My site is now 7 months old. Top day has been 30 USD Top month was January 2006 240 USD Working on a new site right now.
I have actively been involved with affiliate programs for approx 6 months and earned till today more than $9k. Not bad I think...
About 1/3 of my income comes from affiliate programs. Here is an example of two hosting companies I promote: 1. Hosting company #1 Clickthroughs in last 3 months - 375 Income - $50 Earnings per 100 Clicks (EPC) - $13.33 2. Hosting company #2 Clickthroughs in last 3 months - 160 Income - $300 Earnings per 100 Clicks (EPC) - $187.50 I track everthing I do and overall, I currently earn $17 per 100 unique clickthroughs. This number has been increasing as I improve my ad copy and drop programs that don't convert well. For example, I will probably drop company #1 and give the extra traffic to #2 since it is converting so well. The traffic I am using to send to my affiliate links comes from the Free Traffic Bar at www.freetrafficbar.com. I am building my own software calculator to make these calculations easier.
