AdSense by Google

For the people that know the male human of this trio knows that if there is a way to make a penny without working hard, he will do it.

Google makes money by selling advertising space.  Unlike Yahoo and others they don't plaster the ads on their search page.  They allow other web sites to place advertisements on their pages and pay us.

They have a way of looking at the content of a page and matching the advertisers to what is written about on a page.  An example is if I wrote a page about solar power on a RV, Google would place alternative power generation in the ads.  This keeps the ads associated with the content the reader is reading.

Google in turn pays the owner of the web site a few cents for each legitimate click on the advertisement.  The person has to do more than just click on the ad and leave it.  They only pay for people that look at more than one page and spend some amount of time in that web site.

They also allow us to put their search engine on our site.  Again, they pay us for each search that comes through that window.

Don't worry...We won't become millionaires from this.
