What Is Better? - Clickbank or Google Adsense

    I currently have Clickbank ads on my site, but I'm think about switching over to Google Adsense for a little bit to see if I get better or worse results. Well, I first have to be approved by Google, but I don't see why I wouldn't.

    I do fairly well right now with the Clickbank ads on my site, but most of the money I make comes from the article marketing that I sell.

    Which one of the 2, if you have used both programs, have you had better results with?

    I used Clickbank ads on my site. I almost immediately switched back to Adsense when I was earning extremely low for my ads.

    If you've got targeted traffic then use Clickbank.

    Use both of clickbank and adsense is a better choice.However, clickbank products must be relevant to your website.

    since you posted this in the affiliate section, and google adsense isn't an affiliate product, I would have to go with clickbank

    comparing Clickbank to Adsense is like comparing apples to bananas.

    Clickbank is a direct sales affiliate program where you get paid in $ per sale. Adsense is a passive income program where you get paid for clicks - not sales - but you generally get paid in pennies.

    I use both on blogs and information sites. Clickbank income typically exceeds Adsense many times over on any given site - but I would not delete either one.

    Wishing all the best

    Define what is better. I mean the easiest way to earn is through Adsense, although, i can't imagine that someone would really click on those ads ( i know, i won't)

    They have different way of earning but they are both useful. Having both of them is the best way of earning.

    Depends on your traffic. If you are getting targetted traffic then your best bet is with clickbank since they are paying higher.

    I agree. Clickbank will make you more money if you have targeted traffic. With Adsense you are basically acting as the middleman.

    They are very different forms of making money. AdSense is CPC while ClickBank is affiliate marketing. It really depends on what you want to do, what market you're in, and the types of products offered in the market.

    Well, I guess I can't switch to Google Adsense... My application was not approved, which I received an answer within 2 days. And for some reason, when I try to apply for a YPN account, the next page just sits there with this:
    Loading,
    one moment please...

    I even let the page try and load overnight and still nothing....

    I don't think there is any other PPC network out there that compares to those 2, right?
