Contextual advertising is a type of targeted advertising, relevant to the content of the website that reaches the public as text ads, image ads or videos. This advertising system performs a crawl the page and show those ads for products or services according to the words contained therein. Google Adsense is the best exponent of this type of advertising.
Google Adsense

Adsense (www.google.com/adsense) is the contextual advertising system by Google. The platform shows sponsored ads relevant to the content of the page where it is located. These ads, like the sponsored ads of the search engine are purchased through an auction system through Google Adwords, the main source of revenue for Google.

Without doubt, Adsense is one of the most immediate ways of monetize your blog. To get started with Adsense only need a free Google account . Go to www.google.com/ accounts and register with the advertising platform. Note that you need a large traffic base to generate significant income.

Adsense integration is quick and easy. You have only to place the HTML code of the ad on your blog. If you use WordPress, there are many useful plugins for Adsense implementation. However, we must take into account some important aspects:

• Set the color of the Adsense ad blocks to look like part of the content on your site. This technique wii optimize clicks and revenue.

• Note that Adsense allows only three ad units per page. In addition, the service is incompatible with other similar services. Be sure to read the terms and conditions of service before its implementation.

You can also monetize the RSS feed of your blog. To do this you must enlist the source of your blog in the feed management tool Feedburner (www.feedburner.com) and activate the Adsense for feeds.

Try different ad locations. As a general rule, the greater visibility, more clicks. Test different locations and ad sizes will be the only way to optimize your Adsense performance.
