Google AdSense

So now on the left side of this page you'll see the advertisements from Google. Clearly my traffic on this page will never be high enough to earn any real revenue from the ads, but I think they're cool so they stay.

Google makes it easy too. Simply to go the Google AdSense page and create an account. A short time later they'll approve your site, and you simply insert their HTML somewhere in your page. The ads are then matched to your content and everybody is happy.

The only problem is that I'm not supposed to click on the ads, since that would help me earn click-through rates and therefore money. So if I see something cool I have to open a new browser and go from there. Still good stuff though.
