What is all the fuss about Google Adsense about? I wanted to know the answer for this and fast. My friends and family were always ranting about how Google Adsense helped them make money by doing almost nothing.

I put a lot of search into this before I found the right answer that I was looking for. I couldn't believe all that they had to offer. Now I know why this site is so popular and why everyone called it easy money and now I am going to show you how to do the same.

Google Adsense is a site that pays people to post up advertisements in their web sites or blogs. You are paid mainly on the number of hits each advertisement receives and the cost per thousand impression. The advertisement banner that is placed is related to the site or blog topic. These ads are usually placed by keyword so that they are relevant to where they are placed.

Signing up is fast and easy. You just fill out an on-line application, click submit and then paste a HTML code into the site or blog. The HTML code will cause the targeted ads to start showing up on your site or blog. The best part is that you don't have to worry about keeping a relationship with the advertiser's because Google does this for you.

Advertisers are put in an auction to bid on your site or blog. When the auction begins, the advertisers place their bid and whichever advertiser that wins gets to place his ad on your site right then so that there is no waiting. Google will place whichever ad that will generate the most revenue from your page

You can also place a Google search box on your site or blog. Each time a person uses the Google search box to search for an item or site, you earn revenue from this. Place one on your site or blog is easy, all you have to do is copy and paste the code into the site or blog and you're done. It is that simple. Google search boxes allows the customer to search the web right from your site and will also help generate more page views as well.

Well I guess my comment was too long to fit in the whole box. There should be a thing that counts how many characters are allowed in the comment box. Anyway what I was saying was even though the Fair Ads Network is still new I have heard good things about them. If they don't work out I am going to try Adbrite, Bidvertiser or Yahoo Publisher Network. I have heard a few good things about all of them and I'm sure one of them will work out for me and earn me some extra money. Great article though and great tips. :)

I have been using Google Adsense for over a month and I haven't made much from them. What I did, because I couldn't get the code on my site, was just clicked on "add page element" and then clicked on "add adsense to blog" I think I would have been making more money if it would have allowed me to add the code to the blog itself on the edit html section but every time I tried it came up as an error. I have been hearing a lot of bad things about adsense unfortunately because they have been banning members left and right for reasons that are rediculous if you ask me. One friend got his account deleted as soon as he got the $100 payout and it was because he got too many referrals. I thought they wanted people to get referrals. Another friend of mine got banned because he accidentally clicked on one of his own ads. There have been alternatives that I have been looking into and when the fair ads network launches I am planning on trying them. They are not as strict as Google and even though th

Summer, I was told that you can put in myspace but I have never done this before but I will check it out and then send you an email.

I understand what you all are saying but I use my blog and site mainly for my own personal use. I basically just promote my articles or write about things that could help people. You are right though sometimes adsense can compete with something that you are selling. I do a lot of promoting from my blog so people go there when they are lookin for a way to make money. If you would like to see my blog then please send me an e-mail and I would be happey to show it to you. thanks.

I had Google Adsense for my blog...I made a grand total of $0.26!!! I'm not sure if it was Google Adsense or the blog itself (writingup.com), but I found it incredibly hard to paste ad codes into the blog from Adsense, and older blog entries did not maintain any ads that people could actually click on. The only good thing about keeping my blog going was when someone mentioned making money by writing to AC- once I came here, my blog site became a complete ghost town.
