Introduction

Do you want to make money from your website or blog?

Well, you can—by running ads on your web pages.

To do this, you need to partner with an ad network that works with advertisers to serve ads to your pages. The biggest such ad network is Google AdSense, and a lot of sites make a lot of money from running AdSense ads.

All you need to know is what types of ads you want on your site, where you want them, how big they should be, and other such details. AdSense will determine the most relevant ads to run on your site and automatically serve them to people when they visit your site. It’s really quite simple.

In fact, using AdSense to generate revenue from regular old websites is so simple and so popular that hundreds of thousands of sites have been doing it for several years. Those sites got a bit of a surprise in November 2011, however, when they woke up to a brand-new interface for Google AdSense, as well as a load of new and changed features.
