    I'm mulling over the issue of affiliation with popular programs like amazon or just using ad-sense >> maybe sometimes thinking that a mixture may be the best. I have not used either, and my sites are still not stable enough to depend on.

    As I grow my content, I would like to hear from persons with experience on these issues. Pros, cons, opinion, advice...

    The site is found here: http://a-zkenya.info and is about Kenya News and still has little traffic and the content is not specific on a product on amazon etc

    ^What chunnumunnu said. It all depends on the amount of traffic that your websites are getting. If you are getting a lot of traffic, than Google adsense is your guy. If not, the Amazon would work too and in the mean time, further refine your websites

    Why don't you use them both to see which one works better?

    affiliation will always work if you wil have targetted traffic.
    and adsense will work as long as you have tons for traffic. but definitely both will work on same site.

    It's completely belong to your target visitors...AN example:
    if you are offering webhosting news then affiliate hosting works better than adsense...

    For me, I prefer adsense compared to amazon, as they offer higher payment rates. :)

    I have product sites for perfume, jewelry, even chandeliers and I have both amazon and adsense on them. Adsense is more consistent, but if you have high ticket items for sale, over $100, then it only takes 1 sale to make a good commission from amazon. Use both.

    Yeah it depends on your site content and site traffic.However I like both of them and currently using clickbank and adsense to make my sites more profitable for me.

    Well, dont depend only on one. Spread your income. Adsense is good. But they may band your account on a slilly mistake too. So, betta focus on both adsense and affilate. CPA is great.
