Biggest Affiliate Program Mistakes to avoid

I would very much love to make more money with affiliate programs, but affiliate managers don't make it easy for us affiliates.
This is the reason that compelled me to start this thread. So I call upon marketers who have made a nice living from affiliate programs over the years, to share their experiences.

 

are you an affiliate, or r u the other way around?

 

If you use adwords, be prepared to lose some money before you make it!

also, try to get low paid keywords and track track track

 

Sticking with something because you like it even though it is not profitable.

 

The affiliate programs I've joined haven't complained about me. They usually worry about fraud or stealing other affiliate's sales. Avoid those and you'll be on your way to making sure money.

Also avoid using their trade marks as keywords when purchasing ppc or adwords traffic. A lot of merchants don't allow that.
