How does a channel like sun network make money?

how does a news paper like dinakaran or the Hindu make money?

Just in case you didn't already know, the answer is ads. Advertisers pay the channel or the newspaper to have their ads broadcast or prints, as the case may be. The growth of the web meant that it, too, became a profitable media channel. This resulted in the advertisers who previously had their ads on TV or on radio begin to advertise on the web as well. Now here's where a company like google comes in google's
Got a bunch of advertisers dying to advertise on anything that google touches because as we know, anything that google does on the web usually turns to gold. Since ad words already takes up the advertising place on google's search pages, the only place to go is all the blogs and sites that google hosts, that is , google gives out ad space on blogger sites and blogs that it has. this was the case for a while ,until a few months ago these days, ad sense is not restricted to just google sites, any website can host "ads by google"

How does this work?
it involves an application and review procedure :basically, what google does it. it gives all the advertisers who want online space to advertise their stuff the opportunity to do so. and in return for the advertising space on your blog or web page, it gives you the chance to make money.

Now, advertising on the web is a hit dirrernt from advertising in a print publication you don't get money for just placing the ad on your site.

Here’s where the money is essentially there are two ways in which you can get money using ad sense, the first is pay per click (ppc) via this method. you get paid every time someone clicks on an ad on your web page or blog. the second method is pay per thousand impression (ppm) via this method, you get paid a certain amount for every thousand unique page views your web page gets, google has algorithms and formulas that determine what kind of ad PPC AND PPM will get you the highest returns.

So can i keep making money?

Simply put, yes you can keep making money as long as people are clicking the ads on your page. The site freeweblayouts.net that gives people my space templates makes about $100000 a month via ad sense clicks so does that mean you can click on your own ads and it'll count?

Really now, is that even a question to ask? The obvious answer is no. There are tones of people who are caught by the law for click fraud. Essentially, these people, either themselves, or via automated programs, simulate browser clicks on ads. Obviously, for an advertiser, these clicks are useless as they don't result in conversion, and google cracks down on the fraudulent parties. Google themselves give a disclaimer that you can't do, that if done will lead to blacklisting. For example, you can't mention any incentives on your site for clicking on the ads. You can't put ads on sites with pornographic content either.

There have been a lot of controversies about google and its banning policies, with lots of sites being blacklisted from ad sense for seemingly no reason whatsoever, and others getting away scoot free.

Payments

so how much can you make with ad sense?
well, basically, the amount you make is entirely dependant on how many people visit your site: the more the visitors, the greater the chance that they will see the ads and , therefore, click them. there are reports of cyber cafe owners in tamilnadu -Salem making $1500 a month.
High value keyword obviously pay a higher amount per click, but that also means that the content you serve has to be related to those keywords. For example, finance related ad sense ads usually pay more than say cricket related ads. However, some ads can pay really low as well. the thumb rule remains, though, that the more the number of visitors to your site, the more money you can make.

as we mentioned before however, there are certain aberrations to the rosy picture, and cases have been reported of people's accounts being blacklisted for no fathomable reason. However, if you're clean, and of course, popular, you can be assured of some extra monthly pocket money!
