The process is very simple:

1) Create a tour inside Google Earth. This will give you a .kmz file. Tutorial

2) Go here and use the Tour Gadget. This will give you code to copy and paste into your webpage, blog or wiki.

3) Paste the code and visit your page. The first time you visit you'll be prompted to download a plugin.

Here's an example I created.

 

When you are comfortable with Google Tours, try using the Google Spreadsheet Mapper!
