I have been using Adsense on websites for last 7 months. It took me while to understand Adsense after reading useful tips on DP forum. But after reading success stories of people who are making more than $5k/month, I figured out there is more potential to earn money using Adword for affiliate marketing. If one can spend time and efforts in finding affiliate businesses, it might be better ROI provided Adword campaign done prudently. Bottomline: Do Adsense and Adword(more efforts on this) together. Any opinion!!
Yes, affiliate marketing can be very profitable with adwords, or it can be a money pit fall. It isn't as simple as those $9.95 ebooks like to make it seem. I wouldn't suggest getting into affiliate marketing unless you completely understand PPC management.
AdSense and AdWords are flipsides of the same coin. AdWords is what advertisers use to place ads on Google and the content network; AdSense displays those ads on third-party sites. AdWords costs real money, don't let anyone tell you otherwise, so be very careful when starting out. Also, don't try to do arbitrage -- send AdWords traffic to an AdSense page. That's a good way to get your AdSense account disabled because Google doesn't approve of that business model.
Adsense is all abouts clicks 1 Click = minimum 2$ Adwords is all about helping us to sell a product 1 sale = minimum 20$ adwords+ affiliate marketing is better way It's very difficult to earn $5000 from AdSense.
adowrds can be very profitable. you just need to find a niche that is profitable. successful adwords advertisers study the market for months before they spend serious cash in advertising. most of the affiliate marketing terms cost a lot, so if you don;t know the game inside out, you will be loosing money
