How do I Sign Up For Google Adsense?

Google claims to give you ads they think will give you the highest revenue based on your content of course. Though like I said earlier you can influence the choice of ads you get on your page both in terms of color and price.
Signing up for google is quite easy whether you are a site owner or you own a blog. If you have a blog (you need a gmail account) providing you are using blogger.com, from your dashboard choose monetize and click on the Adsense tab. Just follow the steps to register below and you are on your way to Start earning money
The first step will be to choose the type of account you want; Individual (cheque will be written in your name) or company (check will be written in your company name). You also choose how you want to receive your check; through EFT (Electronic Fund Transfer) Local currency Cheque or Secured mail . I recommend getting your mail by mail. It’s better to get your mail by direct deposit especially if you are in the U.S, for those outside the state you could use any other means. If you decide to use secured mail, bear in mind that you will bear the cost.
Next step, enter your site URL. If you are signing up through your blog, your blog name appears here (don’t even think of entering two URL) you can only use one at least during signing up.
Choose the type of ads you want you want and then sign up. Google then ask you to wait for 48 hours for your registration (though in my own blog was just five minutes.

What Is Affiliate Marketing With Google Adsense?

Adsense operation which is a hundred percent google owned service is a program in which google place ads on your website or blog and pay you when visitors click the ads link on your site or blog. You see, publishers or advertisers create an advert and advertise with google. Now google (though a mighty network) do not have all the information a visitor needs, and that in simple plain English means that Google do not own all the internet traffic (people who visit websites in search of information.)
Google therefore wanting a bit of your traffic advertise on your site and in return pay you when customers clicks on or purchase your product. Google however decides what content or ads are placed on your site or blog, its design, how prices are fixed and the initial color. But, having an understanding of how google does this will put you in a comfortable position to manipulate Adsense in a way that generates increase revenue for you.
Google allows publishers to decide on how much they intend to pay for their advert and how much to pay per click of that advert.
Finally, you need to understand that Google decides on the type of ads to place on your site or blog depending on your page content and Google gives you ads that can earn you a few cents per click and sometimes some few dollars.
