Adsense and Adwords - Making Money Online

So you're here to find out how to make money online. Adsense and Adwords can help you. By utilizing Adsense in your websites and blogs, making money online just became that much easier. Adsense is an advertising program created by Google, which is free to website publishers. By signing up for an account through Google, you can access a highly customizable variety of advertisementss to put on your site.

Adwords, also through Google, is a very clever program that allows businesses to post ads at a cost-per-click basis. Cost-per-click means that the advertiser only pays when someone clicks on their ad. Here's how it works:
  • Andrew Braddock wants to advertise his mortgage business.
  • Sets up an account with Google Adwords and creates a text advertisement.
  • His advertisement will pop up on any website using Adsense, more often on sites he wants to target, specifically ones seeking mortgages.
  • He allots for $1,000 to be spent at $1.00 per click on his advertisements.
  • After 1 week, his ad showed up 500 times across a slew of websites, but only 25 people clicked on his ad, linking them to his mortgage website. He paid out $25.00 total even though his ad showed up 500 times.

Now, here's how using adsense makes money. Let's say I make a website about home mortgages, and I use adsense on my site. Andrew Braddock's advertisement appears on my site, and one of my visitors clicks on his ad. When this happens, I am paid around the $1.00 he set aside for the click!

That's how Adsense works!

When someone clicks an advertisement on your website, you make money. Simple and easy!
