affiliate programs
The affiliate program is the meat and potatos of making money online if your site is content driven. In layman's terms, if you have a blog, a how to site, a site dedicated to in depth subject specialization, then an affiliate program can generate good revenue for your site. The best part of the affiliate program, it is free to start up.
The first thing you should do is go to go over to Commission Junction and sign up. The second step is to analyze your webpage for content key words and use the common keywords in addition to your theme to choose your affiliate partners. For example, if your page is about websites, you should go to Commission Junction and search that subject and keywords. Once you narrow done the affiliates, you would then place their ads in strategic places on your page. As visitors come through, some of them will click on the adverts you placed on the page. Sales generated from clicking on these ads will generate income.
Each page of your website should have different affiliate vendors, even though the subject is the same as other pages on your site. The reason for this is simple; as the visitor surfs your site and sees the different ads on your site, one ad may be more appealing than another. Placing all of your hopes in that high paying advert will yield you poor results.
There are other affiliate programs out there other than Commision Junction. In fact, the majority of large e-tailers have an affiliate program. Do a Google search with the key words or subject title and affiliate and look at the results. We are pretty sure that you'll be able to find an affiliate program that will fit the page you are writing about.
