Amazing Video Of Guy Who Makes $20K A Month From AdSense

I’ve been involved in affiliate marketing for over three years. In fact, I make most of my money from affiliate marketing (AdSense doesn’t come even close).

Still, affiliate marketing is a great niche for AdSense. Well, maybe not great, but decent. If you know what you are doing.

Here is the trick. The best paying ads are from the sellers of affiliate marketing courses … UNLESS these are being sold by their affiliates. Got it? If the ad is from the seller directly – it’s good. If it’s a Clickbank or Commission Junction affiliate, it’s worth pennies.

In order not to violate Google TOS, I rate niches with my own star system. ** - $0.20-$0.30 per click average, *** - $0.30-$0.50 per click average, **** - $0.50-$0.70 per click average, ***** - $0.70-$1.20 per click average. While I don’t mind sharing information on ***** niches, I don’t make this information publicly available because it would quickly kill these niches or get Google pissed off at me.

All AdSense niches were tested by me personally and your results shouldn’t be very different, unless your account was smart-priced, too much time passed since my testing, MFA got a hold of the niche or your site or traffic source sucks big time.
