CoolV (previous answer) is right. Google makes money by its Google ads.\n\nWhen you do a search on sneakers for examples, 8 companies have paid google to be listed on the right.. beside the FREE results for sneakers. \n\nIts good for google (income), and its good for companies because people who are interested in your product are looking at thier link. Its money well spend on thier part.

Its on a per click basis.\n\nThey will display your ads to multiple people - but you don't have to pay for it unless someone clicks and visits your website.\n\nIf they display your ads to 1000 people but only 2 end up clicking then your \n\nClick Through Rate is = 2/1000 or 0.02%\n\nIf you click through rate is lower than 1%, then they may tell you change or remove your ad.\n\nAds cost by Keywords:\nEach keyword has a cent value.\nIt start from 2 cents/click.\nDepending on the key word demand it may be as much as $5 per click! And yes there are websites that pay that much!!\n\nTo get started go this site ... www.overture.com\nGoing to this site will tell you a lot that want to know.\n\nA similar program google is adwords ...\n\ngo to adwords.google.com\n\n\nIn my experience,\nGoogle is cheaper and more competitive\nYahoo (Overture) is olders, not so cheap, BUT less competitive.\n\nHowever, \nGoogle is easy to get out of if you don't want to continue. Overture is little bit harder to get out of - they will charge before you know it.

adWords and adSense are different.\n\n\nTo make money by puting ads on your site, use adSense. You'll earn a fent cents on every click.\n\nhttp://www.index-go.com/google-services/google-adsense.asp\n\n\n\nYou want to buy advertising on search engine & content sites ? Use adWords.

The idea: Allow small-time publishers to monetize their page views by displaying text links from Google's AdWords program. Advertisers pay only when someone clicks on the ads, which are targeted based on Google's crawl of the pages ads are displayed on.

Sorry, they typically don't.  The main reason is because AdWords shows up on search engine results pages.  These are not static pages.  However, I have seen incoming links come about from AdSense, which is an option when doing AdWords.  AdSense shows up on static web pages, not on search engine results pages.

In terms of earning money on Adsense, your mileage varies. One blog with 10,000 uniques a day can earn $50 a month while another may earn $5,000. Or a blog with 5000 pageviews can earn $10 while another can earn $1,000.\n\nIt is not easy to predict how much you will earn from Adsense. The only way you can learn about how your site will perform with Adsense is through trying it.\n\nThe amount you can earn will depend on the \n\n1. Responsiveness of audience to the ads = A travel website that provides information on travel to Spain will attract visitors looking for ways to arrange their travel and spend money on their vacation to Spain. Your site provides the info, but the ads will provide hotels, travel agencies, tourist destinations, car rentals -- ads that are likely to get the attention of the users of your site. This is a site that will most likely do well with Adsense.  However, if you are a gaming website where the main purpose of the user is to play games on your site, then Adsense will not perform as well.\n\n2. Ad format = some types of ads do better than others depending on your content and layout. In our case, large rectangles in the middle of the content is the best, while leaderboards do not generate as much as income. Skys are the worst for us. Experiment and measure the results via channels and see which formats work best for you.\n\n3. Ad placement - check Google's heat map as they have tested where the best placements are https://www.google.com/support/adsense/bin/answer.py?answer=17954&ctx=en:search&query=adsense+heat+map&topic=0&type=f \n\n4. Ad colors - sometimes ads blended into the content works wonders, but sometimes ads that contrast your site colors work best\n\n5. Number of ad units on a page = we are allowed maximum of 3 ads + 1 ad links + 1 search box on a page. Maximize the allowed number based on the resulting look of your page (you don't want an overkill of ads). Users going to your page and reading your content may ignore the banner or rectangle at the top of the page, but may click on the ad at the bottom of the article\n\n6. Smartpricing - the big unknown in Adsense. No one knows how this actually works. But it can affect the pricing of the ads on your site. If the advertiser paid for $0.50/click - but your site is smartpriced - then the cost may be discounted lower (e.g. $0.25). So you may try to develop a site based on high paying keywords but if smartpricing gets to you, then you may not get as much per click as what you are expecting from your keywords.\n\nHere is Google's explanation of smart pricing https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=9562&query=smart+pricing&topic=0&type=f\n\nGoogle's smart pricing feature automatically adjusts the cost of a keyword-targeted content click based on its effectiveness compared to a search click. So if our data shows that a click from a content page is less likely to turn into actionable business results -- such as online sales, registrations, phone calls, or newsletter signups -- we reduce the price you pay for that click.\n\nExperiment with the factors above (except smartpricing, which you can't control), and see which combination works best. Remember though that not all sites do well with Adsense - even if you get gazillions of traffic but your visitors are not interested in looking for ways to spend their money, they won't be interested in your ads and won't click.

My website earns $500-700 a day from Adsense - or 5-digits a month from Adsense.\n\nOne of the best success story with Adsense is Markus Finch, who operates the immensely popular online dating website PlentyofFish.com . http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum89/12751.htm PlentyofFish.com's business model is different from the subscription based model used by the big online dating websites. Instead of subscriptions, Markus relies on advertising, specifically Google Adsense to derive income from his website. In a post at Webmasterworld.com, Markus reveals that he has earned $1 million from Adsense alone in 3 months, and the lessons he shares are:\n\n1. Understand your traffic and how it could affect your keywords.\n2. Create sites that will bring in repeat traffic.\n3. Have your users create content and lots of it.\n4. Do not enter markets with a lot of competition monitized via adsense.\n5. Keep your site simple.\n6.

I'd slap on a Google AdSense tag and then apply whatever income that you get from that to a Google AdWords account.\n\nAdWords will attract the audience thru paid ad clicks.  You'll get registrations for that.  You'll also get visitors that are inclined to click on the ads that are on your forum.  AdSense is a program where Google pays you a %age of their click revenue from ads that they put on your site for you.\n\nDoing this combination will make it essentially free for you to do this.\n\nThe other thing that you can do is pay for text links on similar sites.  This will do a lot to enhance your search engine placements -- the more sites that point to you, the more importance in the search engine Eigen Value calculations [this is how search engines determine search results].

Google Adsense - It works well and on a few of my sites I make $500 to $600 per month!\nAdSense is an advertising program run by Google. Website owners can enroll in this program to enable text and image advertisements on their sites. These ads are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a per-click or per-thousand-ads-displayed basis. Google utilizes its search technology to serve ads based on website content, the user's geographical location, and other factors. Those wanting to advertise with Google's targeted ad system may sign up through AdWords. AdSense has become a popular method of placing advertising on a website because the ads are less intrusive than most banners, and the content of the ads is often relevant to the website.\nIt currently uses JavaScript code to incorporate the advertisements into a participating site. If it is included on a site which has not yet been crawled by the Mediabot, it will temporarily display advertisements for charitable causes known as public service announcements (PSAs). (Note that the Mediabot is a separate crawler from the Googlebot that maintains Google's search index.)\nMany sites use AdSense to monetize their content and some webmasters work hard to maximize their own AdSense income. They do this in three ways:\n1.They use a wide range of traffic generating techniques including but not limited to online advertising. \n2.They build valuable content on their sites; content which attracts AdSense ads and which pay out the most when they get clicked. \n3.They use copy on their websites that encourage clicks on Ads. Note that Google prohibits people from using phrases like "Click on my AdSense ads" to increase click rates. Phrases accepted are "Sponsored Links" and "Advertisements". \nTo get some ‘insider’ secrets on how to boost your AdSense & Yahoo earnings with a unique software Ad tracking program, visit:\nhttp://www.websitetrafficbuilders.com/adsense.htm\nhttp://www.web-site-award-winning.com/adsense-video-course.htm\n\nhttp://www.websitetrafficbuilders.com/web-site_promotion_search-engine-placement-url-placement.htm

In our website, we sell advertising space - both banners via CPM, sponsored text links, and newsletter advertising. In our experience, here are what advertisers are looking for when choosing sites to use for their advertising:\n\n1. Who are the visitors = It is important for advertisers to know whether your site's visitors are what they are after. More than just traffic numbers, they want to know whether they can get targeted traffic from your website. They want to know whether the customers they want are visiting your site.\n\n2. Traffic levels = Advertisers will often ask you how many visitors/pageviews/uniques you get in a month. Some will go to Alexa.com to check your traffic standing (not accurate, but many see it as a good guide). If you are selling banners through CPM rates for example, they will normally ask you how long it will take you to show the 20,000 ad impressions they ordered (or how many they ordered).\n\n3. Your rates = how comparable your rates are with others.\n\n4. Customer service = advertisers want QUICK support from sites they want to advertise on. You need to be quick to respond to their emails, whether inquiring for your media kit or asking your ad rates or checking the performance of their ad campaigns.The key to understand is that advertisers will always look for metrics to help them gauge the ROI they can get from advertising in your website. If they don't think your site will not give them a good ROI, they will not advertise or renew their advertising on your site\n\n5. Monitor campaign performance = advertisers want to see how their campaigns are doing on your site, so they can make decisions fairly quickly whether to change the creative, pause the campaign or increase the campaign. You need to be able to provide them with real time statistics. We use phpadsnew and it is just great (and FREE!).\n\nAs to what rate to charge, the amount depends on a number of factors:\n\n- Who is your audience and how desirable is your audience to the advertisers? If your audience are techies or those who have the propensity to purchase higher-ticket items, then you can charge a higher price as compared to an audience of students.\n\n- What is the rate of comparative websites in your niche? You don't want to overprice yourself out of the market yet you don't want to undercharge as well\n\n- What is the rate advertisers are willing to pay in your site? You may charge $5 per CPM and yet for months nobody's taking you on the rate even though you may get inquiries -- this implies that advertisers think your rate is too expensive. But if you charge $0.50 per CPM and advertisers are flooding in, then you may be too cheap and can afford to increase your rate.\n\n- What is the CPM you get from other advertising vehicles? Do you run Google Adsense, and if so, what is your effective CPM rate with them? Or if you run banner ads through ad networks like Burst Media, Valueclick or Tribal Fusion, what is the CPM you're getting? You can use those values to help you gauge your rate.\n\nSince you're just starting in the game, experiment and see what rate the market will bite. You can start at $1 per CPM and see how it goes.\n\nIn terms of accepting payment, majority (99.8%) of those who will advertise will pay by credit card so make sure you have your own merchant account as well as Paypal.

Google adsense will allow you to earn on a pay per click basis. It is basically the flip side of google adwords. People pay per click to get traffic. You will be getting paid a portion of that pay per click to send them off of your site to the other.\n\nObviously if you have more traffic you will get more people clicking. The down side is that you will be sending them on their way with an ad to omeone elses site. This may be ok or you may not want to. The key is google will check your sites and the ads must be relevent to what your site is about.\n\nI don't think you have to pay but you do have to sign up and have your site qualified.\n\nTo do banner ads you have to build your traffic first unless you go through multiple middle men of some sort where you will get much less money. As far as how banner ads work: when you sign up you will just paste a snippet of html code into your web page and it will cause the banner ad to be loaded and tracked and will allow you to get paid for it. \n\nYou might also consider something called affiliate marketing for some place like amazon.com. You put links for the books or other products that your surfers would like and if they click and buy you get a portion of the money. \n\nLook into other affiliate programs too, the more some of them pay the less valuable the stuff is and the more you are pushing junk, keep that in mind. Just make sure you think it is a good product is what I am getting at. I would have no part in selling an ebook for $40 to get $20 a pop that is all about getting a few suckers to pay more than they should. (I mean a book costs $20 and you get to hold it in your hand, how valuable can this info really be?)\n\nGood Luck

Last year, Yahoo! had a revenue of $3.57 billion, while Google had a revenue of $3.19 billion.\n\nHowever, as you can see from Steve's answer, Google has a greater profit margin.  This is probably because of Yahoo! features like Yahoo! Music that may earn revenue, but are expensive to maintain.
