    Yahoo's search marketing IMO is better...

    Imo Adwords is still very profitable. I have been doing affiliate advertising for on adwords for two years and make quite a bit more off search marketing than my "real job", teaching. The key is don't bid blindly and if you bid on the content network block myspace right away. It is a major source of wasted clicks Good luck.

    It all depends on what you're trying to sell and what you have that separates you from the competition. Adwords is the best way to find quality visitors, but be ready to offer them something or you'll be wasting your money.

    Ok, because you had started the program very recently and may not know much about the Adwords Profits.

    Adwords gives you many benefits in terms of Reach, Cost , Time , Flexibility and Control where you don't get from any other sites in PPC. Just be original to them(Adwords Policies) and you will see the maximum ROI. :)

    Exactly.

    Nowadays there is a lot of competition at Adwords.

    A newbie will have to experiment for some time before he starts seeing results.

    If you are new to Adwords, you should start on a small scale.

    Adwords is profitable but you need to know what you are doing.

    Potentially very profitable but getting harder for affiliates to compete.

    I know some may be appauld. But I have seen some say do other affiliate marketing as well besides Google Adwords. Not everyone is amused with Google adwords when approaching a site with ads.

    The beautiful think about PPC is you can craft every part of the ad. Title, copy, keywords, etc. You have many free tools to track conversions and ROI.

    So just test and don’t take anyone else’s opinions. Every niche is different. You need to have products with good margins and not such much competition.

    Adwords is profitable and always has been. You just have to know what you're doing or else you'll get chewed up and spit out.

    Yahoo's traffic is awful and mostly comes from parked domains.
