Adsense Rev Share or Up-front payment?

Im looking to start article writing to generate some extra income. Do you think its best to submit my articles to a site like InfoBarrel and get a percentage of the adsense clicks, or to submit to AC and get upfront payments?

I can see the plus and minus points for both options, just interested to see what you guys prefer.

In the long run rev-share seems to be more ideal...But it will take alot more effort.. good luck

i would do some of both. so that way you get cash now and have long term income.

at the moment i'm doing it like this: i submit articles to ac at first for upfront payment. usually not all of the articles are going to be accepted for upfront payments. so i take the rejected ones and use them for infobarrel because i am too lazy to modify them and resubmit them to ac again and again. i also think that a mix of both could work well.

Thanks for the responses guys. The combination of a residual income and up front payment looks like the best option.

@Johnconnor
I like that idea, gives you the best of both worlds. Thanks for sharing.

AC = short term
Adsense sharing sites = long term
AC + Adsense sites => linkback to personal blogs (more traffic more money.).


I'm with johnconnor. I also post my AC rejected articles onto other sites. I'm too busy to rewrite rejects all the time to suit AC needs.

My two favorite sites are Infobarrel and Triond.

Infobarrel because of the 75% adsense and the use of google analytics.
Triond because of the page view payments. Which comes in handy when there are days I get a page view but no ad click.
