AdSense

By Marziah Karch, About.com

Definition: AdSense is a Google system of advertising for the Web. Subscribers can insert fairly unobtrusive Google ads and earn revenue from the users who view the ads or click on them. The ads are targeted to the keywords on the web page.

AdSense also experiments with other forms of ads, including print, radio, television, and YouTube videos.

AdSense ads can be put on blogs, Web pages, RSS and Atom feeds, YouTube videos, search engine results, and "parked" Internet domains.
