AdSense Overviews: Articles about AdSense on InformIT.com
The InformIT.com site is publishing a series of articles I've written providing an overview of the AdSense program. So far, three articles have been published:
- Using AdSense for Content to Rent Ad Space to Google explains briefly what the three AdSense programs are about and then goes into specific detail about the main program, AdSense for content, which lets you make money by displaying Google-supplied advertisements on your sites.
- Find Money with Google's AdSense for Search Program describes how the AdSense for search content lets you make money by providing search facilities on your sites.
- Web Ad Layout and Placement Strategies for Maximum Clickthroughs discusses the layout and placement options for AdSense ads on your web pages.
If you're looking for a simple explanation of how AdSense works, these are great places to start, after which be sure to download the sample chapter of my AdSense book Make Easy Money with Google: Using the AdSense Advertising Program.

If you haven't seen it yet, be sure to check out my AdSense case study, which showcases how to build niche sites that make money using AdSense. Stage 2 will go live shortly, but feel free to check out Stage 1 of the Invisible Fence Guide.
