AdSense... part 1

An introduction to AdSense

If this is the first time you are hearing about AdSense I will give you a quick description of what it is. AdSense is a Google program that runs ads on the side of your blog. It also works on YouTube by running ads before your video plays. The page or YouTube video makes money for people clicking on the ads. There are other similar services but AdSense is one of the largest.

You can only register for AdSense once you have an established blog or YouTube stream. They are looking to see how much content you have and how many followers. AdSense gears its ads to what you are blogging about, so you have to have articles for them to read to decide if there are ads that would be appropriate. I recommend giving it a month or two before applying for AdSense. It is free so there is no loss if they deny you. Try again in another month.

Another thing to know about AdSense is that the rules for using it are strictly enforced, so it is a good idea to read them and know them. Two important things to know are: is that you can't click on your own ads. AdSense will also revoke their services if you violate copyright laws. It is in your best interest to know the laws so that you do not accidentally violate them. Work hard to get people to your blog or to watch your videos and you will see AdSense work for you.
