Hi Mooble,

The answer to your question is split testing. You mentioned that you had 41 clicks on your website which means that your visitors are indeed engaging your website but are leaving through adsense rather than Amazon.

The thing that you need to do is take 2 days and have the site only using amazon affiliate links. Make sure to record your results.

Then take another two days and only use adsense and then record the results.

Now you have three data points:

a) Amazon affiliate links only
b) Adsense revenue
c) Adsense + Amazon Revenue (your current data)

Then you compare the data and see which one is profitable.

You never know, your Adsense revenue could be compromising your Amazon revenue and visa-versa.

I hope this answers your question.

Hi Mooble, the technique described by Ibtillmanyoung is the best way, but generally is better to let your visitor leave after clicking on Adsense.
My technique is placing Adsens ein first half of screenmazon on other page, not home page.

Anyway, Adsense converts always better in number of people.+

See you,

I like to separate them where possible, but still use both on the same site.

If you are building a site with Adsense in mind but come across a page that isn't getting a decent CTR or the CPC for the ads is pretty low compared to the rest, remove the adsense and have a look and see if you can promote an Amazon product on that page instead.

If Amazon doesn't convert, try turning the page into a squeeze page and capture the user to promote the rest of your site to - overtime.
