Adsense or Affiliate?

[Goldfish]

Guys,

I have a couple of adsense websites that run for over 6 months now, and making me stable 220 euro monthly. The problem is I cannot get this number up with, I am stuck for the last 4 months. Maybe because I have all the top rankings and need to create new ones?

But creating new & more sites will take a lot of time and patience. I never tried affiliate products.. Can anyone give me advice?

The sites I have are all informational, and combined it gets around 9000 uniques monthly. The niche is not too bad, just like 0.30 cent clicks.. The majority is coming from the USA , Canada & UK

Hope you can give me some solid advice

If the sites that you have are informational about a sort of product, you need to try affiliates for sure. There are a lot of companies that do this , just search your product name + affiliate in google and I bet you will find companies that offer some kind of affiliate deal!

Adsense on the other hand is very nice to have though, its mostly autopilot once you have the rankings!

Affiliate sales are not that stable, Adsense is pretty stable

Private advertisers are nice to work with. You know what you end up with, but affiliate might earn you more! Or even a own product

So for improving income from adsense I think ads in your sites need more optimization as I think you should earn more with that amount of traffic.

Affiliate marketing can be a good option but If you really want to make money here you need a strong focus.

I better think CPA can be a far better option for your sites to make money as its an informational site and receive a good amount of traffic from USA,UK etc.You should get more people to complete a simple offer to make money 4 u.CPAlead is one of the best network you can try out.

Adsense has my blessings. It feels so good to lay in bed on Sundays and still know that your stable adsense account is bringing in 20 euro daily

True that is why we love the online marketer lifestyle right
I think you should not choose one or the other for the following reasons.

1) Adsense in particular but also ads sold directly are great and stable (if the traffic is stable) and an easy way to start getting some income. However ads does not scale and require a lot of traffic... as there is a limitation of how much ad space you can (and more important - should sell...)
2) Affiliate offers does not conflict (my experience) with ads and should also be places in the content (I prefer below the fold to keep pages from being flagged as spam). A good affiliate product can outperform most ads in revenue (at least my experience).
I would recommend however not to have affiliate offers on all pages/posts - maybe every 5-7 posts being published as a maximum.

...CPA... well I have to try this... I have too little experience in it but I know the commissions for a signup can be quite high...

I have been building AdSense sites and I was working, and trying to see, there is hope for each master the awesome wealth. Not only income I have seen such a list. I lose all these precious years trying to make it happen with AdSense. And only one person becomes wealthy guy who run these ads. You still can keep those pennies per click, you will receive satisfaction. So its better to use the affiliate than adsense.
