This blog can be very focused on Clickbank products and this is my personal preference when making money even with Clickbank’s known problems. However, some of my sites from my early days on the internet continue to bring in a few dollars from Google Adsense clicks.
Google Adsense Adverts are everywhere, some of the biggest and most well known sites make the majority of their income from Adsense (and I mean Millions of $$$), these sites work on huge volumes of visitors and the % of those clicking on their ads. Plentyoffish.com the free dating site made something like $300K/month back in 2006! 
Anyway, back to the point of this post, the choice between Clickbank and Adsense…
I look at it like this:
A Clickbank sale of $80 will take 80-100 hops to make giving an EPC of about $1
An Adsense click in the same niche may earn about $1
The benefit of Adsense is that you don’t have to make an allowance for refunds, the problem is you cannot encourage people to click on the adverts like you might with a Clickbank hoplink.
So, if you find a good high paying niche consider Adsense as an alternative to Clickbank. It doesn’t harm to diversify your income streams to allow for changes!
