AdSense Program Description
What is AdSense
AdSense is a program run by Google that allows website owners to display ads on their site and earn money from clicks or views of those ads. Advertisers use AdWords, another program run by Google, to create and display ads on the AdSense network. The ads are targeted to the content of the website, so the ads displayed on a cooking blog, for example, might be for kitchen equipment or recipe books. AdSense is a pay-per-click program, which means that website owners earn a small amount of money each time someone clicks on one of the ads displayed on their site.
More details
AdSense is a free program that website owners can sign up for. Once they are approved for the program, they can place a small piece of code on their website that will display ads. These ads are targeted to the content of the website, so the ads displayed on a sports website, for example, might be for sports equipment or sports-related travel packages. Advertisers use Google's AdWords program to create and display ads on the AdSense network. When someone visits a website that is part of the AdSense network and clicks on one of the ads, the website owner earns a small amount of money. This is known as cost-per-click or CPC.
In addition to CPC, AdSense also offers other ways to monetize your website like CPM (cost-per-impression) where you'll get paid for displaying the ad on your website, and CPA (cost-per-action) where you get paid when a user performs an action like signing up to a service or making a purchase. AdSense also allows website owners to customize the look and feel of the ads to match the design of their website.
AdSense also provides detailed analytics for website owners to track the performance of their ads, such as how many clicks or views they are getting and how much money they are earning. This can help website owners optimize their ads for better performance and higher earnings.
