Complement to Adsense?

by Spectresoft
4 replies
I use Adsense exclusively. This is of course just looking for trouble, and if anything happened I'd lose all income from my sites. I got accepted to peerFly and figure I should maybe diversify my income.
I have one pretty focused niche website getting about 300 UV a day. I currently monetize with Adsense and it generates 25-35 a day.
Should I put any CPA offers in? They are pretty much all email/zip submits, from epc .28 to .30 and some are contextual and some have banners etc.

I just want to know, should I NOT mess with a good adsense site? Or could I get more by adding CPA? I'm not being greedy, I'm content with each sites income. But if I get banned...well I want a fall-back plan.

    In all honesty if you are following the rules you should be fine. However if you feel like there are some sketchy (questionable) sites you own that have your adsense implemented into them than diversifying your income stream may not be a bad idea. It is always good to try new things and find out other means of income anyways. However I dont like to fix things if they aren't broken. Take a good look at the ToS for adsense and study your websites to make sure you aren't breaking any rules.... You should be fine.

    You could be making a LOT more money with CPA and affiliate products than you are with Adsense, and with way faster payouts.

    You dont have to get rid of adsense altogether, but DEFINITELY dedicate some of those ad spots to CPA and/or affiliate products.

    Trust me. I was an adsense publisher for about 3 years. Never had any problems, any warnings, any holds.. nothing. I made payout every time.

    Then one day I went to check my earnings and I was banned for no reason at all, out of nowhere.

      Exactly why i'm asking! I am following the rules 100% but I always read about people like you who get banned for no reason that you can see.

      So I want to try CPA etc so I can rest easy! On the other hand, Sickoes has a great point... why fix something that isn't broken?

      Thanks for your input guys.

        Don't want to start a new thread, but have a question. Hopefully someone reads it

        I have two CPA offers for my niche. Both are email/zip but one is contextual (no banner etc) and converts on first page (email) second is banner and converts on second page (so a bit harder to get)

        Question: Can I put a little text add in a widget on my sidebar with the contextual link in it?

        BTW: Within an hour of having the banner up I got a conversion First CPA money!
