1.2 What Can it do for Me?
In three words, earn you money. More relevant ads
on your pages translates into more clicks–and more
Google provides the ads, you don't have to spend time
talking to your advertisers.
AdSense represents advertisers that span the
spectrum. These advertisers range from large global
brands to small and local companies. And ads are targeted
by geography so global businesses can display local
advertising easily. One more thing: you can use AdSense
in many languages.
So how does AdSense figure out how to do all this
targeted advertising? Well, AdSense has the ability to
deliver relevant ads because the gurus at Google
understand how web pages really work and they're
continually refining their technology to make it smarter all
the time.
For example, some words can have several different
meanings depending on context. You've seen th is happen
with —two" and —too" and —to." Google technology is smart
enough to understand these distinctions from the context
that the word appears in, so you get more targeted ads.
When you put a Google search box on your site you
start making money off of web searches that people do on
your site. This ability to search off of your page keeps
them on your site longer–since they can search from right
there where they are–and it will only take you a few
minutes to get AdSense up and running. The best part, of
course, is that AdSense is free for you to use.
