I am of the opinion that you need to weigh up what your intentions are for the page and what type of revenue you are going to generate. If the affiliate product is going to bring is $20, but the adsense will do $2 – why have the adsense? You want to narrow their choices about where they can click – not give more options.

I use adsense on my sites on most pages. However, when I rebuild them to feature a product or link to something for sale (e.g. a Clickbank link) I remove the Adsense.

I figure while a page is basically purely informational, I might as well use some of that didital real estate for some adsense.

I also sometimes have a minor PPC going with Yahoo and that has resulted in some Adsense that does compete. But so far my revenue vs cost is way higher – so am in a pickle.

Hi Sean

It’s amazing what a bit of education will do!

I have learned quite a bit about adsense in this competition and I would now have it on my sites. Now that I understand how it works and how it can monetise and compliment my sites I would have no hesitation to using it.

Once I decide on a niche, I’m not inclined to utilise Google Adsense simply because initially I want to try my hand at promoting affiliate products in that niche. If I’m not having much success then I might include Adsense and just let the blog float on its own without much interference. My feeling is that you might as well have something there if your letting the site languish just in case someone drops by. You never know, they just might click through. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
