What is the BEST supplemental affiliate program to Adsense?

Discussion in 'AdSense' started by oncameratalent, Feb 9, 2008.

    First I would like to thank DP and all who have helped me become a successful web publisher, it has changed my life drastically and now I can work from home on my own terms and hours!!

    I am trying hard to diversify. I started Adsense on my websites in August 2007, and it quickly became my full time income. But I have seen how unstable Adsense income can be, and have tried Kontera. I am considering Adbrite inline contextual ads. I am also attempting to sell ad space directly to a few companies related to my site content (but don't know how exactly to price those ads).

    Does anyone have any good suggestions on your favorite method to supplement my Adsense income with ads that do not violate the Adsense terms of service??

    Try Commission Junction, Clickbank (among MANY others) and find products related to your niche. If you have decent traffic, you should be able to get some conversions out of it.

    I am using VibrantMedia IntelliTXT and WidgetBucks to enhance my Adsense revenue.

    On some pages, I am also using CJ, PhoneDog, and other affiliate programs.

    I think you'll need to test a out a lot of them to see what works well with your site and traffic type.

    Hay, one of you should start a "Voting Poll" on what pay per click program is the best.

    Do it under the Pay Per Click Advertising section of the forum of course.

    The reason I'm not starting the thread is because I don't know of all the different popular PPC programs.

    But then again, I guess that's what the option "Other" is for. =]

    Go start that thread someone!

    I use Commission Junction, Linkshare, Amazon, eBay (through CJ), and Clickbank. They are all good.

    A few answers:

    Via PayPal.

    About 50% better than Kontera right now.

    About $.31 a click.

    VibrantMedia adds a 10-15% bump to my AdSense revenue numbers. It's not a fortune, but it's effectively almost free money. :)

    My account manager is really top notch. PM me if you want his contact info.

    CJ has been good for me. Some days, it even beats AdSense.

    Pay per play (See my signature) may be an option. It does not violate AdSense TOS to use them together. Obviously, these are not appropriate for all sites, though.

    Does anyone else have any feedback about Chitika inline ads that are just like Kontera's?

    I received a pm from someone who said that their Kontera earnings have been steadily going down the last several months and they tried Chitika inline ads, which have performed much better.....

    I tested that and the presence or absence of Kontera ads did not appear to have a noticeable effect on my AdSense CTR.

    "To qualify for Vibrant In-Text Advertising campaigns your website must receive 500,000 page views per month."

    :( guess I can't join in the program

    I have done well with Kontera in addition to Adsense on the same site.
