    I am new to the pay per click advertising and want to know who offers the best affiliate programs. I am running a simple blog here: http://www.failingbusinesses.com I have ad space and would like to utilize it once I generate more traffic.

    Please, any suggestions or ideas are appreciated. :eek:

    Try joining a network like CJ or Google Aff Network... they will list hundreds of programs for you to run.

    Actually the best network depends on what you want to sell. Even Clickbank is better than clickjob depending on the niche market. First thing is what is the blog about/ what will you be selling, then do some homework as to what network offers the best products in that area

    Good Luck

    Also take a look at their testimonials, contact them to make sure that they provide adequate support and that they pay on time.

    Selecting affiliate network depends on website business, what is the website about. Choosing a good affiliate network will result with increased website profit, that you generate as a commission of the sales.
    Besides affiliate network website that has offers for both advertiser and affiliates, there are company or product website that has "Affiliate program" offer, usually placed in Partnership link. Check Reason4web.com, they offer commission of 25% per sale.

    Not all Affiliate Networks offer the same affiliate programs, therefore you will need to do some research to find the right program to fit your niche and goals. For example, companies that may be using Commission Junction for their affiliate managing needs may not offer a program on PepperJam and vice versa.

    I actually utilize a handful of different networks, each one fitting a different niche or need. Maxbounty is great for leads, PJ is great for eBay and other niche promotions, and CJ is tried and true, offering a metric crap ton of niche options.

    cldnails is right, we have many affiliates who use us and other networks at the same time. This way you get to have a good variety of choices. Also, if a campaign goes down for one program, it might still be available through another.

    And I like ecomleads. But then I am biased.

    Hello BOOMBOOM,

    My advice will be

    "Make sure to read the terms and conditions" before you sign up.

    Not many of us like to read small font letters or pages regarding terms and conditions but that is very important. This way, you know exactly who you are dealing with and what terms are against you.

    Good luck!

    Not meaning to be funny but you're not going to make money from a site that just copies articles from other sources. In fact, it could end up costing you.

    You just have to develop your traffic first before thing of joining affiliate program because it is very hard to earn from them.

    You should selct your affiliate program based on your niche.

    I have being searching many places on the web for money making opportunities. I have come across many scams as well as websites that don't pay or have a very low payout.

    The affiliate i am working with is Referforex.com. It is absolutely free with no downloading or initial fees. It is totally free. You just have to register there and get a banner code. Then place this code on our website or blog and get started.

    Actually I choose affiliate based on:
    1. The reputation and popularity of the product and company
    2. The commission structure.
    3. Relevancy of product with my blogs.
    4. The terms and conditions of the affiliates.

    Like that you also choose something that is helpful to your blog as well as for your returns.

    I am using public information and posting sources with URL to the sources. This is legal. I am not taking credit for writing any articles. I am simply gathering information from public news sources on the internet related to the U.S. economy. How could this cost me? :confused:

    And thank you for all of your advice. I have a lot of studying to do to see where the trend is and how I can capitalize on it using ads. Trial and Error is my learning process.
