Sevenoaksart uses Adsense and recommends it to monetise your website
It is very simple to set up and Google has always given us help via email if we have had any problems or queries. Adsense seems to be the ideal partner for the small publisher.
You do not have flashing banners (we have enough flashing animations here anyway) but neat little contextual adds that relate to the content on your site and you can customise them to match in with the colours of your pages

You find many adverts on the secrets of how to make money with adsense and selling "made for adsense" web pages. Our advice is to leave these well alone. Made for Adsense web pages stand a very good chance of having their account disabled.

The simple answer is that web pages should have good content and plenty of visitors.
Do not make the common mistake of setting up a web page with content copied from the web, people will probably have seen this content before and Google will probably disable your account just before you reach the 100 dollar mark. (They will pay you once you have accumulated this amount)
If you have a unique and interesting web site that will not suffer from competitors adverts like an information website or even like Sevenoaks Art Adsense could be the thing for you.
Unless you have thousands of page views a day do not expect to earn a lot but as this website is just a hobby any extra money is a bonus and pays for web hosting and other computer expenses

Google blogs can have Adsense added to them once you have approval and very little html knowledge is needed.

If you have a free web page or social networking page you should check if Adsense is allowed.

Once you have signed up with Adsense it is a simple matter of configuring the code on the Adsense website and then just copying and pasting into your website.
