The mechanics of AdSense are as follows:
- Google places ads on your website that are automatically chosen to be relevant to the content of the pages the ads appear on. All you need to do is place some code into your web pages and Google does all the rest.
- If someone visiting your site sees an ad and clicks on it, Google charges the advertiser and shares the income with you.
- The amount you earn per click varies enormously from a few cents to many dollars. This course will explain why the amount differs so much – and how to increase the average value of the clicks you get.
