Is adding google adsense to my affiliate marketing website a good plan? I was thinking about how it could distract potential customers from actually buying the products im marketing due to the advertisements. But I may be thinking wayyy to far into it.

    If your website's focus is an affiliate product, don't distract from that with other ads.

    The only definitive way is to test it so then you will sure one way or another does not matter what others write here you have to test test and re test to find the right formula.

    Your goals are not mutually exclusive

    You see, different people go to your site for different reasons

    You use your content to FILTER these people from browsers to buyers

    As you already know, the vast majority won't convert

    For those people, you can have ADSENSE act as a fallback monetization option

      Actually you are right this is what I doing....

      Adsense is like my " back up " at least earn some pennies better than nothing ....

      whereas those interested buyers happen to see the stuffs I review ....will buy ( you are right as majority won't convert ) ONLY really buyers will buy once a while.

    AdSense can be picky about the content you have on your site. Maybe you can create a new blog or site for AdSense only revenue? Just a thought.

    Everyone can provide their opinions but why don't try it out?

    Run a week without adsense and monitor your conversion rate. Then add adsense and monitor your conversion rate and overall revenue?

    Each niche and audience responds differently to ads; it depends on where they come from too and how primed they are for the sale.

    Note: the Warrior Forum has ads on the top but people still sell products on the market place. Will this be the same for your niche? depends. Where is your traffic coming from? What is their intent? Next, Google Adsense ads open in a new window so traffic still remains on your page; what's their attention span to return to reading your content? How good is your content!?

    dont use both in parallel as in that way none of them will give you projected earnings.

    It really depends on the site. If the site focuses on high ticket items then probably not. But, if on the other hand, your focus is on low ticket items say $20.00 or less, then it might be a good compliment toy our earnings.

    Remember test first, ask questions later.
