Hi!

I would like to subcsribe to one of those PPC affiliate programs. They are paying for every click your visitors made on their ads, are'nt they? Which is the best program?
What are my other options to make some money? I have 1000 page views per day.
Any suggestion would be great!
Thanks

GoogleAds is the first that springs to mind.

Has anybody here actually gotten a pay check from Google using adsense?

It use to be here a while ago. Not entirely sure why, but it was removed.

OK, so Adsense. I heard that Targetpoint pays better?! (it's some new program)
Are they paying for every click that your visitors make on their ads?How much money can I make with 1000 page views?

That depends entirely on how many clicks you get.

AdSense is what I recommend.

Where else can you make $2.70 in one click? 8)

(I've actually have done $1.50+ per click a few times)

2.7$ for one click???????? That's cool. But is this true, because i read that http://publisher.targetpoint.com/aboutinfo is paying better than Adsense? But they are not paying 2.7 for one click. Unbelievable!
I have to check this out!
But with what kind of ads, related to what?

the nice thing about Adsense is that it pertains to whatever your site is about. and its no flashy ads, all text and not annoying at all. i higly recommend it

Yeah. Relevant ads = more clicks = more income. Some may promise more per click, but it's all about the number of clicks. For example: <span style='color:red;text-decoration:blink' title='Alert a moderator!'>grilled spam</span> ads on a gaming site, doesn't come close to comparing to the number of clicks you'd get from a gaming ad on a gaming site. So even if the <span style='color:red;text-decoration:blink' title='Alert a moderator!'>grilled spam</span> ad is $0.30 per click, the gaming ad at $0.10 per click will most likely make you more money.

And your per-click income is totally based on how the advertiser who put that ad into AdWords setup the keywords. And also just how popular the keywords your site generates are to advertisers.

If more people want their site published on say, a casino-related site, the cost per click to the advertiser will go up because of the competition between them to get a top spot on a casino site. And of course, more competition for spots on a site means the per-click income will be driven up for publishers of ads on a casino-related site.

It's best to do some research at both AdSense and AdWords if you want to better understand the whole system in it's entirety. And to take it a step further, maybe sign up for both of the programs for an even better grasp at how everything works from both ends.
