    Hello everyone. I've heard a lot about making money on Google Adwords by promoting other websites' products and services. So I want to start myself to promote as an affiliate. But which program and/or website's products to start from ?

    Thanks a lot.

    What is the subject of your website or your expertise? Your content should help determine what revenue stream is good for you.

    I know we have quite a few affiliates using adwords with our campaigns (cpaempire.com) and they do really well. Some build out the landing pages while others just use their affiliate url.

    I hear some people use adbrite on the same page as adsense. Not sure if that's allowed or not.

    clickbank offers a wide variety of electronic products which can be easily profitable if correctly advertised using google adwords. Take a look at their products.

    I'd recommend starting with Amazon for the following reasons:

    1. It is trustworthy
    2. Figures are updated daily
    3. You can see which products sold and guess which keywords the conversion came from.
    4. You can deep link
    5. It is a well-known brand
    6. Their prices are competitive
    7. Amazon.fr and .de are in markets where you can still get good positions for low CPCs

    One piece of advice though. Don't bid on the same keywords that comparison sites are bidding on.

    some affiliates don't allow using PPC ads to promote, especially is you are using their brand name in PPC ads. I think you shoule be careful in making your ads :)

    You should start with Pay Per Lead programs, you can find many on Comission Junction. There is a lot of competiton but can still generate few leads per day if your keywords list is good.

    In addition to the above, try checking out Commission Junction.

    I found clickbank the easiest to get started with. I signed up with all the affiliate programs Commission Junction, Amazon etc and within about 2 weeks I was making a profit from clickbank. Amazon is ok, but it's a lot of work for the payout you get.

    It's allowed, provided they're not using Adbrite's text ads - Google's ToS prohibits the use of contextual ads, and ads that mimic the look of AdSense ads, on the same pages as AdSense ads.
