Affiliate Marketing Mixed With Google Adsense Equals Profits

  Are you a webmaster in need of funding to run your website? Or is your website the only way to make money? Whoever you are, if you are a webmaster or a web publisher and need cash, affiliate marketing can work well for you. With affiliate marketing, you can easily get a lot of money in your bank account. And if your website is rich with great content and you want to earn more, why not join the Google Adsense program too?

Why Affiliate Marketing?  

Simply because affiliate marketing is the easiest and probably the best way to earn profits online if you are not a marketer and would rather sell your own products online than advertise other marketers' products on your site. But even online sellers can benefit from affiliate marketing programs because affiliate marketing actually works for both merchants and affiliates.

Affiliate marketing, simply put, is a relationship or agreement between two websites, where one website is the merchant's website and the other is the affiliate website. In the relationship, the affiliate agrees to let the merchant advertise his products on the affiliate's website. The merchant, on the other hand, would agree to pay the affiliate in whatever way they agreed upon. This would generally mean easy income for the affiliate because they would be doing nothing more than placing the seller's ad on their site. This would also be very beneficial to the marketer as getting affiliates to advertise their products would be much more affordable than hiring an advertising firm to promote their products.

There are a variety of methods for a marketer to compensate an affiliate for their services, and for the webmaster, these methods simply translate into a way for them to make money easily. The more common methods of compensation include the pay-per-click, pay-per-lead, and pay-per-sale methods. The pay per click method is the method preferred by affiliate partners because a visitor to their site would only have to visit the advertiser's site to earn money. The other two methods, on the other hand, are preferred by merchants because they would only have to compensate you if your visitor becomes one of their registrants or if the visitor actually buys their products.

However, making a big profit from affiliate marketing programs does not depend so much on the compensation method, but on the traffic generated by your website. A website that can attract more visitors would generally have a better chance of profiting in affiliate marketing programs.

What about Google Adsense? 

Google Adsense is actually some kind of affiliate marketing program. In Google Adsense, Google acts as an intermediary between affiliates and merchants. A merchant or advertiser simply registers with Google and provides Google with text ads related to their products. These ads, which are actually a link to the advertiser's website, would then appear on Google search as well as on websites owned by affiliates or webmasters who have signed up for the Google Adsense program.

While many similarities can be found between Google Adsense and other affiliate marketing programs, you can also see many differences. In Google Adsense, all a webmaster needs to do is place the code on their website and Google will take care of the rest. The ads that Google would place on your site would generally be relevant to the content of your site. This would be beneficial for both you and the advertiser as your website visitors would be more or less genuinely interested in the advertised products.

The Google Adsense program compensates the affiliate on a pay-per-click basis. Advertisers pay Google a certain amount every time their ad is clicked on your site, and Google transfers that amount to you via checks, although only after Google deducts their share of the amount. Google Adsense checks are usually delivered monthly. Google Adsense also provides webmasters with a tracking tool that allows you to track the earnings you actually get from a particular ad.

Where is all this leading us? 

Where else but to profits, profits and even more profits! Affiliate marketing programs and the Google Adsense program simply work, whether you are a marketer or an affiliate. A lot of money can be saved on the marketer's side if advertising efforts are focused on affiliate marketing rather than dealing with advertising firms. As a webmaster, you can easily make a lot of profits just by doing what you do best, which is creating websites. And if you combine all your earnings from Google Adsense and other affiliate marketing programs, it would surely translate into a lot of money.
