The Difference Between Google AdSense and Google AdMob: Don’t Get Them Mixed Up!

 


 Many people (especially those just starting to earn money online) often ask:

“Are Google AdSense and AdMob the same? They're both from Google, right?”
The answer: Nope! They're both ways to make money, but they’re designed for different platforms. Let’s break it down clearly—with a chill tone!

 

What Is Google AdSense?

Google AdSense is a service by Google that allows you to display ads on your website or blog and earn money from it.

So if you have:

  • A personal blog
  • A news site
  • A tutorial website, etc.
    …then you can apply for AdSense and start earning from the ads shown on your pages.

Example:
You run a food recipe blog, and an ad appears like “Cooking oil on sale!”.
If someone clicks on it → you earn money.

 

What Is Google AdMob?

Google AdMob (short for "Advertising on Mobile") is Google’s platform specifically for displaying ads inside mobile apps (Android/iOS).

So if you:

  • Create Android apps
  • Build games for the Play Store
    …you can add ads inside your app using AdMob.
Example:
You develop a game called "Run from the Ex", and between levels an ad video plays.
Every time someone views or clicks the ad → you earn too!

Even though AdSense and AdMob are both from Google, they serve different purposes and platforms:

  • Use AdSense for websites/blogs
  • Use AdMob for mobile apps

Pick the one that fits your platform, and focus on building traffic or active users. The more people interact with the ads, the more revenue you’ll earn.
