How to earn money from your web site.
Which affiliate programs really work?

Affiliate Programs (also known as Associate Programs) are one of the best ways to start an online business and earn money from your web site through internet marketing. However, there are now literally hundreds of affiliate programs to choose from ranging from Amazon books to CD Now CD's. Which affiliate programs work and which ones don't? Well if you already have a web site with good traffic, the best advice is to choose affiliate programs that most closely match your sites audience. Pick books and CD's on the Beatles from amazon, for example for a Beatles tribute site or travel guidebooks for a travel related site. A common mistake is to join several affiliate programs, plaster your site with banner ads and expect the money to come rolling in - unsurprisingly it doesn't! The key to affiliate program success is to select only one or two high quality affiliate programs that match the subject of your site (or create a site with good content to match the theme of the affiliate programs) and then promote those affiliate programs using search engines, e-mail (but NOT spam!), discussion lists, news groups, links from other sites and above all by providing good relevant content that will have your visitors returning again and again. You also need to be fussy about which affiliate programs you choose, which is why we have put together a top ten list of the very best affiliate programs.This web site is aimed at pooling experience of affiliate programs to maximise income and share advice, hints and tips.
