Since this Blog is about Principles of Marketing, I thought I should look into Google's free AdSense product:
"Google AdSense matches ads to your site's content, and you earn money whenever your visitors click on them."
The setup was easy enough and linked into the same account that I set up my Blogger account with. I slightly modified my Layout so that the ads wouldn't get chopped off. The AdSense adverts are automatically generated from keywords contained in your website. Presumably since I don't have a lot of content on my Blog, AdSense has a difficult time choosing appropriate ads to display. Last I checked, there were a number of links to Marketing sites, Blog sites, and a video link to 1-800-Dentist.
I did, however, get a match to Pepperidge Farms.
In another Blog that I'm working on, Seventies Television, I take fragments from my dreams and weave them into 70's TV shows, along with some kind of product or company like Ford, Home Depot, or Pringles potato chips. So far, AdSense hasn't hit on any of the products I placed, instead opting for Lasik, DirecTV, and the ION channel.
So I haven't yet figured out this AdSense program - I'll look into the AdSense for Search next, which integrates a custom tailored search engine into your website - but it's FREE and the biggest AdSense earners like Digg.com, ShoeMoney.com, and FreeWebLayouts.net earn hundreds of thousands of dollars per MONTH using the service!
