Google Adsense Profits Mixed In With Affiliate Marketing


by Deborah Collins

Are you a webmaster who needs funds to keep your website running? Or is your website the only way for you to earn income? Whichever you are, for as long as you are a webmaster or a web publisher and you need cash, affiliate marketing may work well for you. With affiliate marketing, you may get a lot of cash pouring into your bank account easily. And if your website is rich in great contents and you want to earn more profit, why not get into the Google Adsense program as well?

Why Affiliate Marketing?

Well, simply because affiliate marketing is the easiest and probably the best way to earn profits online, unless otherwise you are a businessman and would rather sell your own products online than advertise other businessman’s products on your site. But even online retailers can benefit from affiliate marketing programs, because affiliate marketing actually works for merchants as well as it works for the affiliates.

Affiliate marketing, simply said, is a relationship or agreement made between two websites, with one site being the merchant’s website and the other being the affiliate’s site. In the relationship, the affiliate agrees to let the merchant advertise his products on the affiliate’s site. The merchant, on the other hand, would agree to pay the affiliate in whatever method they have agreed into. This would generally mean easy income for the affiliate, as he would do nothing but place the retailer’s ad on his site. This would also be very beneficial for the merchant, as getting affiliates to advertise their products would be a lot more affordable than hiring an advertising firm to promote their products.

There are a variety of methods on how the merchant would compensate the affiliate for his services, and for the webmaster, these methods simply translates to the method by which he would earn easy cash. Among the more common methods of compensation are the pay-per-click method, the pay-per-lead method, and the pay-per-sale method. The pay-per-click method is the method most preferred by affiliates, for their site’s visitor would only have to visit the advertiser’s site for them to gain money. The other two methods, on the other hand, are better preferred by merchants, as they would only have to compensate you if your visitor becomes one of their registrants or if the visitor would actually buy their products.

Getting much profit on affiliate marketing programs, however, does not depend so much on the compensation method is it does on the traffic generated by your site. A website that can attract more visitors would generally have the greater chance of profiting in affiliate marketing programs.

What about Google Adsense?

Google Adsense is actually some sort of an affiliate marketing program. In Google Adsense, Google act as the intermediary between the affiliates and the merchants. The merchant, or the advertiser, would simply sign up with Google and provide the latter with text ads pertaining to their products. These ads, which is actually a link to the advertiser’s website, would then appear on Google searches as well as on the websites owned by the affiliates, or by those webmasters who have signed up with the Google Adsense program.

While one can find a lot of similarities between Google Adsense and other affiliate marketing programs, you can also see a lot of differences. In Google Adsense, all the webmaster has to do is place a code on his website and Google takes care of the rest. The ads that Google would place on your site would generally be relevant to the content of your site. This would be advantageous both for you and for the advertiser, as the visitors of your site would more or less be actually interested with the products being advertised.

The Google Adsense program compensates the affiliate in a pay-per-click basis. The advertisers would pay Google a certain amount each time their ad on your site is clicked and Google would then forward this amount to you through checks, although only after Google have deducted their share of the amount. Google Adsense checks are usually delivered monthly. Also, the Google Adsense program provides webmasters with a tracking tool that allows you to monitor the earnings you actually get from a certain ad.

So, where do all of these lead us to?

Where else but to profits, profits and even more profits! Affiliate marketing programs and the Google Adsense program simply work, whether you are the merchant or the affiliate. For the merchant’s side, a lot of money can be saved if advertising effort is concentrated on affiliate marketing rather than on dealing with advertising firms. For the webmaster, you can easily gain a lot of profits just by doing what you do best, and that is by creating websites. And if you combine all your profits from both the Google Adsense program and other affiliate marketing programs, it would surely convert to a large amount of cash.

      I heard a lot of bad things about Adssense such as them deleting accounts with no evidence of click fraud. One woman said she worked really hard, only to find that they banned her account after earning $5000 and she never clicked on her own ads! I think if you want to earn a little cash, I would sell some ebooks or write on associatedcontent.com

      Great Post.

      I would like to point out that the only way to make money from AdSense is by visitors LEAVING your site. You must take it into consideration if you are an affiliate for a niche market. If you’re selling a product for $25 commission, why risk a person leaving for 5c?

      I am not saying don’t put AdSense on your blog, like any tool in your arsenal, use it wisely.

      Have an optimal day!

      I know many affiliate marketing “gurus” do no advocate using Adsense and advertising an affiliate program on the same site as the Adsense adverts can steal possible profits by drawing the potential customer to another site and essentially losing the higher commission. Any comments on that?

    14. Josh - February 19th, 2009 at 9:31 pm

      No question about it, both of these methods are great to get up and running making money online, which is what I’m doing. However, eventually my goal is to develop my own products, long term.

      Thanks for share. It’s useful for me.

    16. Tony Lee - March 11th, 2009 at 6:01 am

      Ah yes, Google adsense. A topic of many discussions and debates.

      There exists quite a sliding scale of income involving running adsense ads, from what I’ve read. I’ve made a bit of money, but nothing to jump up and down about.

      There a better chance using a narrow niche site, with content galore.

      Great information. thanks for share.

    18. blog review - March 24th, 2009 at 10:56 am

      Well done. That is a good informative article.
      I can’t judge that which one is better, and saying this is one good or that one is bad. I think it is according to the user.

      yes, i agree that google adsense is a great way of earing money online.

    24. caster board - June 9th, 2009 at 8:02 am

      I also heard that adding adsense to a purely affiliate sale website will effect your earnings negatively. The idea is that you will lose some of your affiliate sales to low paying outclicks to other advertisers.

      For me adsense is not a solution. I think you can earn something with adsense only if your website is in English. In Romania, maybe I will earn money in the next twenty years. Anyway, I liked your article, it contains good information.

    27. find articles - June 18th, 2009 at 8:40 am

      Well written about google adsense. I am sure Google adsense is the best paid given to bloggers. But we must careful on clicking them. Google may record as fraudulent clicks.

    28. Adwido - June 23rd, 2009 at 5:59 am

      Good ad sense makes me disappointed. They deleted my one accounts loosed some $$. i was trying to open another for my another website but this time the terms does not fit me :(

      although it is true, google adsense is best for money making than other’s

      I am very happy with the adsense intergration thing, I use adsense on xomba, my blogs and on hubpages and I think the more places you use it the better chance you will have of reaching your payout.
