Why would Google want to give you money?

Good question. After all, you're no huge dot-com company with millions of visitors every day, right? Why would Google care about you? They do.
Look...if they'll work with my crazy Aunt 'Nita, they'll work with you! Here's why.
My Aunt Anita collects miniature Hummel dolls. I'm not a big fan, but she's, well, crazy about them. And she's got a web page that talks about them, and has a few links to Hummel distributors, Hummel discussion groups and mailing lists and the like. You know - a real fan page. So when she put Google AdSense ads on all the web pages in her site, she started to make money from people who were visiting the site anyway, and who started clicking on the ads.
And not just a little money, either. Last month, Aunt Anita made close to $500. That's $6000 a year, for about an hour's worth of work, reading this Guide and putting just the right code on her site to make it work.
