I started noticing that my Adsense earnings were falling like a stone about 3 months ago. I am no guru, but for sometime now I've really valued my Adsense checks that usually arrive by special courier.
My Adsense income comes in through a couple of blogs that I run. Usually I drive free traffic to them using free keyword rich articles I write myself and nothing else. With this kind of arrangement, Google Adsense has been pretty profitable for me.
So you can understand my pain when my Adsense income went Ka-boom all of a sudden without any warning.
At first I figured that there had to be some changes Google had made (they are always making changes aren't they?) and I promised myself that I would somehow figure it out. Instead my earnings continued their free fall. Last month they hit rock bottom and I have now been busy trying to see how best to go back to some of my old haunts with my hat humbly in hand.
Then last week, totally by accident I stumbled on Scott Boulch's cocky Adsense report The Death Of Adsense and everything fell into place. The mystery was explained. The reason why my earnings had suddenly crashed without any warning. The reason why my clicks were on the increase and yet I never seemed to earn more than a few miserable cents for any single miserable click.
I read Part I of the report and caught by breath for a minute staring at my computer screen in utter disbelief. Scott Boulch talks about a site whose earnings had dropped from $30,000 a month to less than $5,000 a month, just like that. And those were the big boy gurus, what chance did small operators like me now stand?
"What was I going to do?" I kept asking myself.

What Will You Do Now That You Cannot Earn What You Used To Earn From Adsense?
After reading through Scott Boulch's special report on the death of Adsense, I realized one fact for certain. That my healthy Adsense earnings had flown out of the window, never to return again.
As I have already said before I am no guru and I may not be very smart, but I knew enough to figure out that Google were not going to change things any time soon so that my earnings would get back up there and rising. For starters when all those millions of site owners saw their income fall like a stone, guess what they are bound to do? They will go back to Google and get those now extremely cheap Adwords ads (imagine paying a fraction of a cent for a valuable lead?). So instead of Google paying those folks some money for thei Adsense ads, they'll now be earning from them. So why should they change anything if the whole arrangement puts even more money into their pockets?
What then, was I going to do? Scott Boulch had a neat solution in his special report. The only problem was that I didn't feel like spending money on Adwords, besides I didn't have much left over after what has been happening over the last couple of months.
That is the question you should also be asking yourself. You probably have plenty of cash to throw into a cheap Google Adwords campaign using the very valuable and yet free tips in Scott Boulch's special report on the death of Adsense.

Is There Still Serious Money To Be Made Online After The Death Of Adsense?
What I like best about Scott Boulch's special report is that there's no BS (excuse my having to use this example from the cow to get my point across, but there is so much of it flying around the web these days that the smell gets nauseating every time you log onto the Internet.)
Scott Boulch's special report is candid and even if he does try to sell me something in future after this splendid service and free report, I will gladly buy. The man says he makes an average of $50,000 on the net every month using his non-Adsense ways to monetize his sites. He even admits that he still uses Adsense, only that he does not rely on it anymore for most of his revenue.
I know a few other guys who make even more cash than that online doing all sorts of non-Adsense stuff.
So the answer to the question in my headline is a resounding 'yes' there is still some very serious money to be made online even after the death of Adsense. Maybe the other even more important question is if I am talking here about money that is as easy to make as Adsense cash was in its' heydays. And again the answer has to be a loud 'yes'.

Can You Really Get More For Your Clicks Than Those Miserable Adsense Cents?
The truth is that Adsense blinded us all for a very long time from opening our eyes and seeking other opportunities. Nobody wanted to heed the warnings or seriously read those Adsense-bashing articles that spilled the beans.
Part of the reason was of course the fact that it was so easy to make money with Adsense. You just blogged and did your stuff and meanwhile somebody was paying you. It just took the imagination and the breath away, even from those who were not making much.
Actually this death of Adsense thing is a blessing in disguise because it has helped open the eyes of many including the fellow writing this article.
Let us for a moment ask ourselves one question. Is it worth giving away those valuable leads for a couple of single digit cents? You work hard to generate traffic to your site, and put in a lot in all the other chores that enable that valuable lead to arrive at your site and click at some Adsense ad. Your reward for the effort? 4cents? 8 cents?
One alternative (which even Scott Boulch talks about in his special report) is CPA networks where you can end up making $10 or more for a single click through. What are CPA networks?
CPA stands for cost per action. This is a form of affiliate marketing with a difference. Instead of being paid for a sale, you get paid every time a site visitor fills out and submits a form after licking through to the landing page from your site. It is as simple as that. What you are actually doing here is generating leads. Leads can be very valuable to any business and this is why some of them are prepared to pay such a high price for them.
Making money here is very simple if you choose to promote offers that are as closely related to your content as possible. This is because chances of the person being interested in taking action and downloading a special report or whatever action (which will cost them nothing) needs to be done are very high.
