Confused about Affiliate marketing

    Hello,
    I am trying to start working on Affiliate marketing. Its been a month since i joined CJ and placed the respective affiliate partner links on prime positions of my niche site.
    I am running adsense parallel to affiliates and there is vast difference in the result so far.
    My adsense CTR is about 5-6% however the cj stats shows ctr of hardly 0.5-1%.
    If i check the links of adsense ads and affiliates , both have same looks and same category ads.
    Should i trust CJ stats? Am i wasting my web space and time in affiliates where i can get much better adsense revenue by placing adsense ads at the same place where i have kept the affiliate ads.
    I am confused about this.
    I am earning decent revenue through adsense and was looking for extra through affiliates.
    Also the affiliate partners i have chosen are of the same niche my site is and all my visitors are completly through organic traffic. In my last 30 days experiment i have not even got a single sale through CJ.
    Should I try more or shall i leave affiliate and place my adsense ads at that place.as my adsnese revenue has reduced to some amount after i changed the position of those ads.

    Can you help me too please?? :D

    I've got a website but I'm struggling with getting traffic to it. Waiting for an article to be written by need-an-article.net to get me into article marketing.

    I've just been blown out by Adwords as they're no longer allowing Date Entry Affiliate marketing!!:mad:

    Any help appreciated.

    So Adwords isn't accepting data entry affiliates any more? That could open up a big flood gate of banned topics on adwords.

    How is need-an-article.net? Are they any good? I've got all the article writers I need for now but I expect to expand in the future (that is if I ever stop being lazy). Are they pumping out good articles?
