What do you guys thinks about revenue sharing sites like Hubpages and Blogger? In your experience, are you better off having ads or affiliate links on your own websites or on the revenue sharing websites?
having your own site/blog is a must, but then you can use those sites to make links to your articles/pages while earning additional adsense money.
You'll start getting traffic faster and start making money sooner with sites like Hubpages so they are good for when you are starting out.
revenue sharing sites with high authority look to be profitable.. If that site gets index so fast and rank high on serps, then such revenue sharing scheme is a good deal..
To be honest, the better thing to do is to create your own adsense revenue sharing site like I did, because the real winner is the webmaster. Once you have created your revenue sharing site, all you have to do is to recruit members and manage users. If you also implement a referral program, then you won't even have to worry about recruiting new members and you'll get many articles and links saying good things about your site!
different people have different point of views and different things work for them. there are people who are making a full time leaving with revenue sharing sites. some giant squids and hubbers having hundred plus squidoo lenses or hubs make thousand+ a month. then again, they put their full time efforts into it. others find it easier to just work on their own site and make more money with affiliate links and/or adsense.
