    For monetizing screensavers, what I've considered doing is to create screensavers that target a particular interest group (anime for example), and then place a link graphic on each screensaver, which links to a site that I'm an affiliate of which sells products relating to that interest group. The link should be a domain name that masks the affiliate link by using masked URL Forwarding. The domain name used should be short, memorable, and easy for the user to type in.

    You can also use this method to monetize wallpapers and other graphical media.

    Here's some more info about masked URL Forwarding:-

    Check out the vomba network - You download screensavers, but to use them you must install their toolbar.
