If you are looking for good ways to monetize your website or blog you might try the following affiliate programs:

I’ve been using Amazon since 1998 or so. I have Amazon banners and buttons on a few of my blogs but the majority of sales that I make through Amazon are on my main website. My earnings have slowed in the last few years, but I’d say that I’ve probably sold about half a million dollars worth of merchandise for Amazon in the time I’ve been working with them and I’ve made several thousand dollars as a result of those sales. Amazon has worked fairly well for me.

Chitika on the other hand is something that I only started to try on my blogs about eight months or so ago. Over all it has not been all that successful for me. Perhaps if I put it on my large and busy website I’d do better. Certainly Chitika works well for many web site owners. In fact I’ve heard many state that it brings in as much or more as Amazon or Google Adsense for them. It does not for me.

As far as affiliate programs go Google Adsense is fast becoming my best money earner. Now, compared to A list bloggers I’m not making thousands each month or anything, but I am making enough that I get paid by them each month. I can’t say how much I’ve made because that is against Google Adsense’s terms of agreement.

I use Google Adsense on all of my websites and blogs. Perhaps that is one reason why I earn the most from them as affiliate programs go.

I’ve found that blending the ads into the site, and not over using Adsense works best. Glaring ads turn people off. For some, the amount of Google ads that I have on this site might be too much, but there are many sites out there with huge ads in their posts, that to me, just seems to ruin the reading experience. My suggestion is to not have ads obstruct the flow of your post or article.

Give these affiliate programs a try for a month or longer. More than likely one will work better for you than the rest.
