Google Adsense


Google AdSense is a program run by Google Inc. that allows publishers in

the Google Network of content sites to serve automatic text, image, video, and

rich media adverts that are targeted to site content and audience. These 

adverts are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google, and they can 

generate revenue on either a per-click or per-impression basis. Google 

beta-tested a cost-per-action service, but discontinued it in October 2008 

in favor of a DoubleClick offering (also owned by Google). In Q1 2011, Google 

earned US $2.43 billion ($9.71 billion annualized),or 28% of total revenue, 

through Google AdSense.



Overview

Google uses its Internet search technology to serve advertisements based on 

website content,the user's geographical location, and other factors. Those

wanting to advertise with Google's targeted advertisement system may 

enroll through Google AdWords. AdSense has become a popular company 

in creating and placing banner advertisements on a website, because the 

advertisements are less intrusive than most banners, and the content 

of the advertisements is often relevant to the website.

How Adsence Works

1. The webmaster inserts the AdSense JavaScript code into a webpage.

2. Each time this page is visited, the JavaScript code uses inlined JSON

    to display content fetched from Google's servers.

3. For contextual advertisements, Google's servers use a cache of the 

    page to determine a set of high-value keywords. If keywords have 

    been cached already, advertisements are served for those keywords 

    based on the AdWords bidding system.

4For site-targeted advertisements, the advertiser chooses the page(s) 

    on which to display advertisements, and pays based on cost per mille 

    (CPM), or the price advertisers choose to pay for every thousand 

     advertisements displayed.

5. Search advertisements are added to the list of results after the visitor 

    performs a search.

6.Because the JavaScript is sent to the Web browser when the page is 

   requested, it is possible for other website owners to copy the JavaScript 

   code into their own webpages. To protect against this typ of fraud, 

   AdSense customers can specify the pages on which advertisements 

   should be shown. AdSense then ignores clicks from pages other than 

   those specified.
