What's best, Amazon or Adsense?

cherylmusicfreak · 10-29-2009, 03:37 AM

I'm going to be building some micro niche sites similar to what Xfactor is doing. He makes $300-600 daily with Adsense. He uses keywords related to products that people want to buy as there is less selling. By the time they enter the keyword they are ready to buy or want info. and click on his Adsense. Lately he has taken any Amazon links off his pages and his Adsense increased. He is primarily focused on using Adsense to make him money. I've read if you want to make money with Adsense don't use any other affiliates on your site which is what he did. Obviously the Adsense was making more money for him than Amazon. I think (don't quote me, but he may have up to 70 sites now).

Are there people doing well with just Amazon on their sites? Do some of you use both?

I'm particularly interested in those marketing physical products.

Maybe also health niches but I suspect you are using Clickbank for that.

Thanks,

Cheryl

If you have a lot of content, then go with Adsense because you get paid for every (valid) click.With Amazon, you need to make a sale to get paid.

When it comes to blogs, a general rule is to keep everything as simple and easy for the visitor as possible.Avoid any "multiple-choices" so the visitor will automatically do what you want them to do.

My answer would be eBay I know it was not an option but it has worked great for me!

Amazon is good if you can get them to make the sale however adsense all they have to do is click.

The best answer would be to test

Just would vote for adsense. Use this to backup my monthly income.

Cheers,

I'm really close to completely deleting all my amazon stuff and that would include one whole site. It's not making any money and both my sites are ranked on the first page.

I am just interested on your findings.

adsense pays a few cents a click yet with one click you COULD make $500.....

In business I like that feeling of the unknown

Dont get me wrong I make a pretty good income from adsense however I still like amazon ebay and other CPA methods

Not taking a dig just my opinion

I hear this alot. If someone wants something you'd make more money from a sale than from a click. But it may take some time before you get that sale and with adsense whether they are looking to buy or more info. they will click. I'm still torn. Being a newbie I'm wondering if Adsense is better for me as I don't have to convince someone to buy. Right now I just have 5 articles on my blog that talk about product, what I think are positive and negative things about it.

Would appreciate more feedback from others. What has been easiest for you?

Thanks,

Cheryl

I got turned down for Ebay. I swear I got approved a few years ago but can't find my log in details. So I tried again and they said no but wouldn't say why. Annoying. So I will have to set up a blog with nothing but content on it and try again. I guess with Ebay everyone is eager to go there as there are millions of things for sale there and at good prices.

Amazon or Adsense? Test and see. Depending on site you could use both. Then if Google pull your account for any reason...at least you've got the Amazon sales to pay your bills!!
