Goran: If you know what types of products you would like to promote, check out the online retailers that sell the stuff if they have an affiliate program. Retailers often have a link in the footer that points to the info page about their program, which also has a signup link. If it is not in the footer, check the “About” or “Corporate” section.

To get to know a bit about affiliate marketing in general, check out the Wikipedia article to the subject at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Affiliate_marketing.

I also have tons of resouces on my site at Cumbrowski.com.

Hey Colin, you are absolutely right. However, when you see the revenue they are taking in from their current advertisers, giving up that kind of change to bring in more advertisers is an expense they do not have to bare.

From our prospective, it would be a very nice business arrangement for us.

I’ve always been very underwhelmed by Google’s affiliate program for AdWords and AdSense. The one off fee I think is the wrong business model for them to use.

They could turn out a sales force of millions if they promoted a lifetime percentage commission instead. Think about it. If they offered 2% of spend as a commission payment for the lifetime of the signup, you’d even be telling your local Chinese Takeaway about the benefits of AdWords, wouldn’t you? But for a few bucks, there’s not a lot of point.

I’m sure Microsoft’s deal is better, but ultimately this is a finite income stream, and as such, I’m out.

This is 700% better than the google adwords affiliate program, and I have seen a 20% conversion rate so far.

Glad its finally being promoted.
