Google AdSense is a free service offered by Google for publishers to monetize their web content. A publisher can be anyone with a blog, Website, Youtube channel or other allowed online property. AdSense has always been most popular ways to monetize the content & stepping stone for people who want to earn online.
The reason for AdSense popularity is because of ease of using it & after initial configuration. Moreover, they pay in time & you don't have to worry about being scammed online.
Getting started with AdSense is easy & you need a blog or youtube channel to get approval for AdSense account. Once you have an account, all you need to do is create ads & place the AdSense code on your blog using free plugins, & AdSense will automatically display ads. Now, When a reader clicks on those ads, you will earn money from it. After this, your goal is to get traffic to your blog & more traffic you get, more income you will generate.
Google AdSense is a quality ad network that is free to join but they have maintained a high level of quality & any such activities where a publisher is asking to click on ads or using illegal methods to get more clicks,will cost you a disabled AdSense account. Once your account is disabled, it would be hard for you to get back an account.
To apply for an AdSense account, you need to have a web-property. That could be a blog, website or anything that is allowed by Google. Here I'm listing down three places where you can create a web property in next few minutes to get started.
