Affiliate Marketing: Profit from one-time, upsell, two-tier, recurring, high-ticket, lifetime, backend, and passive income commissions.
1. Why Start Your Own Affiliate Program?
Multiple web sites and distributors selling your product can result in increased sales and profits. Unlike conventional advertising, affiliate programs pay only for performance. Commissions are not paid out unless sales are made.
Also, with many more web sites linking to yours, your link popularity is sure to increase in search engines, resulting in additional traffic and income.
When it comes to building great revenues on AdSense, nothing is more important than following your stats. The effect of any change you make to your site, to the positioning of your ads or to their layout or color is going to have a direct impact on the behavior of your users. That’s going to be clear in your stats. You’ll see it in your click-through rate and you’ll see it most importantly in your revenues.

I like Google Adsense. It contributes a nice little chunk of change to my income each and every month.
That said, I don’t and won’t follow the lead of those whose sites earn only through Google Adsense.
AdSense delivers great click-throughs and high revenues for one reason: the ads are targeted to what the user wants. Google’s robot picks out keywords on your page, gets a grip on what your website is about and delivers links that take users to sites that interest them.
That’s great news… up to a point. As much as you want your users to click on ads that look interesting, you might not want to trust to a robot to pick those ads – and you might prefer to have ads on your page that pay the highest amount possible for each click.
When you install a piece of software, you usually get an End User License Agreement that you’re supposed to read carefully. You’re then supposed to click a button to show that you’ve read it all through, understand it and agree with every word. If anyone but the lawyers who write these things has ever read them I’ll eat my hat. Most people just click and move on.
The Google Terms of Service are different.
Before you put Google’s AdSense code on your website, you must read the Terms of Service carefully. I’m not just saying that to protect myself legally; I’m saying that to protect your income.
There are lots of different strategies that you can use to skyrocket your AdSense income. Repeatedly clicking on your ads isn’t one of them. That’s the sort of thing that Google takes a pretty strong line on – and rightly so. It’s just plain dumb and Google have a strong punishment for it: they can ban you for life.
