For those really consentrate only Adsense suddenly your got banned...what is your next money making program that you will choose?
I haven't been on the forums for very loong, but this issue seems to be beaten to death. You just move on to the next program. YPN, AdBrite, Affilliates, CPA, etc.
I think the first thing I will do is find out why you are banned because it is possible that your content or actions may get you banned elsewhere too. Once you figure that one out, fix it and look for somewhere else. Heard good things about YPN if you are in the US. The other thing you can do is banner or text link sales on your site.
For a regular afilliate program I really like art.com...If I had to choose between adsense or art.com I would choose art.com Part of that is because I love art. I think being excited about what you are promoting will give you the drive to promote it successfully. Think of something that you care about and type it in the google search engine. For example, type in affiliate,pets and you can find programs for pet supplies etc etc...Or think about what your site is all about and find a product that would be of value to your visitors.
About being banned from adsense? I finally started mass removing myself from all the mailing lists that had anything to do with adsense, buying adsense, selling adsense, etc. Now I no longer get emails from the likes of Brad Callen and all his adsense cohorts who only want to sell more adsense stuff.
The problem is adsense traffic does not convert really well for affiliate offers. Probably try similar program like chitika etc? in some niche its actually better
Oh well, life must go on. LOL Owning several blogs helps because you get to still attract advertisers. Something like that is a good thing to fall back on.
