Anyone have any experience with affiliate marketing? How realistic are hopes of making 50$ per day, with a few pages?

Are you talking about ads on your webpages? I think >>1127697

Not OP but I tired to get into it back in like 2011 and after playing around with a few different things mainly just broke even or lost a few bucks. Has affiliate marketing died off because of adblockers and Google changing SEO algorithms? Or is it still a thing? Most of the old AM forums I used to lurk have died so I don't know if everyone moved on to social media or if AM just died off.

I was thinking more like Amazon affiliate, not some MLM shit like Herbalife

Adblockers are more or less beneficial to affiliate marketers (Not the business owners/ad networks though)

They basically weed out lots of accidental clicks and people who had a 0% chance of clicking your ads anyway. Doesn't change profit as almost all PPC networks have bidding systems, they just make everything more consistent.

SEO on Google is a lot harder to maintain if your site doesn't have genuine content but it's still relevant. Black hat SEO is more or less dead.

$50/day is pretty realistic after a month of learning/working if you're devoted to it. You just have to experiment a lot and whenever you see a possibility of profit, you have to dig into it and try to get the most out of it. The mistake a lot of noob marketers make is as soon as they start making money, they stop optimizing and scaling because they're scared of losing it. They're left with $5/day when they could be making $500/day.

If I would you I'd pursue whitehat/greyhat ventures, as BH is never sustainable, and internet users are generally more wise to bullshit than they used to be.

Whitehat things would be authority sites, non spam blogs, buying ad space while abiding by the ToS, staying within the law and ethics, and quality content in general. Greyhat means you can do a bit of unethical shit if it gets you ahead in the long run, but nothing that would risk you losing your business.

This probably explains why advertising died out back in the '20s. Just a big ol' scam on those poor naive admen.
