What is the best method to convert affiliate sales: Adwords Ad ----> My Landing Page-----> Affiliate Link Adwords Ad -----> Affiliate Link Can you really convert andmake money going directly from Adwords Ad to Affiliate Link.
It depends on the advertiser. The situation is pretty clear for the most part - some advertisers allow direct linking, some don't. Just look in the terms for each advertiser - if they do not prohibit direct linking in PPC campaigns, you are fine. Though you will find there is a lot of competition, and Google will only allow one bid, i.e. one bidder to link to a particular landing page for any one keyword combination. So you could just get pushed out, or onto page 2 that way.
