Your Best Publisher Program to Make Money with Google Adsense - UK Web Hosting | Dedicated Server Windows and Linux VPS Forum

What is your best affiliate program to make money online ? My best affiliate program to make money is Google Adsense. I have joint with Google Adsense more than seven month and I can get more and more every month. Now I have a plan to make a community website hosting in my country, I hope the member will increase and my earnings also can increase everyday.

I have heard Google Adsense is reasonable but have also heard about a lot of people having quite severe problems with it so I am reluctant to use it (although I am willing to be convinced).

There are different benefits to different affiliate programs and a lot depends on the traffic to your website hosting for how much will pay for space / give you per click. I haven't used all that many affiliate programs so I don't think I could recommend a "best" one, needless to say the affiliate programs that I have used / am using have treated me well.

Adsense is good but not high paying and it take your lot of time, also it's very hard to say goodbye! adsense especially when they ban you the time you are going to reach the $100 mark to get your payment released, alternatively CJ.com I do consider good one to have look on especially for affiliate program.

Thats the one thing I do disagree with regarding Adsense - they should have to pay the balance of the account when they ban you otherwise they could just start banning everybody when they get near the payout threashold.

Having said that, if the money was made against the rules I wouldn't pay out.

Its a tough subject, there is no suitable solution that I can see, either customers sometimes get cheated or the company does!!

Publisher programmes are helpful to get the extra cash and some people rely on publisher programmes for a good monthly income. Moreover on this subject some people that own big website hostings and get hundreds of pounds from publisher programmes such as Google Adsense don't go to work because they get sufficient profits for a monthly income. However you need to be wary because some people know about Googles rules and click numerous times and get you banned. I have used publisher programmes before such as Clicksor but I have never used Google Adsense because of their strict policies on their publisher programme. I have heard time and time again people are getting banned from Google Adsense.

The people who make loads off programs like Google Adsense are the people who don't really need the money anyway - like huge companies that make millions of pounds of profit from their products and services.

If you want to make good money with your website hosting (for example enough not to work) I would not advise anyone to rely on this type of advertising. What do they pay $0.01 a click? - maybe less, so you need 200 unique clicks to make £1. There are more profitable ways to spend your time!

The PPC price on other publisher programmes is about 10 cents but Google Adsense I believe pays much more ($1.00 or something) however only on specific ads that pays more.

I still would not recommend to devote all your time to making this work. Yes its great if your website hostings a hobby but if your looking at living of a web based business I would avoid it.

Personally if you owned a business and devoted loads of time to your ads it would show in poorer service and products (because of all the time you are devoting to the ads) and would make me as a customer avoid that company like the plague.

I agree and I do not recommend it either. Personally if I saw a company that offered services lets say an ISP and they added Google Adsense to their website hosting it wouldn't motivate me to buying their services. Moreover some companies (lets say some company that is an RPG game) they probably use publisher advertising as their source of profits. However a neat suggestion could be to make a 'members only' features group where they would need to pay £5.00 or something? As you have said there are many other ways of getting profits without risking your profit loss.

Essentially what I mean by what I have said is that, for example, I am on a Computer Science degree. At the end of my degree when I start work or start my own business I will be looking for more money that ads would give me.

I currently am in double figures per hour at the moment in my current part time employment so there is no way that I would be able to drop to the wages that ads would give me.

Another example, a web design website hosting - they wouldn't need the ads cause they could make £25 an hour (at least) by designing web pages - they don't need the few pounds a month the ads provide along with all the stress and hassle with programs like Adsense

For balance payment they have a simple answer that they are going to return the amount to their adwords advertisers, also, it is very hard for a publisher to prove that they are innocent especially if their account has been taken down for invalid clicks.

I agree. Google is very quick to ban people without notice. That applys to the search engine and the Adsence. A good example is when Jaguar got hacked and had porn links in the source so google banned me.

On the plus side, when I did call them and explain they put me back in, at #1 whereas i wasnt even in the top 10 pages before.

**DPS Computing** · #13 (**permalink**) 25-05-2007, 21:22

Yes, I think Google (with regards to Adsense) have an Guilty until proven Innocent attitude but if you are banned and prove your innoncence they seem to allow you back on.

I've been kicked off Adsense for a numerous amount of times now for apparently 'clicking on my own ads', which I didn't do because I'm not that shallow. I use affiliate programs like TradeDoubler and CJ, simply because you can get adverts from all the big companies on your website hosting - it makes it look good.

**DPS Computing** · #15 (**permalink**) 28-05-2007, 12:23

I agree with you on that flesso. "Promotion through Association" is a very powerful advertising tool.

@ comments on google adsense - lol I know they think we have nothing better to do than click on our own ads
