Google doesn’t only allow you to set up a blog for free.
It also allows you to earn money from your blog.
An easy way to monetize your blog is through Adsense.
As you would have already known, Adsense allows you to place ads on your blog.
These ads are served by Google. When a visitor clicks on an ad and visits the advertiser’s page, Google earns money.
