Thank you Paul for the advice. I’ll put more time into finding the proper affiliate offers for my site. Though I will not remove Adsense from that particular blog at this time – I know. I know. But I can’t because it’s the summer and that’s when I earn the most money from that site with Adsense. – But I have already removed Adsense from my other sites which receive about 100 page views per day combined. I will see how much I can ear from affiliate offers with them. Adsense wasn’t working for them anyway.

Well it made me want to reply!

Just for the record though, I did take some considerable action after one of your posts….cancelled my use of TLA

Feel free to moderate that bit out if it gets you into hot water…but thanks for the tip off on that nonetheless!

I been doing this, I made some sales. Hopefully I will make more. I recently put a few links in one of my serious posts that bring in very targeted traffic to that post. I will see how that goes over the next week or 2. Deneil Merritt’s last blog post..Twittley Review

Hopefully a LOT of affiliates and bloggers take your advice on this. There is a huge amount of potential in online marketing- you’re a real example with 1 offer. That’s great!

Marguerite in that case you are probably promoting the wrong offer(s). Have a look at your Adsense ads and see what they are promoting, check out the domains (don’t click your own ads) and see if there is an affiliate program for what they are advertising on your website. Any Adwords advertiser worth his salt will not be running ads long term on your site unless they were overall profitable.

I ran an experiment earlier this year, for a month and a half. I removed Adsense from one of my blogs. The blog received about 100 visitors each day for about 200 page views. It made a little more than $200 each month on Adsense alone on an average month.

When I removed Adsense I put more effort into promoting my affiliate offers. Yet, I didn’t make more money from affiliates. I make more money overall with Adsense on because my affiliate revenue is about the same whether I have Adsense or not.

I did however receive more traffic from Google when I did not have Adsense and yet that traffic did not convert well in terms of sales.
