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.
