Better way to monetize a site or am I Whacked?

4 replies
I have a website that I have had adsense on for the last year and it gets an average of 5-6 clicks per day. The website averages about 75 unique visitors a day as well. Not horrible stats, but I am only getting about $.14 per click on Adsense.

I recently started a new product for this niche and just got it approved in Clickbank. While there I stumbled onto their Clickbank HopAd Builder, which makes adsense looking clickbank ads. I wouldn't get the per click price, however if a person buys the product I would get the whole commission percentage. So, basically for every one product that sells I would get around $14 or more/less depending on the product of course, which would be like getting 100 adsense clicks.

I have several of these websites made the same way using Adsense and am considering converting them all into clickbank ads instead since the revenue is a lot higher. I am looking for those of you with more experience than I have to let me know if I should stay with Adsense or convert to Clickbank ads? I know I can have both, but I don't want the site to look too spammy.

I kind of feel like I just grew up a little in internet marketing. Like I took the training wheels off (Adsense) and learned to ride a bike (Affiliate Marketing).

So, Am I whacked or right on target?

    Test it! See if it works. If it works, do it more, if it doesn't, see if you can figure out why or change it back.

      You just need to see if your sales page converts better than 1%. If it does then you should change over to affiliate marketing with your clickbank product. If you get a high converting page then you will make good profits with this plan

    advice from other people are nice but its better to test it yourself and see what works best with your niche.
