In the world of online advertising it is rare to see Google Adsense pay per click ad units along site affiliate banner or text ads. Do you have to pick one? Is it not possible to do both and make money? If it is then how and who is?
When I surf the internet I really do not see many sites which mix both apart from big websites such as You Tube but they have millions of hits daily and Google own You Tube so maybe any revenue from the Google Adsense units are extra for them and is small compared to the media sales deals they have in place.
Adsense Vs Affiliate brings in another question to the table - pay per click or lifetime revenue share because I prefer long term revenue and for traffic which converts into a customer I’d like to see long term revenue off that conversion. There again I find it is easier to generate revenue from Google Adsense because Google does all of the work I would have to do for any affiliate deals.
Then you need to consider that I may have a fixed fee media deals, does seeing adsense units deter potential advertisers who will may large sums of money for site presence on the Gideanet network.
The saga continues!
