I dont know about adsense, but affiliates surely are good enough. I try chitika and widgetbucks and both works better for me

  You can get rid of the blog link at the end of every comment you make. We don't do signature link drops into every comment thing here. We only posts links in comments that are relevant to the topic in the threads.

If you are a beginner, you should use Adsense to make some income in early stages. Also it depedns in which niche you are. There are niches that make very little Adsens income, so it is not worth to add Adsense there.

I agree with Orxan. Niche and content matter. With each blog or Web site I've built, I've tried PPCs like AdSense, affiliates like Amazon or CJ Partners, and in some cases, direct advertising (hard to get , but nice when you get it). I monitor the income stream, then tweak as appropriate.

As crazy as Adsense can be...it seems to be doing the best on my recipe blog. Chitika is a distant second. I'm just now trying out text links to Amazon.

Adsense won't earn you bucks unless you have a decent amount of visitors to your site everyday. So the main thing is to get traffic to your site and everything else will fall into place.

Adsense does not make as much money as affiliate programs with electronic equipment, computers, cameras, and other expensive items.

Question: Which program will fetch more income? adsense? affiliate?

Answer: Content is king. In any niche the quality of blog contents varies from blog to blog. I don't believe there is a one size fits all program that will accurately answer this question.

I stopped in and checked out your blog. It has varied content,I would start with adsense and see how that does. It may take you a little while to find reputable affiliates that turn a good profit in your niche.

Adsense will be better if you get lot of traffic. Otherwise affiliate products are better to convert well on target audience. I use both. But my adsense earnings are just enough to cover my hosting charges. Only affiliate commissions earns me good money. It is my own experience only. May differ from others experience.

You need to build trust and interest by having good content in your blog and put in a bit of extra effort to actually make money as an affiliate. You do notice quite a few blogs that are nothing, but affiliate links.

Affiliate program marketing makes more money by far, for ppc advertising however i would go with in content types such as InfoLinks which pays more than AdSense or Kontera.. However it can be used at the same time as these as well.. For more info on my comparisons go to -

Other than that timethief has it summed up above, content for any tpe of marketing is king..

You'll generate more income if you have better traffic no matter if its adsense nor affiliate
