What is this Adsense people are talking about?.

It is a small ad box that you put on your website or blog that shows ad's that advertisers have paid for in the Google Adwords program, it could be a promotion of a product,service,website or what, but the content of the ad is
relevant to the content on your site, when someone click's on the ad on your page you get money, how much depends on the price the advertiser is paying, it could be 20 cents or 20 dollars and you get a part of that, it is whatever advertisers are willing to spend, look at the top  middle of this page, you should see one of the standard Adsense Banner ad box's, to the right you should see one of the Adsense square or rectangle type ad's, the square and rectangle will usually do better for getting clicks and we will cover that later, but these are what some of the ad's look like that will appear on your site, they can have text or graphics in them, you can pick size color and other things we will cover later on.
