Google, as a part of its limited bets test, has now started inviting mobile website developers to display Google ads on their site! The Google Adsense program helps mobile website owners to earn money by displaying advertisements on their websites!

The going seems to be good for Google and considering the limitations of the screen size bandwidth on mobile phones, the click based models seem to be a hit! This is going to get bigger, thanks to the increase in Mobile advertising to get the company or their product right in front of their prospective customers!
