Should I use Adsense or should I avoid it? A lot of people are not sure whether or not they are better off using affiliate links or using Adsense when it comes to monetizing. A lot of affiliate marketers will tell you you are better off using affiliate links. While affiliate links may pay better, in certain situations, you might be better off using Adsense. So what is the correct answer?
The truth is, you never know until you try both out. Even the online certification course would recommend you do tests to see which one works best. I have tried both and have made some money on both Adsense and affiliate links. If anything, one thing to keep in mind is the type of niche your in as well.
One thing to note about Adsense is that you don’t even need to have you ads clicked in order to make money. Adsense pays you for both clicks and the amount of views an ad gets. Affiliate links on the other hand only pays you once someone has clicked your link and taken an action.
However, affiliate links will pay you better in the long run especially if you are generating a decent amount of traffic every month.
So don’t be afraid to try it out and see if one works better than the other.
