Make Money Clicks - Adsense or Affiliate Programs?

But since I have added more affiliate programs to pages that are getting traffic I am noticing a very nice increase in my monthly income, i am currently using mainly Google Adsense ads. I am faced with trying to figure out how to best monetize my traffic, as my sites get more and more search engine traffic.

However lately I have been studying my traffic logs closely and looking at the search phrases people have been using to find my pages. My affiliate income is almost non-existent, i must agree that on sites where my affiliate programs are simply generally related to my site as a whole. I have read in many places that affiliate ads that are prominently displayed will take away from your adsense income.

I add it prominently to the page, once this golden affiliate program has been found. Once this is established I search high and low for an affiliate product that matches "that page" and "that key phrase". I then narrow it down to the page they found when they typed in that phrase, once I have determined the key phrase.

Not only have my adsense income remained almost unchanged but last month but my affiliate income doubled as well, on the two sites I have used this method.

But you may want to give this combination a try it has really worked wonders for me, all sites are unique and react differently, do what works for "your site", my advice is.
