An alternative to AdSense?

Published March 30th, 2006 in Monetize. Tags: AdSense, Affiliate.

In my own, still limited, experience, Affiliate marketing is a lot harder than AdSense. With affiliate marketing, not only do people have to click on the ad, which they do about as much as with AdSense, but then they have to either buy something, or at least sign up for a trial. And you get only of your clicks converting to an actual sale.

In Weaning Myself from Adsense, Andy Hagans explores the pluses and minuses of Affiliate Marketing.
The flip side of this, the payoff can be a lot higher, which depending on your situation, can make up for the more limited number of actual sales.

So, until you can build up your traffic significantly (and you can follow my SEO experiment to get some insight on the subject), this may only be an alternative to AdSense (or other PPC programs) when they can find relevant ads.

Affiliate marketing is a much better payoff than Adsense. But getting visitors to click your ads is one thing, getting them to pull out their wallet is another.

Very true. What’s your recipe to achieve this, Rugjeff?
