with adsense really low performing lately, i was thinking of getting into affiliate marketing, occasionally i write reviews of shareware on my blog, with networks like shareit and regnow, with enough reviews and traffic do you think i could exploit that niche of affiliate marketing, specially with cracked versions of software available freely on p2p networks? is 20k pageviews a month with mainly search engine traffic enough to get me started? i picked this niche as its the most suitable for my blog, any feedback would be appreciated.
Its always gud to start in a new niche. Affiliate Marketing is the biggest and fastest money maker online. You can promote RegScanners but it won't work great (u got ur own answer in ur post). I would recommend you to sign up for CPA Offers where they pay you for each lead related to Scan Network.
for now, the only way i could promote affiliate marketing is via blog and this is the best niche, how about the other categories of software, media players, editors, antivirus/spyware, privacy software, etc.?
Hi, Yeah to make money with adsense could be difficult sometimes. But why you not sell your backlinks ???? I see you have PR 3 , so you could make say minimum 20 to 30 dollars extra a month only with this website. Depent how many backlinks you wanna sell. If you have more websites with PR well , I just wanna say it is easy cash. See my first Signature.
thanks for the info, first of all selling links is considered 'semi black hat' and i don't want to be penalized by google as the majority of my traffic is from google, with the risk involved and a quality backlink from a well established site, 2$ for a PR 3 is VERY low, using networks to sell links is not worth IMO, getting custom advertisers is a lot more worth as they pay a more reasonable amount.
Most marketers doesn't require selling or buying traffics because it looks like a fake traffic.It is a good feeling to have organic traffic on your site as they are real visitors.
