Google Adsense is a program for web publishers that allow them to generate revenue from content they publish on the internet. Webmasters paste some JavaScript that Google provides into their web page and after the Google mediabot crawls the page advertising that is relevant to the content on the page is displayed.

The publisher is paid each time a visitor clicks one of the Adsense ads. Advertisers pay Google each time their ad is clicked and a percentage is paid to the publisher. The side of Google's advertising business that advertisers belong to is called Google Adwords.

Google publishers are paid at the end of each month if their account balance exceeds $100.00. Adsense publishers can choose to receive a check or direct deposit.
