Mainstream Affiliate or ads from gugol?
 

I used to make a few bucks here and there from gugol ads on my mainstream sites.

Is this still viable or do you recommend mainstream affiliate?

I use both as there are a lot of variables...

Can you find a good matching affiliate?
Does the affiliate landing page convert?
Can you make your own landing page if their default page doesn't convert?
Is the payout good?
etc...

Gotta A/B test as sometimes taking pay per click is better and other times if you can find a solid converting affiliate offer it will smoke pay per click ads. :2 cents:

Agreed. I make much more in a day from affiliate programs than from ppc ads.

If you take the time to monetize the traffic yourself you will make more money by placing ads yourself.
