What Is The Difference Between Google AdSense And Google Ads?

What's the difference between Google AdSense and Google AdWords, which is now called Google Ads? The difference between these is, in one account you set up a ads, and on the other one, which is the AdSense, this is where you get your blog or your website monetised. What I mean by that is this. Let's hop onto Google so I can explain it a bit better.

Okay, so if I go to Google and say "buy iPhone", see these ads? These are all ads. And these are shopping ads, and these are text ads. These are controlled by Google Ads or Google AdWords. When you go to YouTube and you see an ad which pops up before the video is played or during the video, that's also an ad. And when you search something on YouTube and the ads pop up along the top, those are also ads.

Let's go to another website where we can see how the ads are displayed. So let's go to Huffington Post, and you will see banner ads pop up like this one. That's an ad that is run through AdSense. So what this website or blog has done is allowing Google this space, or real estate, to place the ad. So that's 970x250 pixels. This is a square shape, think it's a 300x250 pixels. So that's a another ad by another company.

And there will be lots of these ads dotted around this website or a blog, and these, this is how blogs and websites monetise their content. So when somebody clicks on this ad, the advertiser, which is this company advertising Jurassic Park, will get charged by Google Ads, and Huffington Post is going to earn a percentage of that click.

So we don't know how much, but that's how Huffington Post are monetising the content, by creating, by letting Google Ads display these ads over here. So hope that makes sense, and thank you so much for sending that question.
