I am just interested in what people look for in affiliate programs and what makes certain programs good?
I think affiliates look for the 4 C's. Great COMMISSIONs Excellent CONVERSIONS Long COOKIES And a good variety of awesome CONTENT AND CREATIVES.
Look for good products that are demanded and give high commissions to the sellers. You can find many very good products at Clickbank, even if they are not in the first positions. Everything depends on the way you promote them. Submit articles to article directories and other sites, post ads, create a free blog, work on it, be persistent, and you’ll make sales.
