While Google Adsense is still the best affiliate program available, there are a number of other affiliate programs that perform well.
Google’s competitive ad policy allows you to add other advertisements on the same page as your Adsense. As long as ads aren’t formatted to use the same layout and colors as the Google ads on your site, publish away.
So, what types of ads should you use???
The short answer – whatever works!
Affiliate programs work well when the products or services they offer are relevant to the user demographic that frequents your blog. If you’re writing book reviews, your site should have lots of affiliates who specialize in books. If you are blogging about electronics, choose affiliates who have a large amount of electronics based ads in their inventory.
Here is a list of some of the most successful affiliate programs to get you started. Test different programs against others to find out which ones will generate the most revenue for your blog.
