What will make the most?

[adrizzle]

I am looking for what revenue programs will make me the most for my both of sites targeted towards 12-22 year olds. Do you think I should use adsense, adbrite, Commission Junctions for affailites or anything else? Has anyone used all of these and know what works best for this crowd or has heard what would work best? Thanks for the help

Hi adrizzle

If you're aiming at 12-22 year olds then I presume their buying power may be limited (well at least those in the younger category pre-credit card!!!

For those I can see Adsense working - if you faeture content that draws the likely clickable ads. Google is without doubt the 'primo' ad system because they have such a massive ad-bank they can provide well targeted ads every time (almost) and the 12-16 are peobbaly a good market to be tempetd to click appropriate Ads (research has shown that they are MOST likely to click sponsor ads on SE pages rather than organic search results).

Maybe CJ or even better Clickbank could offer affiliate ops for the 16-22 year old segment - (how about Acne solutions like I offer? amongst others)

If you either feature good content to attract relevant tempting clickable ads you could get a nice adsense stream going. But this would not also preclude writing appropriate preselling material for your affiliate offers.

In this respect - I only glanced at your sites - but I raelize the challenge would be building out beyond the prime offer - both of which are rather likely to attract people to use the services to 'go off' site. The difficulty may be to keep them there long enough to try and get ad clicks or click throughs to your affiliate offers.

If you are writing copy to try and encourage click through to your future product offers I just included a review of some copy optimizing software on HappyToRecommend (sig file) that even professional copywriters can't fault - the front end investment might be worth considering? Just a thought.

I decided I am going to use to Commission Junction and I am going to stop using Google Adsense totally. Thanks for the help websage

I would put both types of ads. Implemented correctly they can work in harmony.

Also, your Gizlio page has a HTML error. Just letting you know.

Yeah I know, I have to wait to get that fixed and a couple of other things.
