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"!
