Hey, long time lurker here. Finally decided to ask a question... feel free to flame if you must :/

I've built a few WP sites and am pretty confident in building a good looking layout, writing articles, and keeping up with consistency but I've run into a question:

Which affiliate marketing method is most efficient to advertise?

Before I even worry about site design, or generating traffic, I feel like it's hard to find motivation when I'm so clueless on where to start. On previous sites I've tried Clickbank, Amazon, Adsense, etc.

With the adblocking add-ons on browsers and stuff, is Adsense still even a viable option?

A lot of people seem to bash on Amazon Affiliates for low commission rates and whatnot but I was under the impression that with the proper keyword research and niche and product selection, it can be easily profitable. But lately i've been reading/watching a lot of stuff that say amazon is a waste of time. i like how amazon affiliate works so if possible id like to stick with amazon, but is this a viable option or would i have to be extremely lucky to make any profit using this method?

other affiliate networks like clickbank and commissionjunction dont seem as appealing.. are they the way to go?

i know im asking a lot of open ended questions where the answer is probably "it depends" and whatnot but i guess i just want to know if any of these options are absolute "NO"s or if im missing out on any affiliate programs that are more efficient today

appreciate you reading and hopefully i can get some good feedback
thank you
 


Hey, Clickbank is great! I've had lots of success with them. Another one that I have been using lately is JVZOO. I like them a lot too. Before you promote a product listed through them you need to request approval. They show you all the hot selling products from today, this week and even this month!
 
The best ways of affiliating marketing methods I know is as follows

Make benchmarks by setting goals by yourself

Should very well know how campaign your marketing such that it should get exposed to everyone

Should very well know how to handle your affiliates.

Make track record of what you do and keep on analyzing such that it will help you improve a lot better.

till now i have used only adsense and amazon both are well suited for me.. !
 
Thank you for your responses!

I was wondering if anyone can still answer my concern regarding adblock plugins getting rid of adsense ads.. how do we go about this?
 
firefox adblock has about 15 million downloads. worldwide internet users are about 2.5 billion.

what are you worrying about?

if u like amazon/adsense then go for it. stop looking for that magic pill. take action, if u fail try again. take baby steps and plan your financial accordingly.
