Google Adsense

Google AdSense

Google AdSense is probably one of the most convenient ways to

monetize your static website or blog.   This program is free and you
partner with Google by promoting their sponsored ads on your site.

Every time an ad is clicked on your site, Google pays you a percentage (undisclosed) of what the advertiser is paying them for the click.

Google’s technology can read your pages.   So they will determine what your page is about. And when you paste the AdSense code on your pages,   their technology will generate ads relevant to your content - thus increasing the chances that your visitors will click.

So if your site is about baseball, you will see sports-related ads on your pages.   Google is in complete control over what ads display.   However, you are allowed to filter competitive or inappropriate ads if you wish.

When your earnings reach $100, Google will send you a check (or pay with direct deposit).

Applying For AdSense

Once your website or blog has several pages of useful, unique and organized content, you can go to http://adsense.google.com and apply.

Recently, Google tightened their acceptance policies.   I’ve heard conflicting information on

this, but some have been told that in order to get accepted with AdSense, your site must meet the following requirements…

1) Must be hosted on a true domain name (yourdomain.com)   So that means you
     cannot use a Blogger blog without pointing it to your own domain

2) Your domain must be at least 6 months old

3) Content must be original and unique
