Should i do a publisher service like yahoo or adwords etc... or should i do an affiliate like amazon,CJ,clickbank,azoogle etc Which is best publisher or affiliate? or both? And based on your experience who is the best for each? Lets talk about this and help each other out!
it depends on the niche. if things are well targetted, your users are ready to buy, etc, affiliate sales can make much, much more than adsense / etc ever will. on some sites people just aren't in a ready-to-buy state, they may be young, and so on. if that's the case you'll need to look at other methods of monetization. contextual / cpa advertising are likely. the only way to know for sure is to test, test, and test some more. but spying on a few of your competitors won't hurt either.
