Good post, Paul! I think you hit the nail on the head that affiliates are taking advantage of things that are becoming market inefficiencies. They may not have been market inefficiencies a while ago, but as google gets better at targeting and making things relevant, affiliates using adwords at least is becoming a market inefficiency. Market inefficiencies always disappear as people find out about it.

All of that said, affiliation/JVs are still a great idea if you already have customers, cause then you’re just monetizing existing customers and amortizing cost of getting those customers across more products.

Like Dan Kennedy says, your most important asset is customers (or readers or clients or whatever). People who have already bought from you and trust you are very likely to buy more from you, or from your affiliates/JV partners. Just means it’s gonna get a bit more difficult to make money from affiliates. No longer as easy as setup a few adwords.

I put AdSense back up as the main advertising on Movie-Vault.com a couple weeks ago mainly because associated affiliate gives had been not converting at all, and ad network payouts are so thin these days with incredibly higher default percentages and horrid targeting. .-= internet phone providers´s last blog ..LifeLock Identity Theft Services =-.

Adsense gives you more control over your search result and you can access more advanced features at google. It makes sense!

Adsense nowadays is definitely a whole new ballpark compared to what it was back in the day. :/

@Jean: Check out my next post, where I talk about Reason #2 why I re-installed adsense. I think it might shed some light on the niche issue. Meaning, I no longer believe building a site in a “high CPC” niche is needed. Even niche markets like “make money online” will now make money. Why? Because the ads are now not being targeted based on content.

Adsense nowadays is definitely a whole new ballpark compared to what it was back in the day. That being said, adsense can work, and it can work really well. But in my opinion, it also depends on the website and particular niche. Personally, I think make money online niches, and those types of blogs tend to have a low CTR, the true test will be if you can get your CTR to be decent, if your CTR is good, then I think adsense will be very much worth it Paul. CTR comes hand in hand with ad positioning, so you will likely have to find the right balance between ad placement for CTR vs retention of readers.

Till then,

Jean

@Tyler: What do you mean by “Don’t make me opt out of follow-up comments by email”?

Is the checkbox disappearing for you or something? Is it broken?

The reason your latest blog post is appearing underneath the submit button is because I’m using a plugin called “Comment Luv”. Essentially, as a reward for leaving a comment the plugin fetches you latest blog post and leaves a link to it.

It’s a fairly new plugin / system that has become very popular amongst bloggers, so that you can leave comments without trying to stuff keywords into your “Name” field, while at the same time getting deep links to your content pages on your Blog.

As for AdSense, I’ve been watching the relevancy of my AdSense ads and have been very happy with them so far compared to when I tried AdSense on my Blog before. Google has changed their algorithm for ad targeting. I’ll be writing about that in my next Blog post.
