It’s really dependent on several factors that I have no idea about. Sometimes I get paid huge for adsense clicks, sometimes no…it’s really weird.

This is a fab post as it is honest. I like your honesty about blog posting and that collecting emails is a good way to sell affiliate products.

In my opinion it is the only way to sell affiliate products effectively. Not many people understand this concept.

People are unlikely to buy from a stranger. Not to say that there is no one who will. – But once people get to know you they will buy.

The position about adsense versus affiliate commissions is right. For far we can make more money with some affiliate programs. The problem with blogs is that you must have some expertise to keep them updated and ranking in search engines

Amen Ian. Having your own blog and writing about topics you know about is a great way to not only help people, but make some extra money along with it.

Hi Heather. Glad to hear you are using Aweber again. An autoresponder is very important in business.

One thing that I have to do is get that opt in form on my website – I was using aweber for a couple months but lost track of making emails so I discontinued service, I will be getting it back up though here in the near future

Adsense or affiliate offers? This is a tricky one. Depends on so many factors…In some areas, you get 5$ per click while an affiliate sale is under 5$, with a 1% conversion rate. See my point?

I wonder if it’s possible to do affiliate marketing on a blog that has nothing to do with selling anything. It’s a general-purpose blog, so how would I be able to monetize it, if ever?

Are you sure it’s just blogs? I noticed a pretty drastic decrease in my adsense earnings this month for my forum. Even though I have dramatically increased the number of visitors and page views over the last few months. My forum does include affiliate links. Of course so do my blogs and websites but the forum is where i have seen the decrease in earnings.

Well the good news here is that the FTC in America is cracking down on this big time so from now on we should only get honest or very clearly marked affiliate reviews of products.

Thanks John.

THis castle of mine (EzyAs123) has been an on going process and still isn’t exactly what I want, but it’s a work in progress all the way.

Don’t get too bogged down thinking and not do any moving, start somewhere and keep the ball rolling.

I completely agree and have said things along a similar line in this post.

Many blogers does this too, they do have many tricks to fool Adsense and make more money with some short cut ways, but again the monster wins, Google won’t allow such things to prevail in blogers world which can drive itself to loss.

Yeah, is good way to make money since it can give more money per sale. but be careful I read in some blogs, google can slap back affiliate marketer.

My opinion for review site, I don’t really trust that people doing good review at affiliate program, sometimes I notice that people only copy the salesletter.

Good info Ian,
I haven’t yet created a blog that’s ‘my castle’ yet, not sure what I want my castle to be. I have keyword targeted blogs using blogger being a google product, they get far better page rank, even starting from scratch. Adsense might be making a come back, especially if you can rank well in markets with high CPC.

“Content is the king!” It’s a famous line across the web, but seldom followed by webmasters. Maybe because it’s a time consuming job (if you can write your own content) or a money eater job (if you can’t write your own content). Either way, you need to invest to have a great content. Once you build up a positive impression with your visitors out of your content, everything will follow.
