This is a question for everyone, but i wouldn't mind hearing from some high adsense earners as well.. If you are making a a lotta $$$ with adsense (maybe even making a living off of it e.g. main source of income) and suddenly you found you were banned or for some inexplicable reason cannot continue with it. What would you then use/do for your main source of income??. And lets say you live outside the US and cannot use Yahoo.. I'm not suggesting i'm banned by any means, but with all the talk about it, it seems it might not be as reliable as one might hope.
Suicide seems a likely option. But seriously, if you're making enough cash from AdSense to live on you've probably got a good site, plenty of traffic and decent content - you could try direct link selling or Kontera or similar. You'd probably have to accept you wouldn't make as much as you would with AdSense.
For me the only things that are working: -affiliate sales ( i generate much more from that than adsense ) -text link ads -direct link sales. pat.
Sell directly the advertising Sell links Afilliate programs Things like this but from the begining you don't must relay only on adsense
