>...of how Google managed to crack the biggest jackpot in business history with AdSense? To clarify, it was AdWords, not AdSense. AdWords (2000) was the original monetization strategy and is still the #1 contributor to revenue and profits today. AdSense (2003) came later. It's easy to get AdWords and AdSense mixed up because both brandnames are nondescriptive. Both AdWords & AdSense are based on "keywords" and both "senses" or "tries to make sense of" page content to generate relevant ad links.
