Google AdSense is the program that can give you advertising revenue from each page on your website—with a minimal investment in time and no additional resources.
Bad think is, that you’ll have to earn $100 before you get payed…
On my experience, less than 1% of the visitors click on the ads. I have put Google ads first to my Virtual Storage and the to other places like this blog. After four months usage, that $100 is a distant dream. I think that it would be fair to pay something, just for showing the ads at your site. I mean, that ads have an influence even when seen, and visitor may read about interesting product and search it afterwards from different place and the actual advertiser gets no profit.
What kind of advertise is showed on your page depends on your decision, the content of your web pages, the location of the visitor and the previous behaviour of the visitor. So advertise content is never the same for different visitors. But if you write about the cars, the ads are most likely to be about cars.
And about the agreement with Google… If the agreement does not scare you then proceed.
You acknowledge that any attempted participation or violation of any of the foregoing is a material breach of this Agreement and that we may pursue any and all applicable legal and equitable remedies against You, including an immediate suspension of Your account or termination of this Agreement, and the pursuit of all available civil or criminal remedies.
First you create an account. You can register for free at Google Adsense.
If I remember correctly, tthe payment transaction was tested in the beginning, which I think is very good. Not like with most of the web earnings, you don’t need PayPal, but you get euros directly to your bank account.
At the beginning you site is also evaluated to see, if it is suitable. But later you can add ads to other pages without new pages being approved.
Then you can choose the style and colors of your advertise script and here’s an example code:
<script type=”text/javascript”><!–
google_ad_client = “pub-6704569940345655″;
//Testi_artikkelia varten
google_ad_slot = “3632896832″;
google_ad_width = 728;
google_ad_height = 90;
//–></script>
<script type=”text/javascript”
src=”http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js”>
</script>
You can choose different Adsense products like:
Normal ads, which can be pictures or text link ad. Then there is Google search box to your pages, but I wonder who might use it. And referring, which are also text links.
Google Adsense provides reports and help for placing the ads at your page, but I have not found them useful yet.

The java script contains of AdSense code contains publisher id. Is that your id? You are supposed to keep your publisher ID safe…people may misuse it.

Thanks for commenting.
I think that publisher id can be seen from any page’s html source. So it cannot be hidden from anyone.

I’ve gotten more than one $100 check from adsense now, and am soon to get my third. Certain things matter:
1. Ad Placement - use Google’s heat map to find the best places to put your ads. It is on the AdSense site. In short - mid content ads are best. I’ve gotten between 3 and 5 percent click-throughs for my ads.
2. Keywords - not all ads pay the same. I had a celebrity blog that paid about five cents (US) per click and a finance blog that paid 50 cents per click. Sites that have competitive keywords make more money.
3.TRAFFIC - eyeballs equal money, plain and simple. You will need thousands, if not tens of thousands of ad impressions to make 100 dollars. A few sites do that every day. Mine did it every few months.

They have lost focus on adSense. We use almost 100% tribalfusion.com today.

Thanks for good comments. I’ll have to pay more attention to ad placement.
