Just Wondering...

    This is for anyone who wants to answer, I'd really appreciate to understand why this is......

    I've been coming in here a while now and noticed everyone loves running Google adds on their website..

    What I'm wondering is why would you list advertising on your website that gets you a few cents a click, when you join a Cpa Network and list adds that will get you on average 40 cents a click and higher?

    I'm really curious because I've heard many people in here talk about getting excited about making a few hundred dollars a month, when they get site traffic of over 10 000 visitors a month

    Running any cpa networks adds will make you 50 times the monthly dollar that Google can placing their adds, and all at ease...

    So why is that, please please explain......

    is it that most people don't understand the CPA Networks?

    or is it something else?

    Some sites are just not meant for cpa to be honest, like proxies for example...Also, if you monetize your site, 40 cents per click can be the bare minimum with AdSense and you could easily see $3+ a click if you do it right, and that's just even for a proxy. Google is Google, they rule the internet so a lot of people will continue to use them, and they are the better between other places, except YPN I suppose.

    Thanks for you input however if it's so easy to get $3+ a click, why isn't everyone on here making money?

    It just seems to me everyone is hoping to monetize their site for AdSense, the same as everyone is hoping to climb the google ladder for their key words

    but I appreciate you thoughts on the matter :)

    Not everyone knows how to optimize it perfectly. That's the simple answer at least.

    Put it this way: I know NOTHING about SEO and even making a site for that matter. I got a domain, hosted it, threw a premade proxy on it with no monetization and advertised. I got $.01 to $.20 per click MAX...then I paid a guy to make one and the minimum was $.40 and a few dollars a click wasn't rare...

    Actually you have made a good point. Real internetmarketers just cant be bothered with a few cents per click
    when they make good money with their lists cpa etc.,
    But cpa is not easily implemented. There is a learning curve unlike adsense where you can bung in a few
    articles in a MFA site and voila your site is ready to be an adsense whore.

    Thanks for your comments, being someone that really works to learn things particularly how to make money on the internet, I just find it strange that everyone aims for certain things but don't seem to realize everyone else is aiming at the same outcomes which actually makes it near impossible to succeed when up against the majority eg. keywords etc......

    When I first started learning about CPA cost per lead etc, I found it really fun. that you could put adds and be sure you'll get a reward for doing so

    swapping and playing, i really enjoyed it and still do

    no bigger rush than when you try a particular add placement on your site one night and wake up the next morning to find it's made you thousands while you sleep

    Sadly I just can't see adsense doing that

    but I guess thats just me :p

    theirs no right way or wrong way, I was just curious why I never hear any talk on here except about google etc....

    Ahh I don't even know what he did really, he just guaranteed I'd make $xxx in however long it was. He pretty much set the right keywords and such, but I don't know anything about that stuff :(
