Getting started with Adsense

Google Adsense is a great way to make money online. It is one of the most popular ways and will continue to be that way for a long time. Adsense is a very simple idea: You make money when someone clicks on an advertisement on your website. The advertisements come from Google Adwords, an advertising solution for business owners via Google.

You can start up a free blog with blogger. Blogger allows you to create a completely free website on almost any topic. Blogger is actually a part of Google, so it allows for easy integration of adsense ads into your website. Blogger is the easiest site creation tool, has a lot of tutorials and is very user friendly. After you get your blog started, it is strongly advised that you have at least 10 or 15 long posts before you consider putting adsense on the site.

Setting up a Google Adsense account is a very simple process and can be completed in just a few minutes. After your account is created, in most cases, Google will want to review the website that you are wanting to put Adsense onto, so that they can be sure that you are abiding by the TOS (terms of service).

After your account is set up and your website is approved, there is really nothing else that you need to do to make money with adsense except for getting web traffic to the site. Getting traffic is another article though.
