you should mix both, affliate and adsense. however adsense been very good to me and im doin lots of cash with it
OK, AdSense is a bit tricky, so you will have to be very careful for Google not to cancel your account. They will analyse the content of your page/site and the traffic sources. If they consider that the content you have may lead a visitor (directly or indirectly) towards clicking on an add, they will cancel your account. If most of your traffic comes from traffic exchange sites, PTC and so on, they will cancel your account. On the other hand, if you follow their rules, AdSense can be a great source of income. Affiliate programs can make you good money, as well. I would recommend them, if you are new to internet marketing, or you do not have enough time and finances to set-up several sites for AdSense. You may consider using them together. Google loves blogs and review sites - so, you can promote your affiliate programs and earn from AdSense as well.
Adsense is not profitable nether for me, because my visitors are not clicking the ads; so instead of Adsense I am showing banners from CPM networks, these are paying for banner views, so I am getting my money even my visitors are clicking the ads or not!
Adsense is still king, if you have good traffic and keep within the TOS. GAN is something you have to work at to get a good return, but the best about GAN is that you get to pick who you work with, and what banners you show. The first site in my sig below, is showing both Adsense and GAN,, I have only added the GAN in the last few days or so, I will give it a month and see how it goes..
Well, you can try both of them. If you don't know how to marketing with your products, i think google adsense is a good choice.
Actually the answer is neither but instead Traffic. If you know how to drive traffic you can sell anything, including ice to an Eskimo, period.
It's easier for people to click on an ad (pay per performance) than it is to get them to buy something (pay per sale). The easier conversion, and more precise way to measure those conversions (clickthroughs of contextual ads) is why Adsense is popular. But you can get more money through affiliate pay per sale programs with the right product, and a well constructed marketing funnel, so it's your choice.
Affiliate program indeed is best... I have been using Affiliate Program and have got high conversions..Especially promoting Max Registry Cleaner and Spyware Detector. So PM me in case you want to know more.
I have always had better success with google adsense. I do supplement some earnings with affiliate programs.
I also tried affiliate program before but have no luck on it. I tried adsense and until now I always got monthly payment.
Sure, I agree with you. Also I believe google AdSense is the best earning program. Also we can make money with affiliate programs. But I will prefer AdSense.
