    I was checking the section for the first time today ..
    And I got a lot interested in the topics ..
    I have a website that is getting ~10-30K Page views and only making ~10-15 $ daily ..
    The visitors rarely click ..
    The traffic is both teen and adult ..
    Any idea what affliate program can help me the most ?
    And should I continue with PPC programs or try affliates ?

    I feel affiliate programs are a better option if you have converting traffic. For PPC , it depends a lot on the Ad provider. I was checking my website today and found that no ads were being displayed . If I am selling a product, at least I will get paid for a sale.

    In most cases, PPC ads are gonna be better for website banners and text links...but sometimes, affiliate offers perform better. Like dnk said, it just depends on what kind of traffic you have, where you place your ads, and what affiliate offers you select.

    The only way for you to know for sure is to try it out yourself...Rotate them 50/50 and see which one brings you in the most dough ;)

    What is your website about? Find some affiliate products that reflect the theme of your site and mingle them in along with your PPC. Always target your audience and maximize your profit opportunities.

    i would suggest to use both for websites revenue.
    but it depends on what kind of your niche.
