Is Adsense better than CJ?

I think be can be used together to get decent returns.

 

i really don't know how to mix up both as I wish to show ads as per indian demographic where as the affiliate partners are mostly target western countries..

 

It's best to implement both, affiliate products and adsense in strategic places, then test which one makes better money and if adding or removing certain ads or affiliates would produce a bigger total revenue. In the end, ROI is everything, doesn't matter where it comes from.

 

that doesn't answer my question

 

I had used Adsense, CJ both....
But I got more revenue from Adsense ...
This is because, CJ will pay u for sales (if done).
But in adsense you are paid for every click.

 

You should learn about placement on the way... it's not important to you now. What you need is traffic first, then money will follow. Search this forum for some "adsense optimization" tips. Implement all those that apply to your website theme and your CTR will rise.

Without traffic you'll be making pocket change and that really is not worth your time.

This forum is full of great tips, but you have to find them between all the junk posts that are being repeated every day. It's all right here, you just have to spend a few minutes to dig those posts out.

 

thanks for the gr8 advice. i would search and compile the adsense optimizations in one post if i happen to figure out them!!

 

try adwords to get quality traffic

 

CJ will be better if your visitors purchase products..he..he.

 

CJ= 1X with the same traffic while google payout is 2X.

I alaways stuck to Google as it is far far better than any other site.

 

please add in links/articles on adsense optimizations..

 

They are very different sources of income.

Adsense can be used on most sites and generate at least something.

For CJ you will have to have traffic coming through google with keywords relating to products you are selling otherwise you will get very few sales.

hope that helps.

 

Hey, I'm in the same boat. It's interesting to see how important ad placement is on your blogs and websites. Another suggestion, READ READ READ. I don't think it's possible to learn enough in this wild field.

 

do we have resource to find the articles on adsense optimization?

 

i have included adsense by reading some optimizations in my travel site, but my page ctr is just 1.42% for this week. i have also added 2-3 ads from cj but none seems to work, any guidelines?

 

Your ctr rate is good/average. As far as CJ, sales are rare if you don't got a lot of traffic. You need a lot of traffic to get consistent occasional sales, like a few thousand a month at least. The payoff for each sale is usually 5-10 dollars, unlike adsense only 10-50 cents a click.

 

my opinion - adsense is easier to earn money than cj.

 

I believe the best option it's to target both of them.

 

can u please throw some light on how to mix them up?

 

I gotta disagree with this...

If you get targeted traffic that matches up well with your CJ advertiser and can write decent pre-sale copy, go with CJ. If you add adsense to this, you'll just be losing potential customers to your competition.

If, on the other hand, you can't write good copy, your niche doesn't have a good affiliate product that matches it, or you just prefer to build sites that aren't terribly specific, adsense is the way to go.

Don't get me wrong, I love adsense because once you have your 'adsense machine' operating, you can just go out and build another site, then another, and so on. It's more auto pilot.
