Google AdSense - Free Google Program To Earn Money From Advertising
AdSense is an ad serving program run by Google. Website owners can enroll in the AdSense.com program to enable text, image and video advertisements on their sites. These ads are administered by Google and generate revenue on either a pay-per-click or per-thousand-impressions basis. Google is also currently beta-testing a cost-per-action based service.
AdSense.com - Displaying Relevant Ads
AdSense.com serves 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 Google AdWords. AdSense.com has provided what is now a popular method of placing advertising on a website in a less intrusive way. AdSense.com also ensures the content of the ads is often relevant to the website.
Currently, the AdSense.com program 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.

History of AdSense.com
The underlying technology behind AdSense.com was derived originally from WordNet and Simpli, established by the founder of Wordnet — George A. Miller — and a number of professors and graduate students from Brown University, including James A. Anderson, Jeff Stibel and Steve Reiss. A variation of this technology utilizing Wordnet was developed by Oingo, a small search engine company based in Santa Monica founded in 1998. Oingo focused on semantic searches rather than brute force string searches. Oingo changed its name to Applied Semantics, which was then bought by Google for $102 million in April 2003.
How AdSense.com works
Each time a visitor visits a page with an AdSense.com tag, a piece of JavaScript writes an iframe tag, whose src attribute includes the URL of the page. Google's servers use a cache of the page for the URL or the keywords in the URL itself to determine a set of high-value keywords. If keywords have been cached already, ads are served for those keywords based on the Google AdWords bidding system.
