    I have been using Adsense for last 4 years. The revenues currently are around $200.

    I am now think of using clickbank also.
    Is clickbank the best affliate website?

    What has been the experience for adsense vis a vis clickbank? If I completely move from adsense to clickbank, do you think my revenues are going to increase.

    What is the most important deciding factor if you have to choose between Adsense and clickbank.

    It depends on the traffic. Just because you are earning with adsense doesn't mean you will earn with clickbank. I'm not saying don't test it out, but it's much easier to get visitors clicking on ads then it is to get them to buy a product.

    If you know how to market properly, chances are you will earn more than in adsense. I suggest you do both. Try searching for the journal of Petehol or other equally success adsense affiliates here. You will learn a lot from them.

    I would try split testing at first.

    If you can find a clickbank product that is good, and appeals to your sites target visitors, then you can probably do better with clickbank than with just adsense ads. But there are too many variables for anyone to blindly just tell you which one will work best for you.

    it only depend on niche and a quality product availability in clickbank marketplace. The traffic you are getting belong to clickbank or not. Clickbank deals only with digital products and if you think that you have any good product concerning to your traffic then yes it can bring a lot more than adsense but slightly non-targeted product or traffic can bring your revenue to $0 because here you don't get paid for clicks ,you need a sale and with non targeted product or traffic ,it is extremely hard to get any sale.

    and yes, clickbank is the best place for affiliate ,those are interested to sell digital products .there are other networks too like paydot com etc I dunn know about other networks because CB worked fine for me so far

    Yeah as a lot of people have stated in this thread,

    If you have the targeted traffic you'll make the sales, but if it's not then you won't.

    Easiest way to find out? Try.

    Try both. The fact that many bloggers manage to earn from both shows that it is possible to have Adsense income on top of Clickbank commission.

    I would definitely give clickbank a shot... but be sure to splittest it. I think it will depend on the kind of traffic you have, if clickbank or adsense will work better.

    For me personally I find it easier to earn with Clickbank. The money is begger per sale, and easier to accumilate. This is obviously different for each person, but in my experience Clickback is the way to go.

    Does it mean that with clickbank, the amount of effort we have to spend on the internet would be more?

    Yes, inducing someone to buy and spend $$ is much more difficult but what about returns, are the returns comparable?

    Which means you have been pretty happy with clickbank. I would like to know more about your experience 1st hand. Sticking to a single item, is a risk, but I am sure you have been rewarded well to have stuck with clickbank. What do you think was the success for you to not try adsense?

    I have been using this weekend to study clickbank.

    As of now it seems like setting up clickbank is more time consuming than Adsense? Anyone with me?

    if your site is about saling thing than you can make a lot of money woth click bank. but if it`s just content that doesnt sourrands any product like "save the polar bears" than you better use adsense.
