I am glad to see that there are still few persons on the internet who are NOT using auto blog posters. Creating a blog like yours and maintaining it are difficult tasks but you managed it. Ok! Come to the point. However, you have tried to give good information about affiliate programs but I am still against affiliate programs. I mean fault is not in the affiliate programs but in the people. They do not want to work hard and leave the programs after some time. Now, you might be thinking, if I am against affiliate programs then why I am here at your blog. Actually I am doing some sort of research on affiliate programs and when started reading your blog, I sticked to it and could not stop myself writing comment. I am not so much against affiliate programs, but my nature is a sort of experimenting. I keep on doing experiments for making money in new ways. If you visit my website, clicking on my name in this comment then you are bound to get amazed. If, I write more about my site then you will think that I am spamming and I do not want to get my comment considered as spam. So, again from the begining, you have done a very good job! Hard work is appreciated! Well done! Thanks for providing such a nice detailed information. Keep it up!

That's why I like to go with larger -- but not CJ-like -- networks. Hydra is one of those. @ Steve – that’s definitely a problem. That’s why I like to go with larger — but not CJ-like — networks.

This happened many times over at my ex-employer and as an affiliate webmaster myself. I got out of affiliate marketing every since running the backend to a major program that was out of NJ.

One alternative is cost-per-action (CPA) programs. With CPA, you direct visitors to other web sites, but instead of getting paid for the click you get paid if someone performs an action at the target web site. This action can be as simple as providing an e-mail address (earns you about $1-$2) or completing a lead form (earns you $5-$35). You get fewer actions than clicks, but the dollars can add up quickly. I’ve started forwarding some of my domains that perform poorly with PPC directly to affiliate pages that pay me on cost-per-action. If you’ve flirted with affiliate programs before, including Google affiliate arbitrage, you’ve probably signed up for Commission Junction or Linkshare. This is a fool’s game.

This is especially helpful if you have a niche term and can't find any affiliate programs for it. @ Rob – great tip.
