|  Moving from Adsense to Affiliates
Hey all, I have a site getting 5,000+ uniques a day with an excellent CTR of close to 8%. I have been very content with my Adsense earnings up to this point, but I realized that I must be wasting a hell of alot of commercial intent by just shipping it all out to Adwords buyers. If they're willing to pay me thousands for the traffic, they must be making much more then that! Currently, my income is almost exclusively Adsense and I have not done any serious affiliate or direct sales on any of my sites. While I think marketing on this site has incredible potential, I have a few questions. 1) How can I discover exactly what my visitors want? There are several classes of people who visit my site who would have several different needs. Knowing what ads people are clicking would help, but unfortunately Google keeps that information from us publishers. 2) What's the best way to test a new product? Should I build a dedicated page, or just replace one of my Adsense blocks with affiliate ads? Anyone who has experience in introducing affiliate products to a site that wasn't specifically built for them, I'd love your input! |

See, In my opinion, Its quite difficult to target all type of the visitors visiting your site everyday. Every type of visitors would have their their own separate demands. What I would like to suggest, First of all target your those type of visitors for which your site basically belongs to, that will be the relevant traffic for your site. Second thing, Target those visitors that were the very most traffic source in recent days. Google analytic will help you a lot in this regard. |

Take it from there, test, and optimize. Other options? Sell physical products, CPA offer, leads, e-books. You could even look at the ads that are showing on your website and contact the advertisers directly, Google's cut is about 40%, that 40% could be yours if you go direct. | |

I have affiliate ads on my content pages that relate to the content of that page. For example, the cooking tips page has an affiliate ad for a recipe book. The adsense ads are determined by Google and different pages seem to have have different ads. On another site, I have afiliate ads on the top and bottom of each page, adsense ads in the right sidebar |
