Most of the bloggers prefer Pay Per Click advertising program to generate revenue from their blog and don’t think about affiliate marketing because they found it difficult compare to PPC programs. Infact, many bloggers find getting started with Affiliate marketing tough than using PPC programs like Adsense, Bidvertiser and so on.
Google AdSense is most popular among bloggers because it is easy to implement and don’t take any extra efforts to earn money other than your regular blogging. At the same time bloggers complain about low Google AdSense earning compare to their blog traffic and still stuck with AdSense.
Google do share how much revenue split they do with Publishers but there is no exact revenue sharing formula for publishers to calculate earning per click. One day you will find EPC (Earning Per Clicks) of $2 and other day it is just $0.50 for the same page. You don’t know how much you will earn today and how much next day. You may also not be sure with affiliate marketing on which day you will earn and how much but at the same time you know how much you will earn for a particular product sale and you give efforts according it.
If you want to increase earning from your blog you have to look for other monetization options like Affiliate Marketing. Many bloggers don’t find affiliate marketing good source of earning because they feel it don’t gives returns compare to PPC. This point can be true in some cases like you implemented a affiliate banner on your website and you are hoping that you will generate at least one sale for that day then it may go against you but at a same time if you have implemented Google AdSense or any other PPC advertisements you may find few clicks on that ads and some revenue for sure.
