3. Data Is King
If someone says place adsense on your site,
affiliate banners and CPC in your sidebar, tell
them BACK IT UP.
We’re in a day and age where you have data,
measurement and the ability to make decisions
based on numbers, not gut instincts or fluffy
comments.
4. Where to Use What Kind of Ads
CPM – Cost per thousand impressions
CPC – Cost per click
Affiliate – Revenue sharing
CPL – Cost per lead
CPA/G – Cost per action/goal (email signups,
contest entries, survey completions, etc…)
