Make Money on Squidoo Hi Chris,

I also find AdSense the most stable income source, (I make money every day) but traffic wise Clickbank makes a LOT more money per visitor, but you do get days when you make little and even nothing the odd day.

Also it’s really easy to gain traffic from search engines as long as you don’t mind too much what SERPs you target, at one point I was getting around 6-8,000 visitors a day to a Poetry section of a site, (so all the traffic was poetry relevant, people looking for poems etc…) but the conversion was RUBBISH from AdSense (must have been a few cents a click and CTR was LOW). Conversely gaining specific traffic, say mortgage loans type traffic is quite hard, so when you choose a particular Clickbank (or any) product to promote your unlikely to pull in 5,000 visitors a day: most of my Clickbank pages are seeing 10s to hundreds of visitors a day each.

If you’ve read all my revenue reports you’ll see I recently lost a big chunk of traffic (my recipe site) which has cost me around $30 a day from AdSense. So $30 a day from about 8,000 unique visitors a day!

In comparison I’ve added a a few hundred extra visitors a day recently to Clickbank pages (so single pages, not whole sites) and those are making more than the lost $30 a day from 8,000 visitors!

My 12 year old son made over $100 from Clickbank in about a 10 day period last month from a few hundred visitors on a site I gave him to use as a blog. In the same period the site would have made a few dollars from AdSense as well.

When you look at it that way AdSense is terrible, however it’s really hard to find good Clickbank products, so though there’s the potential to make a lot of money, in practice it’s quite hard to find the right products to promote.

With regards content, the content that makes about 80% of my money is written by me, I’d love to outsource, but find it hard to find good content writers. As I’m a SEO consultant I’m going to rewrite it anyway, so might as well do it all myself.

The template I use with best results AdSense wise is the one I use on this site I consistently get high CTR on the majority of sites I use it on.
