Google’s Adsense program has been delivering targeted ads to web pages for some time and allowing those advertisers to promote products. This has generated a revenue machine that has added much power to the advertiser’s strategies. In addition, Google allows people who host these ads to share a percentage of the revenue when people click on the ads. It’s a win win deal – the advertiser gets a potential conversion, Google gets cash for it and the web site showing the ads attracts cash to its owner.

Adsense is a free program from Google that allows you to register an account and display relevant ads on your web page, blog, or on free article directories like Hubpages and Orble.

This has extended to display mobile and video ads.

For example a web site selling real estate will have Adsense information ads on estate agent services, and other sites with similar information. These ads are paid for by the publisher to Google, and they are specifically targeting their niche areas. You get paid as part of the Adsense program as a way of saying thanks from the publisher for displaying the ad and providing traffic. Google knows that people react well to quality content as opposed to a search listing. Notices how descriptive the sales copy for the ads are on various Adsense enabled web pages.
