Think of it this way, …
Ad-sense works by including google into the mix, matching your people with products other people are selling …. right?
1) It’s unlikely that it will pay as well as casino ads
2) the advertiser is expecting to make a profit
3) Google is a 3rd party that will take the lions share of the remainder …
So how on earth do you expect Google Ad-sense to pay more than going direct ?
I guess if the traffic is junky Indian sub-continent click-fest traffic that would never really be buying ANYTHING then at least Google ad-sense pays you something for it … albeit not much
However, if you have content, good partners, and genuine clicks from people intersted in your site then actually selling something pays a lot more.
My own experience (of rev-share) is that this year we divide our revenue generated by the number of page impressions then I get a $USD figure way, way, way above any adsense numbers that I’ve ever seen, perhaps 20x, 30x 50x bigger.
The only people getting rich on adsense are 1% of Advertisers (who target well and know how to sell) and Google who take a BIG slice of all the action.
