Advantages: Easy money, quick to set up

Disadvantages: $100 minimum payout will be too high for some

Google Adsense allows you to display adverts on your website or blog in order to make a bit of extra income.

I've been a Adsense user for around 6 months now and I'm pretty impressed with it so far. Registration is free and easy and you can be displaying ads on your site in a matter of minutes.

Rather than choosing an advertising category or a specific advertiser, Google matches the ads to the content of your website. So, if your website is about football, your ads will be about football too.

There are several different sized advertising blocks to choose from, and you can specify if you want text ads or image ads or a combination of both.

An easy-to-use control panel keeps you up-to-date with how much money you've earned and which ads have been raking the most in.

Payments are made a month or so in lieu. So your January ads will be paid in the first week of March... assuming you've reached the $100 minimum payout limit. Payments are made by cheque or bank transfer, and have always been pretty prompt for me.

Adsense is a good product if your website has the visitor numbers to make it worthwhile.

Summary: If you've got a high-traffic site, Adsense is well worth it
