Rotating Text Affiliate Program Links Instead of Adsense?

I've heard of webmasters replacing their adsense blocks and rotating similar text links to relevant affiliate programs instead.

I've been looking at programs like advert-rotator and Adsrotator.

If you could track what affiliate programs your visitors are clicking on, you would have a better idea of what to serve to your visitors to get sales. It seems like you could theoretically make more money than adsense with this.

Has anyone had experience doing this?
 


I ran a test where I replaced the adsense block with text - making it look like adsense with images next to it - for my affiliate products. Didn't get much conversions.

Shucks....... But thanks for the input guys.

Did you guys try running the same offers you saw Adsense displaying?

I wouldn't concentrate on having it look like adsense necessarily. I'd just follow more of the CTR% rotation model with banners. Banners will have much higher CTRs than adsense blocks probably.

I just wanted to try it with images next to them - like we used to have for adsense - and see how that performed. CTR was OK, but the conversions sucked.
 
You are much better off doing images than text ads, you'll get a lot of extra clicks from people miss clicking and what not.

I've found depending on the site/aff program it converts slightly better than adsense on some of my sites but in general hasn't really been worth the set up time unless I am seeing good daily revenue.
