just doesn't make sense

    Once the user goes to the affiliate site they will then skip your site and go straight to the affiliate's site.
    So why bother since you get no repeat business...
    Adsense would do better than anything affiliate based.

    why not just have the link open in a new window? Then your site is still in the tabs

    Because in a site like this you don't care about you're site. The ONLY purpose of your site is to get people to go to the site where to product is sold, and hopefully give them more encouragement to buy the product. If they buy the product you don't care if they come back to your site.

    exactly right, you should also try to promote products that provide residual income rather than one-time payments. You could also tamper with some opt-ins to build a list for long term profits, as long as it doesn't affect your conversion rate.

    With enough traffic you do not care about repeat business (if it happens good!). That is why the content on your site is the king - the magnet that keep attracting visitors and search engines. Try changing your approach to affiliate selling......

    The key is to find a long cookie period like 60 days so if they return then you get the commission.

    Dude haw can you say that Adsese is better than affiliate marketing? they are two different platform of online income. so you can't compare these two.
    if you want to promote your products in your site then there is no need to have a high quality of that site. but you have to have a site cause its totally prohibited to direct to your affiliate offers from a third party site. you have to have a medium to pass the visitors to your offers so its important to have a site.

    Ideally, your site should offer some extra services for customers, so they will want to come back. It could be reviews or price comparisons or coupons or even having a site where products are really easy to find.

    Fact is, affiliate marketing works really well, and it's better moneymaker than adsense.
