What is Google Adsense?
Whether you are in the boardroom, or at home, understanding Google Adsense is relatively easy. Google Adsense is a very simple solution, which allows Google to display contextually relevant advertising alongside web information. Adsense is in fact the middleman between an advertiser and a publisher. The advertiser will create his advertisement on Google Adsense. The publisher will tell Google Adsense that it has inventory available. Then Google will place the advertisements on the publishers’ inventory, charge the advertiser for it and then pay the publisher after deducting a commission. The advantage of using this system is that both the advertiser and the publisher have no need to contact each other. Publishers can simply focus on producing good quality content and it will automatically be sold to advertisers. Inventory is not a complicated term: In the context of online publishing, inventory can be an article that was written in plain text, but it can also be other content such as videos, presentations and sound recordings. Contextually relevant advertising is enabled because Google automatically knows about our inventory: For example, if it knows that your article is about insurance, it will automatically place insurance ads within the article. In cases where Google has the permission to do so, it will also place personalised advertising on your content that is unique for each reader. For example, if your reader searched for flights to New York before visiting your article, and then reads your article on home insurance, one of the ads he will see on your page may be about discounted flights to New York, and another add may be about home insurance. By using this technology, Adsense increases the chances that your reader will visit some of the advertising, which will result in revenue for you, the publisher. Adsense is not complicated. It has been simplified to the extent that anyone who knows how to use a computer, can learn how to use it in less than 10 minutes.
“A good digital marketing plan will always integrate well with Google Adsense..” (Adriaan Brits)
