Google estimates that over 2 million people use AdSense to generate income in return for what viewership their
website is able to command.
Google Adsense is a product courtesy of Google wherein millions of advertisers compete for Ad space on individual or corporate sites. With Adsense, relevant Ads can be served as well as optimised for mobile or desktop. This enhances its chances of being seen or clicked.
The control of the relevance of the Ads is still left to the user as you can lock Ads you do not like, choose which ones fit your site best, as well as customise where Ads appear on your site.
To earn money from your website via
Google Adsense, you will need a:
-
Google Account
If you already have a Gmail account or are subscribed to any other Google service, there is no need to open another Google account.
If not, you can sign up for a Google account by going to mail.google.com and create an account by entering relevant details in the application. Your Google account gets you to access the AdSense service.

Embed Adsense Link On Your Website
All that you have left to do is to embed a piece of code provided by Google in your site. Google will automatically show ads tailored to your site’s layout, saving you time making changes to ad code.
As Adsense starts working, all you need to do, going forward, is to post content as much as possible and garner viewership to grow your income.
