About

Google AdSense is an advertising network that lets publishers earn revenue by displaying targeted ads on their websites.

It supports contextual and audience-based ad selection, offers automatically placed ads, provides multiple formats such as display, in-article, in-feed, and multiplex, and overlay formats such as anchor, side rail, and vignette ads.

Since 2024, AdSense has been paying publishers on a pay-per-impression basis, also known as the CPM (cost per mille) model.

Google AdSense for Platforms is an enterprise advertising solution that enables content platforms, CMSs, and site builders to embed Google AdSense monetization natively into their services.

It allows platform owners to create flexible revenue-share models or full monetization flows for their users, supports segmented sub-accounts to separate publisher traffic from the platform's own traffic, and offers an "Embedded Connect" flow so end users can sign up for AdSense without leaving the platform.
