Overview
AdSense is FREE to use
CPC — You are paid per click
The amount you are paid depends on Google’s bidding system
Ads are automatically determined from your content
Channels are used to your own tracking purposes
You can modify the basic format of the ads to look better on your site
Paste Ad Code onto source HTML file. Content Management Systems generally strip out code that is inserted into posts and pages.
Final Thoughts
AdSense can make you some money, but it takes a lot of traffic to make a real paycheck (500K at least).
The better your site and content the more money you will make per click (CuteCorgi.com earned 10 cents per click, EverymanIT.com earned $1 per click)
