1. Google Adsense

Google Adsense is the most popular way for people to earn money from their website or blog. When you become a Google Adsense you publisher you get paid for showing Google Ads on your web pages. Google pays you as the publisher a portion of the ad revenue generated by the ads that appear on your website.

The updside to Google Adsense is the fact Google has a huge base of advertisers and strong competition for their ad inventory. That means the amount of money you'll be splitting with Google is likely to be larger than some of their competitors. On the flipside Google is one of the few companies who dont' tell you the percentage of revenue they share with you.
