Affiliate Networks for Making Money

by Justin on October 27, 2008

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Regardless of what type of site you’re running, you need a method of monetization. Most of the sites I run are monetized with affiliate marketing. Affiliates can work for almost any website model, including flagship blogs, niche blogs, niche stores, review sites, mini review sites, mini site, and one page mini sites. There are plenty of money making ideas that you can use to make money online.

One road bump of learning how to make money online is finding an affiliate to sale. I thought it’d be useful to make a list of some of the internet’s most popular affiliate programs. Of course, this doesn’t include every possible affiliate, but these are some of the bigger and better networks which will provide enough products to sale.

Commision Junction – This is one of the largest affiliate networks .
Clickbank – A affiliate market place with lots of ebooks, software and info products.
Linkshare – A large affiliate network similar to Commission Junction
Performics – Another CJ like network with well known brands.
Pepperjam – Another great network with products being added constants.
Ebay and Amazon also have great affiliate networks. I’ve had great luck with the Ebay affiliate network.
Regnow – Is an affiliate network with a focus on software
CardOffers – Is a site that focuses on credit cards.
And a few other smaller ones include Azoogle, CPA Empire, Hydra, and XY7

I haven’t used all of these programs yet, but they all come with good reputations and are promoted by many affiliates. I’ve worked Clickbank, Pepperjam, Ebay, and Regnow. In addition I work some small site specific programs, such as HostGator and Article Marketer.

There are several other affiliates that you can promote, other than the ones listed here. Some I won’t go into on this site. For example, there is an entire market of adult affiliates. Including porn sites, adult toys, condoms and dating sites. There are also gambling sites that focus on things like poker. And lastly, there is the “male enhancement” type stuff where you’ll promote Viagra. This type is taboo, so I avoid discussing it here, but there is an opportunity to make money in these niches if you do not have a moral objection. I won’t debate it here or anything. I personally consider these types of affiliates as “just another affiliate”. They are markets where money is being spent, which makes them a market where money can be made.

Check these guys out and sign up with them. Clickbank and Ebay are great and allows you to promote many different products. Make money products are highly competitive, so if you’re new you might want to start with niche products that are not in the internet marketing and make money niche.

I’ve had great success with a lot of free products on ClickBank. Get someone to sign up for a free service and make a couple of bucks. It has a great conversion rate is the best part.

Hey justin how are your ebay sites doing…are they still de-indexed? I noticed that your PR2 on your case study has dropped to a PR0, but i see your on the first page for on google for the words in the domain name of the case study, keep up the great work!

Justin October 29, 2008 at 6:35 pm: My ebay sites are still de-indexed. I haven’t put too much effort into them. I’ve been wasting time playing around with a few new ideas and scripts. I just made a post about a custom script I’m trying to make for myself. It’ll basically mimic the BANS function, but won’t have the footprint.

Yeah the PR dropped. It doesn’t surprise me since it doesn’t have the links required to maintain a PR 1 or PR 2. I was surprised they changed the toolbar PR b/t updates. I’m not too concerned though.

Yeah it’s listed for my targeted terms and ranks on one of the first 3 pages for most of them. Google was being weird with indexing it for a bit, but it seems to be doing well. I’m pulling in some traffic from some long tail searches. I’m just taking that site slow, because I don’t want to do anything funny with it since people will report it.
