Yes, we're doing quite well with affiliate programs, earning us thousands per month (in addition to our online advertising revenues) There are several factors to achieving success with affiliate programs: 1. Choose affiliate programs that your visitors would be interested in. The program should fit with the overall theme of your site and something your users would want. You can't achieve much success with an affiliate program for hotels if your website is about dogs. 2. Promote your affiliate programs. Using emails to banners to text links are ok. But the best way is through content -- write something about how effective the products/ services are. Tell your audiences that these are the best tools for them and why. 3. Location, location, location. Don't just put your affiliate program links on one spot of your website, such as the homepage. Visitors don't always come through your homepage - and these people will not likely see the affiliates you are promoting. If you can, put them on almost every page of your website. The more visible the affiliate program is, the more chances you can get a sale
