About Google AdSense program

Google AdSense is currently the largest online advertising service. Advertising type is CPC (cost per click).

How it works

Webmasters go to google adsense page and fill a form to apply for an AdSense account; you also have to mention your web site URL and if your site meets the Google AdSense quality standards then Google will send a note telling you that you ware accepted.
Then you login to your AdSense account and basically copy a html code, you paste that html code inside your site code and in around 10 minutes you should see the ads appear on your site.

When someone clicks an ad then you get paid.

Getting started with AdSense

I am working with AdSense for years but at first I didn't give it much attention, my main income was from selling web design components like flash menus, php scripts, and similar things, but now I also earn from AdSense. I tried to teach some friends but it didn't work out well, I think you need more patience that you would estimate :), as others said, it it not a get rich quick game and I would say you need at least a year to see some significant income.

If you are a beginner that doesn't know much about creating websites or customizing html code, then I would recommend that you start with www.Blogger.com , by default you have a long address formated as: http://_your_picked_name.blogspot.com but you can pay $10/year and get a domain you like, then associate this domain with your blog, so your address is nicer, like: www._blog_name_.com I can help you with this, maybe is best to pick a domain after you already made some posts, just to make sure that you are comfortable with writing posts :)
