You must have a product or service to offer in order to earn from Google adwords which is for advertisers. But how do you earn from Google Adwords if you don' t a product or a service to offer? Do you have success in promoting affiliate programs using Google Adwords?

You dont earn from adwords, you earn money on a site from adsense, adwords is for advertising your site. You have to have some type of product or service on your site to make decent money with adsense.

You would be able to earn some money from advertising on adwords and receiving the revenues from an affiliate program. But some programs have stipulations about how you advertise their products and services.

Sometimes they do not allow ppc advertising at all and sometimes, they are limited how you can use it. I think the best way to do it would be to have a good page with serious content coupled with targeted ads to the affiliates and then you could send your adwords traffic to that page.

Correct me if I'm wrong. You're suggesting then to promote your own site with serious contents containing affiliate programs. You will promote this thru adwords instead of promoting affiliate programs directly which may be in violation of their marketing policy.

Yes I think we are saying the same thing. Basically some programs will not let you use the affiliate link directly as the link in your ad.

But at the same time you need traffic to your website, so if you make a good enough ad, your target audience will come to your site and you will make conversions when you incorporate the affiliate's product into your text.

That means you can also incorporate your Google Adsense and other complementary PPCs like Chitika eminimalls on your site . Its actually earning from Google Adwords and Google Adsense at the same time.

My only comment on affiiate programs is that surfers seem to avoid links with affiliate IDs.

Thats why you should make the link into an image because people like clicking banners more than text ads.

You CAN earn from Adsense vouchers though. Those vouchers can be used at t he time of new Adsense account creation and has good demand. You can sell those vouchers in exchange of Paypal or e-gold

There are ways to hide your affiliate ID. One is use TinyUrl or similar service which can rename your affiliate id. But I don't think having an affiliate is an issue if your site has good contents.

One of my friend has got 100 $ from this, you believe or not this is real,
Your adwords must match your site, thats where you go wrong, If you do this with little care you can really make 100 bugs.

you can earn from adwords if you have your own product to sell or if you promote any affiliate products or for your site having adsense ads on it . adwords can deliver visitors who are really interested in your product if you prepare the ad in a good manner and attractively written.

There is the possibility however that his site is selling tangible items. If adwords brings traffic then we could make sales and in turn make money.

The first time I made google adwords ads, was after reading a book made by chris carpenter some years ago about Google Adwords, called Google Cash. (Im not intending to promote it). Things have changed since the released of that book, he mainly said that you could focus in low cost keywords, 0.05cents, per click, and do ads of different affiliate programs to earn money.

I tried applying his system two years ago, and promoted one ebook I found on clickbank. The result was U$S15 invested and U$S25earnings, thats U$S10 I made in five days, they are not great numbers, but If I have had dedicated more time, finding different type of opportunities, or investing more many it surely is a very interesting job to do.
