What is Google AdSense?
Google AdSense is a monetizing network that allows publishers to display Google Ads on their blogs or websites. Publishers make money from those targeted ads. Currently, AdSense is the biggest ad network based on ‘Cost-per-click’ (CPC) advertising service.
In short, when you put ads in your blog and someone visiting your blog clicks on those ads – you make some revenue. It depends on site traffic (Cost-per-impression) also.
There’s another program for Advertisers known as Google AdWords. It’s just opposite to AdSense, where Advertisers pay some money to drive traffic to their products. Google itself generates a huge income with AdWords.
