By looking at the internet a few years ago, you will see that advertising is done in the same way as other types of media such as television, or in fact, similar to what you have seen in the newspaper.
You can also add a site, and sometimes you can see an ad (usually these were bulk), which would present and advertise to any company that paid for the extensions in your space.
But there was a problem with that kind of advertising. It was not really offensive to the fact that the additions were not in a particular newspaper, but rather were posted online.
You have probably noticed many things like these in the pages you have browsed. You look in an online store, you want a watch, but you get a car ad.
Although you may, in time, want to buy a car, you are currently looking for a watch, and it would be good if the ad advertises the watch, because then you would probably have clicked it.
This is what the Google people were thinking, so they came up with a deadly idea. This is known as Google AdSense, and is known as a targeted advertising program
What you do (as a web designer / website owner) is that, instead of jumping on hoops to get an ad on your site that your visitors are not interested in, you simply provide a specific screen region.
Then sign up for the Google AdSense program, inserting a small snippet of code into your webpage and Google assures you that in the area you are referring to, an ad will appear, adding additional content related to your site content.
It is very easy for Google to do this because Google is a search engine company. Browsing keywords to your page, searching websites to find anything related to your page and the presto: targeted ad.
You (the webmaster) are paid per visitor who clicks an Adsense ad on your site. Now that will often happen with a traditional ad because people are more interested in what is in that ad (otherwise, they wouldn’t be on your page right?).
But, this also does wonders for people who want to advertise. And for the same reason. The good thing about Google AdSense is that all the content in the ad is compatible.
This coherence is the key to the success of the plans, and the reason why everyone stays happy. The advertiser has a well-placed ad, the publisher earns money for his content, and Google takes credit for it.
Yes, as always, Google has set high standards for its AdSense program, in terms of appearance and function. You must not have more than two such ads on your website and Google only incorporates text into these ads.
So the added advantage is that AdSense advertising does not hold much and then ordinary advertising. But that also means you have to place an ad better because it is possible for visitors to miss out completely.
So in the end, Google AdSense is a different kind of advertising because the ads are more relevant to the site's content. Anyone who wants to advertise pays Google for it. Anyone who wants to place ads on their site does so via AdSense, which is paid by Google through the process.
Everything done is done with Google, and advertisers and publishers get access to statistics that help them understand and oversee the effectiveness of their campaign.
The whole process is beautiful, simple and effective from anyone on the list, from site visitors to advertisers, and is one of the reasons why Google is known for designing and innovating.
