    Hey, I've been considering different ways of earning other then Adsense. I've got a question.. how does affiliate differentiate from Adsense? I'm really new to this type of stuff, though, any help would be appreciated.

    Affiliate programs are largely pay for action instead of pay per click like ad sense. For affiliate programs, users have to click the ad you put on your website and perform an action; like ordering/buying something or entering their email address before you get paid. With adsense you get paid for every click.

    Earning with PPC programs like AdSense can be easy but earning with Affiliates can be tough. One good thing about affiliate programs is that once you get going then sky is the limit. The money earned is fat.

    Okay thanks for the replys.. so pretty much.. Adsense = money per click.. whilst, Affiliate = per referral, though larger revenue if you do refer.

    most merchant programs have an EPC listing (earnings per click but in CJ's case its per 100 clicks). you can use this data to gain an estimate to whether programs could perform better than adsense.

    affiliate is pay per aquisition, it doesnt necessarily mean larger revenue

    the best option is to try a few programs and check the resulting EPC and do a direct comparison with your adsense earnings.

    good luck.
