How AdSense works

Google AdSense is a free online advertising program to join that provides a way for publishers, content producers or website owners to earn money from their content. Google AdSense uses an algorithm to match the ads on your website or blog based on your content and visitors. The ads are created and paid for by advertisers who want to promote their products. Since these advertisers pay different prices for different ads, revenue is shared between google and the publishers or website owners as the case may be, as a result the amount to be earned varies.
