I have done alot of searching on the internet looking for these affiliate programs, but turn up with no joy i am quite new to all this internet stuff. I heard that there are all kinds of these programs, so could any one lead me to ones that work please.
It all depends on your traffic. Different things work for different websites. You can promote Credit-Land.com affiliate program -- works well for many sites. Everyone uses credit cards.
I think each affiliate marketer does well in different affiliate programs. I suggest just sign up on one of them and test them out and see what works for you. There is LinkShare, Commission Junction, ClickBank, Azoogle, Amazon and more.
I'm really loving Azoogle, www.azoogleads.com... Their applications might be backed up, but they're one of the best. I mostly like them because they assign you an affiliate manager, which is sooooooo much better than things like Commission Junction which you don't get an affiliate manager (not that I know of at least)... Azoogle also has some good lead generation offers.
I can recommend you a good casino affiliate program, if you don't have any website this program will buy for you free domain name, generate a new website for you for free and hosts it in UK offshore zone for free. It will pay you $100 per new player. For example, I generated a new website from this program http://www.777-online-gambling.co.uk PM me if you are interested to know more.
