AdSense is an advertising program run by Google by which website owners / publishers wthin the Google Network of content sites serve text, images, video, or interactive media advertisements that are targeted to the site content and audience.
These advertisements are administered, sorted, and maintained by Google. As one of the leading names in ads publishing, google has ensured that all publishers adhere to the strict policy guidelines for the adsense program.
To partake in this program, one must have the following first before proceeding.
1. A google account / gmail account
If you’re using Gmail or any other Google service, you already have one. If not, you can create a Google Account when you create your AdSense account.
2. Your own content created from scratch
This can be your site, blog or other original content, as long as you’re the owner and it complies with the AdSense Program policies.
If your site is still under construction, google gives you the opportunity to explore more until it’s ready.
