Why NOT to use adSense to monetize your site

Adsense is a program used by millions of people to make a little extra money from their blogs. However, adSense is one of the worst programs to monitize your blog with. It pays horribly, and does not afford you the same earnings potential as some other programs. In my experience, adSense would pay around $0.50 per click. That is great and everything but I could earn more with the same amount of clicks. Let’s say I was getting 100 clicks a month, very feasible. That would be $50 if I used adSense to monetize my site. If I got the same amount of clicks and used an affiliate program for that site that was related to the site, figuring on an average conversion rate of 10% at $10 per lead. That would be $100. That is just one instance of how not having CPC ads really helps your bottom line. In fact, you could have even more clicks with affiliate links/banners because more people are likely to be interested in them. I have had sites that have had 500 clicks a month and with that conversion rate are real money makers. So do yourself a favor and dump adSense before they ban you. Plus it is apparent that you can make way more money with affiliate marketing! Enjoy your increased earnings and a better looking website!
