I’ve been having a little…”fun” recently. I enjoy making money, heck I bet you do too! That’s why I have been slowly eliminating AdSense from my blog. SO many people DO NOT realize that affiliate marketing can get you so much more than AdSense. 
I know I’ve really been driving that into the ground but I want you to be successful!
Here is the perfect example, it took me from last October to the end of January to get payment in Adsense. I am around $70 again in AdSense, not doing bad by anyones means. However, in the past MONTH I’ve made $531.34! That I made through affiliate marketing. Now, consider this. I have had a 4 AdSense banners placed in premium positions on my blog. I have also had several affiliate banners placed on my blog the entire month.
Well, through a matter of coincidence my affiliate manager at Hydra, the wonderful and beautiful(I’m just guessing that..haha) Victoria wanted me to start using them. I agreed and we found a campaign for ADT security, which is GREAT if you do not have it. However,we decided to run a little test and I put up a couple banners on my site this evening around 7:30 PM EDT.

Well, I am now blogging at 2:58 AM and I have made…$27! That’s right, within 8 hours I made more with affiliates than I have the entire month with AdSense. It’s not limited to just Hydra either! Market Leverage got a $26 sale from someone through Blogging4Everyone and then their is their PurePlay offer.

Affiliate marketing is NOT going away, if anything, it is only getting bigger. I’d encourage you to get rid of AdSense and get into something that actually pays you for your work!

I get into arguments about this all the time. You can make a lot more from affiliate programs than from Adsense. I have used the two side by side before though. Any little extra helps.

I also notice that I make money from other sources than Adsense and the payout is way better. In 1 month of textlinkads or linkworth I make more than in half a year of Adsense. I am touching affiliate marketing too now, but I am sure it’s gonna be more lucrative too.

well that is more easy to say than get it done. i have considered drop adsense from my blog nand replace it by affiliate, but the ones that i have running now don’t make me any money and adsense does…:\
