Ahsaniqbalkmc 0 Report post Posted January 30, 2012 I have a website on Human Anatomy. It specifically covers the subject and the target audience for the website is students. Undergraduates, graduates, school kids all can get useful information on the website. I have already placed three units of adsense ads, so my website is already stuffed with ads. Recently, a friend told me that the sidebar of your website is empty and you are wasting a lot of valuable space. My idea was that adsense ads are enough and I don't want to stuff so many advertisement on the website that it looks spammy but my friend told me that I should do research on how much ads are presented on various website. From that time, whenever I visit a website, I try to look for how the ads are placed and how many of them are there. So far, I have come to conclude that most websites have a good number of advertisement on them, but what they do smartly is they promore closely related products so that instead of looking spammy, it all appears natural. So I am planning to follow a similar strategy on my website and start promoting products that would make sense to the audience. The best product I can think for my website are books, as the target audience are students. But when I did research on how much profit can be generated from books, I come to know that it is not much and if I am to do this, I should do just to help my visitors find books easily and not expect any good money from it. Considering the modest amount of traffic I recieve, I have started to think that books aren't going to do much good and I should find other ways of making use of the wasted space in the sidebar. I need to get your ideas on selling books as affiliate. Is it worth it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
