Does Google guarantee revenues?

Since the revenue that you may earn through Google AdSense depends on the content of each of your webpages or the search terms entered by your users, as well as the availability of related Google ads, Google does not guarantee that you will earn any revenue amount.

How do I sign up?

To get started with either AdSense for content or AdSense for search, all you need is a website that complies with our program policies. If you don't have a website, you can create one using Blogger or Google Page Creator (English only).
Once you've ensured that your site complies with our policies and are ready to join our program, just submit an application. Then, check your inbox for an email from us to verify your email address. After you've verified your email address, we'll review your application and follow up with you via email within 2-3 days. If we approve your application, you'll be able to log in to your AdSense account and get started.

AdWords advertiser can sign up?

Yes. We're excited to help you find yet another way for you to increase your revenue and encourage you to submit an application.

Can I sign up if I am already a part of an ad network?

Yes. However, we do have some guidelines as to how non-Google ads may be displayed along with Google ads. We do allow affiliate or limited-text links.
If your ad network already displays Google ads on your pages, you can still join AdSense and run ads on your site through our program. We allow publishers to display up to three standard Google ad units on any webpage.
Keep in mind that it's your responsibility to work out any contractual issues that may arise with your ad network as a result of serving Google ads directly

Does my site qualify for AdSense?

Does my site qualify for AdSense?
Google AdSense and AdSense for search is open to website publishers of all sizes. Please read our program policies to ensure that your content fits in to our guidelines.
If, after reading our policies, you're not sure if your site qualifies, we suggest that you go ahead and submit an application. Our program specialists will review your site and respond within 2-3 days. If you're approved, you'll receive an email with instructions on logging in to your account and getting started with the program.

How much will I earn through this program?

The Google ads you are able to display on your content pages can be either cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-1000-impressions (CPM) ads, while AdSense for search results pages show exclusively CPC ads. This means that advertisers pay either when users click on ads, or when the advertiser's ad is shown on your site. You'll receive a portion of the amount paid for either activity on your website. Although we don't disclose the exact revenue share, our goal is to enable publishers to make as much or more than they could with other advertising networks.
The best way to find out how much you'll earn is to sign up and start showing ads on your webpages. There's no cost, no obligation, and getting started is quick and easy. You can sign up now from the AdSense home page at https://www.google.com/adsense .
Once you're a part of Google AdSense, you can view your earnings at any time by logging in to your account at https://www.google.com/adsense and clicking the Reports tab. You'll be able to see the total number of page and ad unit impressions, ad clicks, clickthrough rate, effective CPM, and your total earnings so you can get an idea of how well the program is performing for you and how much you can expect to earn over time in the program.

How do I earn with AdSense for search?

AdSense for search lets you offer your users Google web search directly from your pages. By placing an AdSense for search box on your site, you'll generate earnings from ad clicks made by users on the search results pages.
You won't, however, receive revenue from user searches through your AdSense for search box. When users perform searches on your site, but choose not to click on the ads on the search results pages, you will not receive any earnings.

How do I generate earnings?

There are many ways to earn revenue with Google AdSense: AdSense for content, AdSense for search, and referrals.
With AdSense for content, you'll display Google ads on your site. These ads can be either cost-per-click (CPC) or cost-per-thousand-impression (CPM) ads. For CPC ads, you'll generate earnings when your users click on the ads. For CPM ads, you'll generate earnings in your account every time the ad appears on your site.
