Google AdWords, based on the keywords that appear on the page. The web owner then has to drive traffic to their site and hope that visitors will click on their ads. Once a visitor does this, the web owner will earn money – a small commission generally amounting to a few pennies by click. The more traffic a website receives, the more likely it is visitors will click on ads. The more clicks, the more money for the web owner.

    It has to be said that Google can be quite picky about the sites they originally let into the programme. However, once you have your first site approved, you will not have to have your newest sites approved anymore. Your Google account can then be used on as many sites as you can handle. This can allow you to build your Google AdSense empire very quickly. The only rule is to keep within the Google's term of use. They do kick people out of the programme as soon as they spot a site that do not follow the rules, and it is near impossible to get back onto the programme.

    After you have been approved, you will need to go through the other stages of creating
