Web Site Affiliate Marketing - Four Programs

You can make a lot of money on your website if you have some good affiliate programs. But how do you know what programs are good and which ones aren't worth the time and effort? It's a difficult question to answer since a lot depends on your website's niche and your website's visitors. Here's a rundown of some of your affiliate options:

AGLOCO
AGLOCO is a different type of advertiser. This company works by recommending products to all of its members and paying the members dividends from the sales. The concept is good, "own the Internet," but the payout hasn't begun yet so it's a bit difficult to gauge how well you'll do as an affiliate. Go to AGLOCO for more info.

Amazon
Amazon tends to pay fairly low referral rates, so some website owners don't use them. But even a low rate on a high priced item is a lot of money. So if your website is about technology or gadgets, and you recommend high ticket items, you might do just fine as an Amazon affiliate. The other way to do well with Amazon is to sell a lot. The more you sell the higher your affiliate rate. Visit amazon and click on associates at the bottom.

TextLinkAds
TLA is a matchmaking system for advertisers and bloggers. You can use the service to advertise your website or you can sign up to host ads on your website and make money. TLA is best for niche websites that do not contain adult material and that get plenty of traffic. Go to their site for more.

HostGator
Hostgator pays pretty high referral rates and you don't have to use their hosting in order to be an affiliate. It's always a good idea to actually use a product before you recommend it and this author has used Hostgator and likes the service. Hostgator offers cheap and reliable web hosting. Visit their site for more information.
