Google AdSense is a program run by Google that allows publishers in the Google Network of content sites to serve automatic text, image, video, or interactive media advertisements that are targeted to site content and audience. You can use AdSense to place ads wherever you want on your blog, website, YouTube channels and many other sources. Based on your site traffic and number of direct clicks on the ads, Google pays you an amount of money, that may eventually build up to be a regular source of income if your blogs and channels are popular enough.
I work as a football analyst and writer at a British sports website that features a healthy number of ads on each page and subsequently, with the money earned, pays me a handsome amount in return for my articles, a bonus inclusive if page-views are off the charts. This way, AdSense plays a major part in the income of a full-time website owner and a student like me, for whom the income serves a means to a respite from horrible mess food.
AdSense is a really nice way to monetize your internet traffic. Moreover, it's really simple to implement. Google earn majority of their income through ads offered by other websites that they regulate using a program known as AdWords. Google Search also features 'Sponsored Results', for whom the advertisers pay a considerable amount of money per click. The website paying the highest money for the best 'quality' ad gets the top spot on the Sponsored list and so forth.
Why AdSense is a shot in the arm for people with healthy traffic is that you can earn a share of what Google earns from AdWords by displaying the same advertisements on your site, blog or channel. Whenever someone clicks, you earn roughly 68% of the click with Google bagging the rest.
The AdSense name was originally used by Applied Semantics, a competitive offering to AdSense and then adopted by Google after Google acquired Applied Semantics in April 2003. Applied Semantics was started in 1998 by Gilad Elbaz and Adam Weissman. Soon, Paul Buccheit, the Gmail founder toyed with the idea of providing ads related to emails received and sent. A very curious feature of AdSense is that you can review and block your competitors' adverts from your site, for example, you're unlikely to find ads of Snapdeal on Flipkart.
Hence, AdSense is a good way of earning money if you encounter heavy traffic. All Bloggers who get a good number of hits per article, go get AdSense !
