You may be saying this is too easy? It is easy, but... there is no catch. This is a great way for businesses to get exposure in various places all over the internet. It also helps them cut down on advertising expenses because they only pay each time a consumer takes a link from a website. Most other types of advertising cost a set amount regardless of if anyone looks at it or not. This is a great method for new businesses that have a low budget for advertising. The more traffic they can generate to their site, the more profits they will make. In turn they can afford to advertise more.
It is a winning situation for all. Companies use it as a low cost way of advertising, website owners use it as a way to earn money, consumers use it as a way to find other products and services they are interested in, and Google uses it as an way to earn more money. In fact, Adsense has become so common you will find it on numerous homepages just by surfing around the internet a little bit.
The amount of revenue you will generate with Google Adsense depends on how much each advertiser is willing to compensate you for a per-click from your homepage. It also depends on the amount of advertising you do on your website. There is no cost to you for placing the ads on your homepage though so any revenue you generate will be profitable. Avoid placing too many ads on your website though or it can become distracting to the consumer. You still want them to focus on making a purchase from your website first. It is very simple too. All you are required to do is paste a couple of lines of coding from Google and place it into the html for your website.
