If you don't know what Google Adsense is then you've been living under a rock. This is pretty much a must have if you want to make money from a website or blog. Google display simple text and images ads on your website or blog that are targeted to what you're writing on your content. Google has been a consistent money maker for my blog.

So, What Is Adsense actually? Adsense is a contextual advertising program by Google which allows website publishers to generate revenue from their sites by placing ads from the Google Adwords network on them. Each time these ads are clicked on by one of your visitors you earn a share of the revenue that Google makes from charging that particular advertiser.

Below is a summary of how the program works and the steps you will need to take to implement it.

1). You join Adsense and on acceptance into the program become an Adsense Publisher.

Make sure you site content is acceptable by Google...Sites displaying Google ads may not include:

• Violent content, racial intolerance, or advocacy against any individual, group, or organization

• Pornography, adult, or mature content

• Hacking/cracking content

• Illicit drugs and drug paraphernalia

• Excessive profanity

• Gambling or casino-related content

• Content regarding programs which compensate users for clicking on ads or offers, performing searches, surfing websites, or reading emails

• Excessive, repetitive, or irrelevant keywords in the content or code of web pages

• Deceptive or manipulative content or construction to improve your site's search engine ranking, e.g., your site's PageRank

• Sales or promotion of weapons or ammunition (e.g., firearms, fighting knives, stun guns)

• Sales or promotion of beer or hard alcohol

• Sales or promotion of tobacco or tobacco-related products

• Sales or promotion of prescription drugs

• Sales or promotion of products that are replicas or imitations of designer goods

• Sales or distribution of term papers or student essays

If meeting the requirement, let's go to register a free acct. and you will now have your own Adsense account in which you will be able to create the ad code to place on your website and monitor the results of your campaigns.

2). Upon Acct activated. Create your custom Adsense javascript code:
You can do this by logging into your account inside which you will be able to choose the particular ad format and ad color that you want to place on your website.

3). You can then place this code inside your website template:
Make sure you’ve chosen an ad format which will fit into the space available in your template. Once you have uploaded your page to your server the Adsense ads will automatically be generated. Pls be sure your ads placement meet google requirement as well:

• Up to three ad units may be displayed on each page.

• A maximum of two Google AdSense for search boxes may be placed on a page.

• Up to three link units may also be placed on each page.

• Up to three referral units may be displayed on a page, in addition to the ad units, search boxes, and link units specified above.

• AdSense for search results pages may show only a single ad link unit in addition to the ads Google serves with the search results. No other ads may be displayed on your search results page.

• No Google ad or Google search box may be displayed in a pop-up, pop-under, or in an email.

• Elements on a page must not obscure any portion of the ads.

• No Google ad may be placed on any non-content-based pages.

• No Google ad may be placed on pages published specifically for the purpose of showing ads, whether or not the page content is relevant.

4). You are done. Google’s content matching technology will deliver ads that are relevant to the page content you have placed the code on:
It may take anywhere from a few minutes to an hour but Google will start delivering ads that match your content. This is the real perk of Adsense - ads that match the content of your page so that they are relevant to what your visitors are reading and thinking about at the time and so more likely to be clicked on.
