I dont know to much because i dont work with adsense but i hear 1 or 2 bucks per 1000 views .But if you can find a niche where you can promote affiliate offers i dont see the point why you promote adsense .With 1000 views you can make easy 2 sales in aff marketing
Spartan14 Exactly my point also. This was the reason I started this thread, to figure out if its worth allowing ads on my videos and irritating viewers, or can earn better with direct sales or affiliate offers. So far adsense earnings are not looking any worth at all.
MayurKawale I agree with your point that affiliate marketing is better than adsense, but affiliate marketing is not that easy either. You will have to compete with thousands other affiliates who are doing the same thing as you are doing, making videos and what not, plus there is always that sword of refunds hanging over the head. If one can do it however, then its much better than adsense pennies which google is throwing at publishers.
