Tech throwback of the day: March 4, 2003

The birth of AdSense

On March 4 2003, Google made a big announcement. They created a new way for websites to show relevant ads to visitors. Imagine you're reading a sports news website, and with this new system, you might see ads for sports equipment or jerseys.

To make these ads super relevant, Google also bought a company called Applied Semantics in April of that same year. This helped Google understand websites better and match them with the perfect ads.

They named this new system "AdSense" - a catchy way to say "advertisements that make sense"!

Hope you liked today’s snacks. We will be back with a full-course meal tomorrow.
