Marketing (and earning money) on the Internet can make use of a simple tool called Google Adsense. It is worth spending some time mastering Google Adsense for earning money, as Adsense can be financially lucrative.
Small contextual ads published on web sites with the consent of the web site owner is Google Adsense. When selling products and/or creating brand awareness, publishers can create the ads. The ads that are created are called Adwords and they are also a Google sponsored program.
Google Adwords and Adsense go together hand in hand. The person who created the ad pays Google a predetermined price every time someone who does a search on Google or one of their affiliate networks clicks on one of the sponsored ads. This is what is known as 'pay per click.'
Now the beauty of Adsense is that the person who owns or hosts the web site that the Adwords ads appear on will split the amount of money that Google receives from the creator or publisher of the ad. It is a well guarded secret what the percentage of the split is, and it does vary, but for our purposes let's say it's 50%.
If a publisher is willing to pay .40 per click for his Adwords ad, then the host of the web site that welcomes Adsense can expect to see roughly .20 every time someone clicks on that ad that appears on their web site. The other .20 is kept by Google. So basically it is a partnership of sorts between Google and web site owners.
The fact that its placement is highly relevant is one of the most attractive qualities of the Adsense program. In what way? Well, probably the best way to illustrate this would be through an example. Imagine a women's clothing web site owned by Mary. If Mary wanted to monetize her web site with Google Adsense the ads that would be shown would all be related to clothing, and more precisely, women's clothing. If she had a page devoted to shoes, then any Adsense ad on that page would be for women's shoes.
So how do we determine the price per click? The Adwords program takes care of this. Adwords publishers place bids on various keywords. The more lucrative or sought after a keyword is, the more the publisher will be willing to pay for each click. Keywords range anywhere from a few cents to in excess of $50 per click.
It doesn't take a genius to see how a popular web site with a lot of traffic can make quite a bit of money through Google Adsense. Several Internet marketers will actually create specifically focused websites in order to attract lucrative Adsense ads. -
