    Hi,

    I just wanted to know your opinion.

    Do you think Adsense is the only best thing to earn online? Which seems to be better than CPAs like CJ and compny or Click bank.

    When I build niche sites, Adsense is the last monetization method I use. I only use Adsense when other monetization methods aren't converting into any cash. That's when I throw the Adsense ads up, let the site sit and age, then make my few dollars per day from the site (if I'm lucky).

    The first thing I always do when building a niche site is to build a list in that niche. I may create a short report or buy a PLR report, offer it in exchange for their email address, and send them an auto responder series. In this auto responder series, I try to limit my "promotions" to about 25% of the content. For example, if I had a series that is 20 emails long, I will promote an affiliate product or CPA offer once every 5 mailings.

    During this process, I'm also providing good content with a mix of promotions in my blog posts.

    If after a few months, people aren't subscribing to your list, or the promotions aren't bringing in any cash, that's when I put up Adsense ads.

    Yoo, that's a great idea, have to try. However, I have seen better results with both CJ and CB, sometimess even click2sell has also worked. Maybe it it all depends on how good we present the product to the visitors. Adsense hasn't really worked out for me, when compared to CPA.

    Anyways, thanks for sharing valuable information.

    Of course not :)
    The best way to earn online is by owning or promoting CPA offers (even though there's a HUGE difference between owning and promoting).

    Oh man, this is kind of different. Can you please let me know or suggest something on this. However, I forgot to specify, if this is the only thing that works out in tech niche. Others like forex and marketing have good CPA offers, but I'm not able to find a good CPA in tech niche, so I wanted to know about that.

    Thanks.

    Adsense is one of the best earning source but not the only one. Some people are earning much better money on affiliate program and product/service selling. However, if you say Adsense is the best PPC, then I agree

    Very few people will ever make more than $50 a day with Adsense. Adsense isn't designed to be a single revenue stream online, but rather supplement others. The only time when when Adsense would be a sensible option would be a high traffic website. But working on a site to build up it's Adsense revenue is dumb, and most people fail.

    Wow, it seems many prefer CPA over Adsense. Hope, my new entry to CPA will get success like I had in Adsense. Maybe even more success, I guess, after seeing the responses.

    CPA offers are better than Adsense, it's much easier to earn from CPA.

    I try to use Adsense + Afiliates that's the best method .... in my book
    There are plenty of good afiliates
    Clickbank is my fav
    But also yiou can find search for a afiliate only for your niche

    Now when you guys say CPA, what exactly do you mean? What kinds of actions are you leading your visitors to?

    I guess you're not talking only about surveys like the ones from CPAlead.

    I used to only use adsense when I first started building websites, but now I try to use CPA advertising wherever possible. I make most of my income with Commission Junction, but I hear Clickbank also works well. It really depends on what niche your site is in. Do some experimenting with both adsense and CPA ads and see which one works best for you. I also have had some success with using a mix of both on several of my sites.

    Of course not talking about CPALead. I'm speaking about the CJ, ClickBank and likes. I'm especially asking about the programs that work will with tech niche.

    Thanks.

    No, I think scamming and stealing is brings in the most profit. I've never tried it but I've helped others makes thousands and even millions by them stealing from me.

    I'm rwally sorry to hear that, but this thread is related only to the comparison between adsense and CPA/affiliate programs. I expect to see valuable feedbacks.

    Thanks.

    I havent effectively learned how to market my CPA offers yet so Adsense has been working just fine for me. I would love to increase my CPA earnings though. I'm barely making the payouut each month with CPA.

    There's more advertising campaigners but Adsense is the best paying and certainly most reliable out there.
