fred08 is on a distinguished road
You do not have to be selling anything on a website to use either of these. I'm not sure if you can use Google on Angelfire or Geocities as I do not use either one of those, but google is used on many free webhosting sites. I use blogger. You do not have to pay for any of the clicks unless you plan on using your own ads through Google, so forget about that. Actually , you do not have to pay for anything to use either Google tools.
I run a political blog so I can tell you that the click-ads will change based on your content, which is what you want to happen otherwise your viewers will get tired of seeing the same thing over and over.
I do think that Adsense is the better of the two. I can also tell you that it can take some time, depending on site content, to make any money off of the ads. Naturally, the more viewers of the site, the better the chances that the ads will be clicked.
Be aware that you have to make $100 in clicks before you are paid and that payment is held back until the end of the following month. Example: pay period from May 15 to June 15. You are paid on July 20th to 25. Direct deposit pays you by the 5th of the following month.
It took me 7 months to hit that $100 mark but it has been worth it sense then. There are other good services just like Google so don't limit yourself to just one company.
I did drop Google for another company which lets me pick my ads to be displayed. Only reason I left Google. Google is good for starters though
Need to know anything else, then email me.
There is no quick and easy way to make money on the net unless you're a scammer, so plan on being somewhat patient.
