Google adsense and Google adwords — do you know the difference?

Do you understand the difference between the two different types Google advertising programs? I didn’t — not until recently, when a blog posting at the Associate Reference website spelled it out in very simple language: Google adsense is a program for those who publish websites, whereas the Google adwords program is for advertisers who are looking to place their advertisements. I admit I’ve never done much in the field of advertising — but I do have some websites that could be benefited by having some advertising placed on them — and I’m very grateful to this website for helping me to understand the difference.
