Whats best for making money Adsense or selling text links?

Discussion in 'General Marketing' started by regencytimberbuildings, Feb 17, 2007.

    Would it be more profitable to create sites to sell text links on rather than sites to proffit from AdSense?
    If so why isn't everyone doing it and not bothering with AdSense?
    what kind of income could a site expect from selling links through someone like textlinkbrokers.com with the following page ranks.
    pr3
    pr4
    pr5

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    The trick is to put up Adsense and put up text links and see how much you make with each, then you'll know.

    There's no "either or" answer here.

    Popups are the best ( woot ?? are they ? asking .. )

    adsense .. --> only good for BIG sites : ) .. with a LOT of traffic .. not just a good PR ..

    I disagree, that's the best method to loose your visitors and don't come back.

    I agree. With low traffic, try getting higher PR to sell expensive links. With high traffic, try increasing CTR with adsense.

    Go with Adsense if your site has high traffic, else stick to selling links if the site has a PR higher than 4.

    By the way, I see no harm doing both together :)
