Hey guys, general questions. Why should I do adsense instead of participating in an affiliate scheme.... I dominate niches at the moment and my sites are set up as follows:- * I have great content and towards the top of the page and bottom of the page I have a link which is stated 'For the guaranteed cheapest offers click here' in bold, a different colour and is cloaked so you cant see the link source...... Then I link to the cheapest merchant I can offer of the cheapest shopping network, e.g. Amazon.... People then click through and often buy cos they have the cheapest offers. Now if I change to adsense on some of my sites, what is the customers motivation? Can I state on the page something like 'I have hand picked these Adverts from Google as they are the most relevant and offer you the best deals' and plaster Adsense over my site? Does someone have experience of adsense and affiliate marketing..... Another important question, how much of the click value do we get? If I look in Google and see a click costs say $2.00 at the top, how much will I roughly get for a click on that term? $1.00/$0.50?
If you are doing affilates then why go to adsense and probaly make little to comare what affilates make.
If you're making good with affiliates already, I don't think switching to AdSense would be a good idea. AdSense can be disastrous sometimes... read this: http://www.roadtomarketing.com/either-use-your-sixth-sense-or-the-adsense.html This may change your mind . Good luck!
The amount per click depends on the keyword bidding. If the bidding is low, you will get low amount or if the bidding is high, you will get high amount. Generally the amount per click is from 0.01$ to 1 $ or more. Adsense is a good and trusted one. Good luck.
