The Difference Between Google AdWords & AdSense

A lot of people are confused about the difference between Google's AdWords and AdSense programs. And many times, I have seen web sit owners putting AdSense ads on their sites when it really makes no sense to do so. So, I wanted to give you a brief explanation of the differences between the programs and let you know when it does make sense to put AdSense on your site. AdWords is a pay-per-click advertising program where you bid on keywords and write ads that appear on Google when people type in those keywords. When someone clicks on your ad, you pay Google however much you bid on the keyword. AdWords can bring your site instant traffic.

How can you be sure that those 100 visitors will actually equate to profit somewhere down the line, if not immediately? But An AdWords Campaign Can Be Very Profitable Don’t get me wrong, however. An AdWords campaign can be very lucrative. It can create a windfall of profits for your online enterprise… if you know how to play the game. The fact is, a lot of people fail with an AdWords campaign because they d
