Is Google AdSense more profitable than Affiliate Programs?

[Jade]

I'm working on a new web site that I want to make money out of. Which would be more profitable, Google AdSnese or affiliate programs? Can I use both on the same pages or site?

Also, which affiliate programs work best for book-related web sites? Is Amaozn profitable as an affiliate program? Do I get commissions on every purchase or just those items listed on my site?

Thanks!

I believe AdSense is one of the most profitable ones - I've used it myself and compared to other 'programs' Adsense is the best,

However, I've seen some really serious affiliate programs that pay very well - up to 2 dollars per click (with further action like registration, order etc)

It all depends - you should try both - and go with whichever you like/make the most of

Adsense is just one way to monitize your website. What I would suggest is to test your monitizing methods.

Its also always good to have at least 2 types of money making methods.

Slap some amazon links too if you are selling books, as its going to be very relevant.

You can also try places link clickbank for digital ebooks or audible for audio books, all these would complement your bookwebsite.
