    Sorry, I can't do any more reviews. Over 100 people asked me and I just don't have the time.

    If you want to ask a general question I will post it along with an answer on the blog.

    it's easier to make $10k a month using affiliate programs than adsense... adsense is too overrated

    Nice post and blog. It is always better to have your income stream from multiple sources than one like Adsense. I have seen so many posts that they drop users accounts for no reason. That would make me nervous to have them as the only income source.

    Well, everyones taking the trust approach, but I always love spicing it up with some debate...

    Don't you think many people would rather click to find out information from ads, or just going to other sites without hesitation, rather than hesitating when buying stuff from affiliate programs?

    My arguments:
    1) A lot of people are actually afraid of buying online, let alone from untrusted or unknown sites. Some are afraid of Ebay even. They are less afraid of text ads and link ads. So I expect perhaps about 200% decrease in clicks. And they dont even give you money for clicks, they give it if you sell something, which who knows, might even be like 2% money, which is probably not a lot.
    2) Example, lets say a site makes around 50$ a day with google adsense, what would YOU expect affiliate links would make... either per day, or per month on a same traffic site.
    3) Clicking is easy, buying is hard, things can be expensive, and not everyone who visits sites for content and information are willing to spend money every time. However, with click-ads, people are willing to click, multiple times even, if they are truly interested. Sure, we get 10 cents or 50 cents per click, sometimes 1$, but how does CJ or affiliate ads differ in that sense?

    My arguments are not meant to harm or criticize anyone, just getting more detailed facts on the issue, and while 10,000$ might sound enticing, It doesn't guarantee I'll be making 10,000$ a month from affiliates, it just means one guy found the perfect combination and perfect site to put correct ads on it. Either that or his blogs/sites are so popular, maybe gets 100,000 users a day, does that really mean Adsense sucks or does that mean that his site is just better suited for Affiliates?

    No offense might by any of that, i do trust your word on it, but I hope that my rare questions will at least let you explain better and perhaps inform us that it is indeed truly a better system than text ads. Or is it just a "depends on the site" sorta issue.

    Well it really depends. Some items give $100 commission and are quite easy to buy. For example if I sell an insurance policy for a really well known insurer and the clients gets a cheap deal then they won't think twice about buying.

    Well with auction ads you can only have one keyword though, unless you put "insurance" as the keyword for a site about computers, i dunno...

    For insurance I would just find a program on Commission Junction and link directly to them. Auction ads is only for stuff you can buy on ebay.

    As long as the link is relevant you can add it. For example if you see a question you can write an answer in a blog post on your site and link to it.
