Explore and Exploit Every Angle
When you’re trying to monetize your site, don’t always go for Adsense. It’s definitely still the best contextual method for getting online income but that doesn’t mean it’s the best all rounder. See what works for your site.
Adsense can present other problems, one of the main ones highlighted to me by Jeremy Shoemaker aka Shoemoney. That, with Adsense you get a one click and gone effect. Meaning, literally what it implies, your user will click, once and go! and not come back!
This is where affiliates and other alternatives can be advantageous. AuctionAds for example allows the option of having your ad open in a new window. Which is a brilliant option, it means if the user clicks the ad and is not interested, they close, but then are straight back on your site. I really can’t see why Google haven’t built this into Adsense yet.
