Google is the biggest and most influential search engine today. It currently controls more than half of the search market. It also owns several well-known web properties such as Youtube, a video-sharing site and Blogger, which, as the name implies is a blogging platform. Google did not become what it is today if not for its ability to make money while providing excellent services for almost nothing in return to web users. Youtube, Blogger and almost all of its other properties are free to use. You don't pay a single cent. But Google is a business and just like any business, it has to make money to cover costs and continue operations. This is where Google Adsense and Adwords come in. Google Adwords offers solutions to web advertisers. Interested businesses may buy ads and Google will in return display the ads on its search engine results pages and on websites that are using Google Adsense, Google's advertising program for web publishers. If you are a blog or a website owner, you can make use of Adsense, Google's advertising program to make money on your own.
