The term contextual advertising means the advertisements that you see on websites or in other Medias like in the displays of a mobile phone, is where the advertisements are chosen and served by an automated system that is based on the content displayed by the user. For example, if you wanted to place a contextual ad on your website and your website is about books, then the advertiser will display ads about bookstore and books and anything book or magazine related. The ads will reflect the content of the site.
Google Adsense was the first major contextual advertising program to become available for web users. These ads are work by giving webmasters a JavaScript Code that when insert the code into the web page you want to advertise on it will pull up similar advertisements from the Google inventory of advertisers. The way the importance of the ad in relation to the content is calculated by what the Google Bot has indexed.

The concept of contextual advertising has made a huge difference in the way webmasters make money on the Internet. The more closely the ads are related to the content the more likely it is that visitors to the site will most likely click on these ads which in turn makes money for the webmaster and for the server of the advertiser.
A big part of Google's revenue is from their potion of the contextual ads that are being used right now on millions and millions of WebPages in the Adsense program. Some of the other contextual advertisers are AdBrite, BidClix, Q-Ads, Kanoodle Bright Ads, Targetpoint, Searchfeed.com and more.
