AdSense makes sense?

I was thinking about AdSense this morning when my mother phoned. With panic in her voice she informed me that my youngest son had managed to lock himself in the kitchen and now they couldn’t unlock the door. It took me five minutes to get there, I managed to crawl through the kitchen window but after two hours we had still not managed to open the door. Hubby gave it another try with his famous tool box but he was just as unsuccessful. Eventually we gave up and I went hunting for Chinese take away for gran as she was starving. Unfortunately nothing was open with the exception of Tesco express and I managed to grab the last sandwich on the shelf.

Back to AdSense, I searched through the forum to find out what other people thought about AdSense and weigh up the pros and cons. At first it seemed so simple but then according to some people it wasn’t that simple. I understand that if you have a site which has it’s main focus on making money from ‘clicks’ or advertising then it would work well but that’s not exactly what I have. Hell, I don’t even know what I have yet!

I went searching for my guru (my husband) and asked him to give me one simple reason why I wouldn’t want to use AdSense on my blog. I already knew why I should use it but now I wanted to know why I shouldn’t. The answer was quite simply;- because I don’t want to redirect traffic away from my blog. I want to have affiliate links on my blog so that I can earn $49 dollars pr click instead of a few cents. Now that just makes so much sense to me! Quality not quantity - that works for me!

So now I have decided to search through clickbank and find some really good ebooks that I believe will add value to somebody’s life.
