Do you want to make money from your website or blog?
Well, you can—by running ads on your web pages.
To do this, you need to partner with an ad network that
works with advertisers to serve ads to your pages. The biggest
such ad network is Google AdSense, and a lot of sites
make a lot of money from running AdSense ads.
All you need to know is what types of ads you want on your
site, where you want them, how big they should be, and
other such details. AdSense will determine the most relevant
ads to run on your site and automatically serve them to people
when they visit your site. It’s really quite simple.
In fact, using AdSense to generate revenue from regular old
websites is so simple and so popular that hundreds of thousands
of sites have been doing it for several years. Those sites
got a bit of a surprise in November 2011, however, when
they woke up to a brand-new interface for Google AdSense,
as well as a load of new and changed features.
Of course, all these changes were designed to make AdSense easier to use, and
thus easier to generate more revenues from those AdSense ads. But change of any
kind, even good change, can be both surprising and difficult to adapt to. What’s the
new way to do all the stuff you used to do?

users need to know to make money from online advertising. I’ll walk you through
