What is AdSense?

AdSense lets website owners like you and me make money fast without even selling anything. In fact you can often start earning in less than 24 hours and when you get paid, it is Google that sends you a check!

You don't have to run a large site to make money and AdSense works for small enthusiast hobby sites as well as larger operations.

AdSense is Google's program for placing AdWords ads on non-Google websites.

You make automatic money with AdSense.

Content-targeting technology means AdSense ads are relevant to your site's traffic.

Google sells your advertising space for you.

You can maximize your AdSense profits if you understand how the program works in detail.


Some websites make a lot of money from AdSense whilst others make very little.

Make more with New Google AdSense Referral Beta
“Many of you already use referrals to direct users to your favorite Google products. Now, with our new referrals beta, you can select products and services from our base of AdWords advertisers. This is good news for those of you who have wanted to use referrals in the past, but couldn't find a product to match your site's content. With the referrals beta, you can search for products that match up directly with your site's content. And you can customize your referral units to match the look and feel of your site, making it easier than ever to find a referral ad that fits in seamlessly with your site's design and content.

What's more, Google can help make sure you find and display the most relevant, best-performing referral ads on your site. Simply provide a few keywords to describe your site and your users' interests, and you'll see ads automatically displayed that perform best for your site. No more constant updating, rotating products, or guesswork.

As with our current Google referrals, you'll generate earnings when your visitors click through to an advertiser's site and complete an action defined by your advertisers, such as a sale or sign-up. Because these actions are often more involved than a simple click or impression, advertisers pay more for these referrals, which can translate into higher earnings for your site.

While we plan to open this up to all publishers in the near future, this update is currently only available on a limited basis as part of our beta test. If you are interested in being one of our beta testers, please visit the referrals beta site and sign up.”
