Life After Adsense

So, you're fed up with the measly few cents a click Adsense are paying you for your hard earned traffic and want a more profitable alternative.

Or maybe you're one of the unfortunate many to have your Adsense account closed for not meeting their quality guidelines and you need a replacement revenue source.

Well the good news is there are many different options available.

The bad news is there are too many different options available (and most of them aren't worth your time)!

What can Replace Adsense?

What is an alternative to Adsense?

The first thing you may need to realize is that Adsense is pretty much unique, you probably won't find a direct replacement with the same ease of use and total niche coverage.

The only other candidate is YPN which works in much the same, has a comprehensive niche coverage but generally pays less and it is difficult to get an account.

There are other contextual advertising networks but the payouts are low and the niches covered are limited.

So when looking for an adsense alternative or replacement for adsense you need to think beyond the way adsense works and remember that it's the revenue you're replacing, not adsense - the alternative may be very different.

Adsense : The Opiate of the Webmasters

Has Adsense lulled you into earning far less than your website traffic is really worth?

Adsense gives webmasters a comfort zone. It's so easy, a few lines of code will produce relevant ads and a trickle of income from almost any site. No need to worry about finding advertisers, selecting affiliate products, gathering mailing lists or all that other boring stuff. It's just too easy, why would anyone do anything else?

Well that's easy. With Adsense you are only earning a tiny fraction of the true value of your visitors clicking a link. That click you got paid $0.10 for may have resulted in your visitor spending $100 on the advertisers site. If instead of an Adsense ad your visitor had clicked on an affiliate ad you could have made anything from 10% to 75% commission on that $100 sale!

Still happy with your $0.10 Adsense click?

Earn 1000 times more than Adsense with Affiliate Sales

The ultimate way of generating income from your website visitors is from affiliate sales where the right product can earn significant commissions.

The biggest drawback with affiliate marketing, and the reason many are reluctant to get involved, is that you have to find relevant products to promote and select the ones most likely to produce sales. You will usually have to write the ad for the product yourself (or a review depending on your site format).

There are many affiliate networks, such as ClickBank which gather together products and make it easier for you to find relevant products and analyze their sales performance.

But because there are many affiliate networks, and even more individual sellers operating their own affiliate systems, finding the best products to promote can be laborious, especialy if you have sites in many niches.

ClickBank

If you've heard of any affiliate network you've probably heard of ClickBank. They're not the biggest affiliate network, they may not have the broadest range of products but ClickBank makes it very easy for sellers to sell their digital products and just as easy for anyone to become an affiliate and start to promote any of the products in the ClickBank marketplace.

You may have noticed I mentioned digital products. That's all that's available at ClickBank - eBooks, audiobooks, software, membership sites (with recurring commission!) etc. . There's still a broad range of niches covered though...if you can find a good niche that hasn't had an ebook written on it you should think of writing it yourself!

Commissions are often very high, 50% is common - some products even offer 100% commission! There are many products in many niches which pay $50 or more per sale and plenty of products paying over $100 if you find the right niche!

You don't need to be a mathematician to figure out that with the right products and a well written ad or review your website traffic could become very profitable.

CB Ads Pimped* - Automated ClickBank Affiliate Ads

The Ease of Adsense (almost) + The ClickBank Profits (absolutely)

CB Ads Pimped* makes displaying affiliate ads for ClickBank products almost as easy as using Adsense. The only extra work is installing a simple script (once to display ads on any number of sites) and selecting a few keywords to search for products.

CB Ads Pimped* is a complete, automated system for generating and displaying ads for relevant ClickBank products on YACG sites. ClickBank products are selected by keyword and ordered by popularity so you get relevant products which are proven sellers! Other ClickBank ad tools rely on the product text in the ClickBank Marketplace (which is aimed at attracting affiliates not buyers) for the ad text. With CB Ads Pimped* the ad titles and descriptions are created from the text on the products sales page creating far more targetted and enticing ad copy and a considerably higher click through rate and sales rate.

CB Ads Pimped* uses various techniques to mask your ads and your affiliate links from the search engines and protect your affiliate links from being changed. To all intents and purposes the search engines just see a content site with no Adsense or affiliate links so these sites have the potential to rank higher and remain indexed longer in the search engines than the same site would with Adsense ads.

CB Ads Pimped* is exclusive to members of YACG Pimped*.
