Drop Adsense – Go Affiliate Marketing

This post reports result of my test to evaluate performance of affiliate products versus Adsense. I choose affiliate product in TV market and decided to publish Squidoo review-type lens for this product, since I don’t have my own blog related to TV.

Squidoo lens setup. Short, about 500 words, review of the affiliate product optimized for TV-related keywords.

My lens had one link to the product with call to action, and Squidoo served Adsense ads. I decided from the start NOT to promote or update the lens to keep test clean.

Lens traffic. It varied from few to 25 visitors a day, with a total of 2,000+ visitors over the test period (10 month).

Click-thru-rate (how many visitors actually clicked and followed affiliate link) was about 15%.

And here is revealing results.

Adsense earned me “staggering” 75 cents!

But, I made 5 affiliate sales at $45 each, making $225 (one Squidoo lens paid for my web hosting for a year!).

Affiliate product performed 2,000%+ better than Adsense.

Fellow bloggers and online business owners, here is a message for you - Drop Adsense and Get into affiliate marketing.
