Ten years ago we launched AdSense to help publishers earn money by placing relevant ads on their websites. I can still remember the excitement and anticipation as AdSense went live that first day.
Our small team huddled together in a cramped conference room, and right away we saw that publishers were as excited about AdSense as we were.
Fast-forward 10 years, and AdSense has become a core part of Google’s advertising business. The AdSense community has grown to include more than 2 million publishers, and last year alone, publishers earned more than $7 billion from AdSense. AdSense is a community that thrives because of all the content creators we are so fortunate to partner with. Their stories inspire us to do our part to make AdSense great.
On this occasion, it’s especially inspiring to hear the stories of partners who have been with us since the very beginning—like a retiree in New Zealand who was able to pursue her dream of writing about her garden, a tech support expert in Colorado who can spend more time with his kids, and a theme park reviewer who now sends employees around the world to test and review rides—all thanks to money earned from AdSense.
As part of our 10th anniversary celebration, we hope you’ll tune into our live Hangout on Air today at 10 a.m. PDT (5 p.m. GMT) on the AdSense Google+ page. I look forward to joining several of our partners to share stories from the early days of AdSense, talk about how we’ve all grown since then, and discuss the future for publishers and online advertising. And if you want even more 10th anniversary celebration, just visit our AdSense 10th anniversary page at any time.

Blogs have become an integral part of
online culture.
Practically everyone reads blogs now,
whether they’re “official” news blogs associated with traditional news media,
topic-based blogs related to one’s work or hobbies, or blogs purely for
entertainment, just about anyone you ask has at least one favorite blog.
But it wasn’t always so. Blogs have a
relatively short history, even when compared with the history of the Internet
itself.
And it’s only in the past five to ten
years that they’ve really taken off and become an important part of the online
landscape.
The Early Years
It’s generally recognized that the
first blog was Links.net, created by Justin Hall, while he
was a Swarthmore College student in 1994. Of course, at that time they weren’t
called blogs, and he just referred to it as his personal homepage.
It wasn’t until 1997 that the term
“weblog” was coined. The word’s creation has been attributed to Jorn Barger, of the influential early blog Robot Wisdom. The
term was created to reflect the process of “logging the web” as he browsed.
1998 marks the first known instance
of a blog on a traditional news site, when Jonathan Dube blogged Hurricane
Bonnie for The Charlotte Observer.
“Weblog” was shortened to “blog” in
1999 by programmer Peter Merholz. It’s not until five years later that
Merriam-Webster declares the word their word of the year.
The original blogs were updated
manually, often linked from a central home page or archive. This wasn’t very
efficient, but unless you were a programmer who could create your own custom
blogging platform, there weren’t any other options to begin with.
During these early years, a few
different “blogging” platforms cropped up. LiveJournal is probably
the most recognizable of the early sites.
One important event in the rise of
blogging was when bloggers focused on the comments U.S. Senate Majority Leader
Trent Lott said regarding U.S. Senator Strom Thurmond in 2002. Lott, while praising
Thurmond, stated that the U.S. would have been better off if Thurmond had been
elected President in 1948. During that race, Thurmond was a strong supporter of
racial segregation (though his position changed later in his political career).
The mainstream media didn’t pick up on the comments and their potential
implications until after bloggers broke the story.

The mainstream media didn’t pick up on the comments and their potential
implications until after bloggers broke the story.
A couple of major blogging platforms
got their start in the early 2000s. Version 1.0 of Movable Type was released in
September of 2001.
WordPress was started in 2003, though
parts of its development date back to 2001. TypePad was also released in 2003,
based on Movable Type.
Some peripheral services to the blogosphere
also started in the early 2000s. Technorati, the first major blog search
engine, was launched in 2002. Audioblogger, the first major podcasting service,
was founded in 2003. The first video blogs started in 2004, more than a year
before YouTube was founded.
Also launched in 2003 was the AdSense
advertising platform, which was the first ad network to match ads to the
content on a blog. AdSense also made it possible for bloggers without huge
platforms to start making money from when they first started blogging (though
payments to low-traffic blogs weren’t very large).
Once bloggers started making money
from their blogs, the number of meta blogs skyrocketed. Bloggers like Darren
Rowse (of Problogger.net and Digital-Photography-School.net) and John Chow made sizable
amounts of money telling other bloggers how they could turn blogging into a
full-time career.
One early event that highlighted the
rising importance of blogs was the firing of Heather Armstrong, the blogger
behind Dooce, for comments posted on her blog
regarding her employer. This event happened in 2002, and sparked a debate over
privacy issues, that still hasn’t been sufficiently put to rest by 2011.
“Dooced” became a slang term to
describe being fired from one’s job for something you’ve written on your blog,
and has made appearances in Urban Dictionary, and even on Jeopardy!
Blogs Reach the Mainstream
By the mid-2000s, blogs were reaching
the mainstream. In January of 2005, a study was released saying that 32 million
Americans read blogs. At the time, it’s more than ten percent of the entire
population. The same year, Garrett M. Graff was granted White House press
credentials, the first blogger ever to do so.
A number of mainstream media sites
started their own blogs during the mid to late 2000s, or teamed up with
existing blogs to provide additional coverage and commentary. By 2004,
political consultants, candidates, and mainstream news organizations all began
using blogs more prominently. They provided the perfect vehicle for broadcasting
editorial opinion and reaching out to readers and viewers.
Mainstream media sources are also
teaming up with existing blogs and bloggers, rather than just setting out on
their own. Take, for example, the regular posts on CNN.com from Mashable
editors and writers. Another good example is the purchase of TechCrunch and
associated blogs by AOL, which, while not a traditional media source, is one of
the oldest internet companies still in existence.
During this time, the number of blogs
grew even more, with more than 152 million blogs active by the end of 2010.
Virtually every mainstream news source now has at least one blog, as do many
corporations and individuals.
The Rise of Microblogs and Tumblogs
The Rise of Microblogs and Tumblogs
A lot of people only think of Twitter
when they think of microblogging, but there are other microblog (also called
tumblog) platforms that allow for a more traditional type of blogging
experience, while also allowing for the social networking features of Twitter
(like following other bloggers).
Tumblr was the first
major site to offer this kind of service, starting in 2007. They allow for a
variety of different post types, unlike traditional blogging services, which
have a one-size-fits-all post format (that allows users to format their posts
however they want, including adding multimedia objects).
It also makes it easier for users to
reblog the content of others, or to like individual posts (sort of like
Facebook’s “like” feature).
Posterous is another,
similar service. Launched in 2008, Posterous allows bloggers to set up a simple
blog via email, and then submit content either via their online editor or by
email.
Posterous is sometimes considered
more of a lifestreaming app than a blogging platform, thought it’s technically
both.
The Future of Blogging
Eight to ten years ago, blogs were
becoming the primary point of communication for individuals online. But with
the advent of social media and social networking in the past five years, blogs
have become only one portion of an individual’s online persona.
Vlogs and podcasts have also taken on
a bigger role in the blogosphere, with a lot of bloggers opting to use
primarily multimedia content. Services that cater to these kinds of posts (like
Tumblr and Posterous) are likely to keep growing in popularity.
With new services like Quora coming
onto the market, there’s the possibility that the blogosphere will shrink, and
more people will turn to sites like these to get information. But services like
Quora also provide valuable tools for bloggers, as they give insight into what
people really want to know about a topic.
Blogs are unlikely to go anywhere in
the foreseeable future. But there’s a lot of room for growth and innovation in
method in which their content is found, delivered, and accessed.

Back in the upload image window, select the layout (if you want
the picture to be left, center, or right, or none). I like the option of having
the text wrap around the picture as it reduces scrolling -- but this is a
personal choice -- no "right" way!. Also select if you want the image
to be small, medium or large. My advice: go small or medium, but avoid large as
it makes the blog take too long to load.
5.
Click the "Upload Image" button. It will take a little
while for it to load, but that should do it! (you may need to refresh the page
for you to see that the image has been uploaded).
Signing in once you have your blog
