Adsense is a good source of income, but affiliate programs can provide a residual source of income for you.Diversifying is the key, and one should never rely on just one source of income.

[...] It is important to optimize your Adsense adverts, such as through positioning of the ads and the colors of the adsense links. You should also explore alternative income streams. [...]

[...] Google Adsense has really given so many people the opportunity to make a living, or at least have some extra cash on their passions and hobbies. Its a great start, but eventually you must start diversifying your income, not only to protect yourself from a “single point of failure,” but to really start growing your income levels. Look into things like Text Link Ads(Aff), Chitika, Amazon, or start filling ad space with house ads. [...]

Hey.. I don’t think any one has asked about this yet..

I’m not completely sure I understood if Google allows me to have another advertising company on my site..

What are the rules? am I allowed to have text ads? only image ads? link ads? affiliate ads? and so on..

Thanks for this site! great info!

[...] Do you have an online site that actually makes you money? ProBlogger Darren Rowse recommends you find secondary sources of income: “Diversify Your Blogging Income with Secondary Money Earners.” I still am largely dependent upon two income sources these days from my blogs but know that because they are spread out over a number of blogs and because I have a number of secondary income sources supplementing them that if AdSense and Chitika fell over for one reason or another that I’d have enough coming in to survive.

[...] Diversify your investment to decrease risk. It is very rare that a single blog alone will make you break even. It may not provide returns for the time/money that you've invested in your blog; spread your investments across various blogs if necessary and across different advertising media – for eg., my primary readers are not informed about my blog via the Internet; they come here through mouth-to-mouth advertising!! Problogger Darren Rowse explains how his income from blogs didnt come from one source alone – Adsense. (ok I dont know him personally, so I would redirect all questions to him if you have any.)

Jason,

Thanks a lot for you advice, I’ll try my best. See you around…alive and kicking.

Subspace,

I know you can appeal with AdSense. I’ve heard of people getting their accounts back after several e-mails to Google, but from my knowledge–it’s rare. My two cents…

Cheers,

My AdSense account was sabotage by one of my ex-classmate, is it possible to enable back the AdSense account? Please give advice!

Great advice. I’ve been hearing horror stories about AdSense accounts getting banned–from actual bloggers I know. It got me a little worried, so I’ve been looking for what you call “multiple streams.” …I like the idea of AdBrite.

From what I read on your site, it doesn’t look like Chitika will work for me, considering I don’t write about products…

I might check out your six-figure blogging course once I earn a buck. I’ve been a writer for many years, but I’ve only been blogging since January. I hope I can turn this into something. Your posts certainly help.

Cheers,

Darren, that’s really a burning question that I ask myself most of the time. Currently we rely 95% on Google for our revenue which is very bad, startegically. We have tried chitika, and it turned out to be a huge flop as they confiscated our payment without any reason. Also, CPA based advertisers haven’t worked out well for us. Although we generate lot of traffic from the sites, most of the traffic goes unused.

My ads are pretty diversified, but Adsense, YPN and Chitika get most of the airplay.
Recently signed up for Azoogleads, and even got a phone call follow-up today.
Time will tell.

I’ve just joined Backlinks.com, similar to Text Link Ads. But publisher may set own price and has the right to decline ads that TLA doesn’t. No commission on sales made through Backlinks but it takes 1 out of 12 spots of your ads.

Darren, Have you tried Linkworth? They are working pretty well for me.

Thanks for the tips, Michael! I applied for both Valueclick and Casale…. Never heard of Casale. We’ll see how the application processes go. I don’t see why Technosailor would “not” get approved but then I’ll have to determine which programs to actualy use and which onesto pass on. Now if I could get my other blogs to acceptable levels that would e grand.

Kevin – my theory with ads is to put them up early on. I don’t wait for the traffic to come first because with any level of traffic they’ll start to earn something and lots of ’somethings’ add up to be a bigger something….
