Well, multiply those clicks for every page on your web site and you will build a monthly residual income with very little effort.What is Google AdSense?
Here is an excerpt taken from Google's FAQ:
"Google AdSense is a fast and easy way for website publishers of all sizes to display relevant, text-based, unobtrusive Google AdWords™ ads on their website's content pages and earn money. Because ads are related to what your users are looking for on your site, you'll finally have a way to both monetize and enhance your content pages".
How much you earn per click depends on how much advertisers are willing to pay. If keywords advertiser has chosen are in high demand you could receive several dollars per click. Alternatively low demand keywords will yield a few cents per click.
How does Google AdSense work?
1. Sign up for a new Google Adsense account at https://www.google.com/adsense. It only takes a few minutes.
2. Once your site has been accepted (usually within one day) you will receive a snippet of code to include on your web pages. You can insert this code on as many pages or web sites as you like. Google AdWords will start appearing almost immediately.
3. You earn a few cents or a few dollars per click when someone clicks on Google AdWords displayed on any of your web pages. Don't create revenue falsely by repetitively clicking on your ads. This will result in Google penalizing or possibly eliminating your site. You may also lose money you already earned.

Your earnings - how much you have earned from Google so far.
