have another go

 2. One way to make money from a web site is to place advertisements on it. One web search engine company allows the web site owner to add some HTML code to the web site, which searches the site for content and delivers advertisements relevant to that site.

The more visitors there are to the site the more chance the owner will make money from the advertisements displayed on the site. (Image is not included)
